Perhaps not much, but most people -- even most startup founders -- don't come from a rich family.

Elon Musk's father owned an emerald mine, Bill Gate's father was a high-powered lawyer and his mother was on the board of directors for United Way, Mark Zuckerberg's parents are a dentist and a psychiatrist. I don't know the numbers of "even most", but I think it'd be interesting to get some numbers.
