Bezos also had parents that gave him a several 100 thousand dollar loan that they never expected to be paid back. He's a product of Montessori and Ivy League education. Definitely not a rags to riches story

From 100 thousands to Billions is kind of rags to riches. And even so - you are saying he doesn't deserve his success? It doesn't count because he went to Montessori school?

I was a very bright kid (won math olympiads a lot), and I can get loans easily. Still I'm not Bezos-rich somehow ...
