Gates’ dad was a big finance attorney in Seattle. Definitely opened doors for him and helped get him access to capital.
Yes you need to do the work, but fundamentally you have a lot more room for error and have access to people and opportunities others simply don’t.
Zuckerberg got into Harvard. That set off his Facebook adventure. Would be a billionaire without the Harvard connections? Would he have gone to Harvard without wealthy parents.
I grew up poor surrounded by wealthy people. Now I’m not poor and I see the vast difference in services, opportunities and experiences that my kids have that I didn’t that will ultimately set them up much better than I was.
