Criticizing the level of "self-made"-ness of billionaires seems like a waste of time. These are extreme outliers. Of course they had to start with every advantage and have everything go just right and also work their asses off. You're talking about a 1 in a billion chance to get to that level. It's like looking at an Olympic gold medal winner and saying "Oh yeah, well of course they broke the world record in the 100-meter dash. They were born with genetic predisposition for the sport and they had the best coaches and their parents got up at 4am to drive them to practice and..." Well, yeah. But a lot of people might have those advantages and not achieve anything with them. Sure, Zuckerberg went to some fancy prep school. So did all of his classmates. None of them started Facebook. There's lots of other Congressmen who have kids. None of them are Warren Buffet. But claiming that being "self-made" is something that doesn't exist because the extremest outliers had unusual circumstances (this is surprising for some reason?) ignores all the people who make more modest success largely by their hard work and ingenuity.
