No, I don't think so. Wealth is part of it, sure. But so is intelligence. So is looks. So is ambition. You're focusing on wealth because it's the easiest thing to measure, but wealth, especially wealth alone, isn't destiny.
Everybody knows people who grew up poor and "made it", and also people who had all the advantages but can't seem to make anything of themselves.
