Maybe I did come off as envious, but I'm not angry, or sad, or feeling like I don't have opportunities to be a successful startup founder myself. It's just that you do often see a pattern among founders. It's so common that I've started noticing it.
It's certainly not true that you have to come from a privileged family to be a successful entrepreneur. Look at examples like Larry Ellison.

It seems like your question was set up to confirm your conclusion. If you had instead asked how Drew was able to support himself, you'd probably get a more accurate answer.
