He didn't begin life as a Yahoo employee. What are you even trying to say?

  He's suggesting that this headline ignores the period after the time when his family was on food stamps. The period where he had the financial means to live a fairly 'comfortable' life. The movement wasn't food stamps to filthy rich, but food stamps, to upper middle class existence, and then from upper middle class existence to filthy rich.

    The latter move is still the former move.

      I would disagree. There's a distinct difference between food stamps->gigantic acquisition and food stamps->comfortable life as software developer at giant corporation->gigantic acquisition. The former glosses over the entire period in-between.
