About 1/3 of billionaires and millionaires come from a 'shirtsleeves' background. Another 1/3 come from nice middle class family with no particular wealth.

Self made rich are hated by Marxists because they aren't supposed to be possible. It disproves the 'no one can get out of poverty' bullshit. Even though most people raised in poverty don't live in it as adults.
