After reading some of the comments here at HN, yes I do. In fact, in the spirit of debate (which is mostly what we all do here at HN) this is a valid point to discuss.
Probably not important in the grand scheme of things, but really it's commentary about catchy/misleading headlines and news stories than it is about the specifics of this story.
"Founder Goes from Rags to Riches" is a better headline than "Upper Middle Class Yahoo! Engineer Makes Billions". Both are correct but in order to gain readers the former is chosen almost every time (for better or worse).
I'm going to do us both a favor and stop checking this thread and get back to making my own success story ;)
