I think in part Zuckerberg thinks of his own personal success this way. In his mind, he did well because He was Him, and right all the time.

A more humble view might include that he was raised in relative privilege, a lot of doors were open to him, and there was a lot of good luck involved.

He was also more willing than most to abuse the trust of his fellow students at Harvard.

I imagine it is only a small fraction of people who would be so brash as to ask fellow students for their email passwords, but with the benefit of hindsight, it seems clear that someone who asks for that information probably wants to do something nasty with it.
