How many throws did Mark Zuckerberg have? Sergey and Larry? Elon Musk? I'm not saying life is fair, but you shouldn't generalize like this.

Zuckerberg went to Harvard and his father is a dentist. He was and is a rich kid.

Larry Page's parents were renown computer scientists in the 70s and 80s. Thus no doubt they were more then middle class. Now Segrey Im not sure, but if you have one founder that is rich then well...

Elon Musk's father was also a computer scientist back in the day.

None of the people you mention grew up middle class ... rather the next level above .. either between middle class or flat out rich.

Are you sure you aren't moving the goal posts of middle class? I would say that dentists and computer scientists still belong perfectly to the middle class.
