> the ability and optimism to work your way up without limits

Kind of like Trump did? Or the current generation of Walton family?

Anyway, I thought this was short and to the point on this subject: https://brightside.me/article/what-you-should-think-about-be...

Larry Ellison was born in Brooklyn, NY to a single mother, Ellison was raised by his aunt and uncle in Chicago who were quite poor. Howard Schultz (Starbucks CEO), Sean John, Oprah Winfey, Jay-Z, do you want me to continue naming people who come from hard positions with little to no money and the inner-city and made it on a grand scale?

Google, or go talk to successful CEOs. You will be surprised how many come from hard backgrounds, difficult early lives, and financial hardship.

I googled. What I got was something like "These 11 rich guys grew up poor". Out of 300M population, correct?
