I dont know anyone that has a mentor, except maybe parents. Is it really that common?

  Fraternities pair pledges with "big brothers". Groups like AA pair those early in the program with "sponsors". It's often not so formal, but any situation where someone is being "taken under the wing" is a mentorship.

    Yes but we're talking about mentorship in business. For what it's worth I only know one person with a 'mentor' in that sense and it's just one of his rich dad's friends.

  Not really. The problem is that people grow and change and even a few years so it's highly unlikely you'll have a single person who you can even constantly learn from, unless you're on a very long and well-defined career path and know somebody else who has been on or studied it well. Most people just need a good group of people to talk to. It obviously helps if they have more senior experience and have seen the problems already, but sometimes exact peers can also help via adding a new perspective.
