Did you also start a business from the ground up and run it to the size that generates $50M in revenue? What exactly about Backblaze is a "sweet gig if you can get it"...achieving this is not trivial...

Of course it's not. You need to have gone to the right school, made the right friends, be the right ethnicity/gender (white or asian male), and have access to the right VC. But given all that, it's a cakewalk.
This is really all there is to it. You don't actually have to build a business anymore to get rich. You just put together something that looks like one, pay yourself a handsome salary for 10 years, then cash out and retire to New Zealand.
