Is that even true? I have met some rich people and they, in general, do not like to talk about how much money they have or what their grades were. I don't even know how anybody would conduct a study like this. How do you get a sample size that is representative of the average millionaire? I guarantee you will not be able to get all millionaires to complete your survey, and you won't even be able to get a list of all the millionaires in america. So you will necessarily have a survey of only a subset of millionaires, most likely a very small subset, and how could you possibly know if this subset is average at all? The youtube presenter does cite a scientific study, but that is a different study that surveyed valedictorians. Valedictorians are much easier to track down, as being a valedictorian is a public award that gets big mention in every yearbook. So, no I am not sure this is true. I suspect this might be one of these completely made up factoids that become famous and travel widely because they seem true and people kind of just want them to be true. Something like Malcom Gladwells's 10 000 hours rule. Of course it is possible that this is true, or the true average is another mediocre number. I would not be surprised, but even if this is the case there are many other possible explanations other than rule breaking. As an aside I have to say that we must be a little careful about worshiping rule breaking rich people. Rule breaking can be very beneficial to society if it bring about more wealth. But it can also be very harmful to human beings and downright evil. The rules being broken may be the laws of the land or moral rules we all feel are important. In that case I do not think being a rule breaker is an excuse.
