I don't think that is true
Warren Buffet' father was a congressman
Larry Page's father was a professor of computer science at University
Sergey Brin's father was professor of mathematics at University and his mother worked at NASA
these are the first three I looked up and they don't look like low or middle class
- eanzenberg 7y agoYour model breaks down. 99.9999999...% of children of congresspeople, professors and NASA workers are not billionaires.
- minikites 7y agoIt's a "necessary but not sufficient" type of condition.
- chinesempire 7y agoI think you made some mistakes in your math. There are 535 Congressmen in USA, 99.99999999% of them is well... 535. If I find the son of a Congressman that made billions your model will prove wrong Warren Buffet is one.

- ThrowawayR2 7y agoHow are professors not middle class, financially? Academia doesn't pay particularly well.
- chinesempire 7y agoI wish my father was professor at University. How is it not upper class?
- bradlys 7y agoFinancially - it's possible they're middle class. I've seen plenty of professors making $150k+/yr though... That's 3x the median household income. But, I think middle class is more than just raw finance. Educational background of the parents is very important too. If you grow up with two professors - don't you think you'll do better than two high school dropouts? (On average)
