This is true of some founders. Zuckerburg and Gates both very smart and driven people. Though if Gate's dad was not a wealthy lawyer, Gates would not have gone to Lakeside a private school in Seattle. Which also had a computer, something almost no other school had at the time. I believe Zuckerburg's dad funded relatively large server costs in the early days. While without that I am sure some form of FB would be around but maybe a little different and probably with Zuckerburg own less of it.
