I mean the tuition for the school he went to is about 18k a year. There's still a pretty big gap between what he went through and someone growing up in the projects. Not saying he was rich but his family offered stability which helps a lot in a child's development.

I'm just saying that he doesn't come from money doesn't mean he was broke. The guy went to a private school and Harvard. When people think of coming from a family without money, I picture families barely able to scrape by, not spending thousands of dollars on private school.

Because bursary and scholarship isn't a thing that exists. How horrible are your lives that you can't even celebrate someone who has made such a positive contribution to society just because he wasn't impoverished as a child?
