I disagree that this somehow disqualifies their marginalization that they started with. They may have had another characteristics about their lives that affected that marginalization in unexpected ways. For instance, before Kim Kardashian was the "western beauty standard" she was effectively a nobody who did a pornography film with an R&B artist. Generally we regard sex workers as marginalized by default and yet the way she maneuvered everything made it like rocket fuel to her career. Had she messed that up we'd be talking about her more like Paris Hilton, who had vastly different outcomes. Brian Kolfage was similar; the man has to travel in a wheel chair and has a prosthetic hand most of the time, so I heavily disagree that he's relatable to any degree. You may have a point about Holmes and SBF, but I rather doubt many of the people who did business with them knew their parents. That's to say, I think you can find an abundance of reasons to eschew someones marginalization once they're successful. That's what intersectionality tries to address, and your reply seems to be the antithesis to intersectionality.
