This is approximately the correct breakdown. Its interesting that ⅔ of the combo could be lumped into different kinds of luck.

You can't do much about your inherited or birth situation, but the extremely successful people I know usually have a very fortunate background and also worked hard to expand their future luck surface so that when outrageous opportunity lightning was looking to strike somewhere, they had an outsized chance to be the spot.
