The difference between Gates' wealth now and where he began as a "rich kid" is mind numbingly huge making what he started with almost insignificant. Yes Gates had a "head start" as many in this world do, but that only got him so far. I would also argue that Gates is really a bad (business/financial) example all around due to his massive wealth which really has no comparison.

The difference between what he owns now and than is not as huge as the difference between somebody whose parents could afford Harvard and somebody who is raised in Harlem, because he has not the same starting condition. There is a saying: The first million (billion, 100k, ...) is the most difficult one.
