That definition makes a lot more sense, bar someone like Gates? Do you have any links going in-depth more?

- joe_the_user 10y agoWell, if you mention Bill Gates, you aren't mentioning someone who worked their up from nothing. Rumor has it family connections helped Microsoft get their deal with IBM but in any case: "He is the son of William H. Gates Sr.[b] (born 1925) and Mary Maxwell Gates (1931–1994). His ancestry includes English, German, Irish, and Scots-Irish.[17][18] His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way." Which is simply to say the group of entrepreneurs who have worked their way up from nothing is smaller than many people imagine - since people do generally think of Gates as being in this group. And lots of Billionaires like to portray themselves as coming from nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates#Early_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates#Early_life
