I am an example of that. But speaking of parents, they cared about my education and pushed me to learn.

Exactly.

What really predicts success is how <pushy> your parents are. But also how hard you work, how gifted you are and what kind of people you meet in school. It's not 100% the parents. There are plenty of rich parents with children with low educational results. They don't care.
