Anyone who made it big before 25 just got extremely lucky. That doesn't mean that they're not smart though. You shouldn't give yourself such a short timeline for achieving your career goals - The odds are severely against you. Capitalism isn't optimised for fairness; it's optimised for making as many people work for as long and as hard as possible (and this effect is only going to get worse with time). Financial success is actually an oddity - A flaw in the system. It goes against what it's optimised to do. Think of capitalism like the carrot dangling in front of the horse to keep the horse moving. If you've learned to enjoy watching the carrot dangling and wiggling around aimlessly at the end of that stick, then you're getting the most value out of the system.
