Point is, hundreds of millions of people have access to a garage, food, and clothing, yet cannot mirror the success that these men have achieved.

That's not the point at all. The point is that starting a company was not a risk for these men, because they would be just fine if they failed.

And I think you're way off with that hundreds of millions number. I doubt there are that many people that can fully support their adult children, including footing the bill for all startup costs.
