So basically, this idea that how much wealth you end up with is entirely driven by circumstances you have nothing to do with is wrong. Yes, it is mostly driven by the wealth of the family into which you are born - but not entirely. It might be something like 65% birth, 25% luck, 10% your skill and work. But 10% is still not nothing."Luck" has way less to do with it than you think. I'd say its probably closer to just 50% family related, and 45% work ethic. Obviously a small part of the population lucks into things, but its incredibly rare, and even in those situations a lot of the time the luck is a result of putting in hard work (think about people who have invented something serindipidously after decades of failures). --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
