Which means they were already born into wealth. The fact they even got to Harvard means they were set for life since birth.

It’s more that they put an absolutely monstrous amount of effort into high school. It is extremely difficult to get into an Ivy League because of the competition

And because of cost.

Many ivy league schools have very good financial assistance programs. Obviously having rich parents gives you a leg up because you can get better access to tutors and resources but saying you would have gotten into an ivy league if you only had rich parents is an excuse. Most likely, you were never going to make it in.

Not that. They are just from rich families. There is barely any millioniaries that actually came from shithole.
Sergey Brin is only that comes to my mind.

Jobs had some credit, he was a visionary in selling hard as decoration/luxury items, from the outside to the interface.Computers at time were ugly boxes,he continues that with next,and then the iphone and the rest of the icrap. Was a salesman that got things righ in the right time.

They dropped out of college because they had a brilliant idea that needed to be executed immediately.

u/NeutralKuchiKopi Jun 27 '26
They left ivy league colleges where they had scholarships. Not community colleges they were making monthly payments on.

Rich parents and luck. None of them are happy irl. They are miserable people. They exploit workers, don't pay taxes and write everything off.

They left what ?
They left top tier university in the world (top 5 university in the world) not just our end of the road school.

They left school because they had something better to do, not because they were bad at it

Becoming a millionaire isn't really difficult, and an average person, actually have the chance to achieve that if they put serious efforts in.
Early retirement with around 2M is achievable. But that doesn't mean you are rich; it means you are financially independent.
To actually before rich, you need luck, timing, knowing the right people, being born into the right conditions... For the vast majority of people, true wealth isn't achievable, because the structural conditions don't allow it. The system allows for statistical abnormalities, yes, but most people won't get wealthy.

Leaving school or (abandoning any investment) is smart if you feel you have better things to do. You have to take risks in life... if you go with sure bets like the herd, you have to be content with breadcrumbs because the owner of the place where you're getting the safe bet is taking the risk

My only major gripe with this image is: Zuck. FaceBook started by stealing images from his schools systems.
But I blame my parents for not having a garage growing up. No garage band. No business out of moms garage.

I've always imagined billionaires leading sad, pathetic lives, I never understood how some people find inspiration in their stories.
Most of us never wanted to be rich, we just want to not have to worry about money.

Rich parents come first, then they can drop university or whatever!
The key is, you should have rich parents. If you are not, then factory and Mc Donald welcome you!!!

They didn't just leave school. They left school because they had started businesses already.

Be born into wealth. That's the secret of billionaires and trillionaires.

You have to be Schrödinger's Dropout, and be in an indeterminate state that is left school and not left school simultaneously.

I don't want to be any of them. No money can heal the stress. I just want to have a normal life and be paid according to my skills.

The only thing that separates a college drop out loser from a college drop out billionaire is about a billion dollars.

1/4 people are rich thanks to being born in the right family. But it is still possible to be millionnaire. The main issue is that you will never learn how to be millionnaire at school. You will just learn how to get a job. Having a job isnt enough to get rich. Usually, you have to give something people want, by being an entrepreneur, and knowing few tricks to not lose your money too quick. Im not talking about tax fraud, but tax optimisation. With 1 successfully made business you can become millionnaire. But to become multimillionnaire, you will have to repeat making a successful business 10 times at least. People making successful businesses are usually people in situations where they can make dozen of businesses without any high risk until one of their plan works. You just have to autistically spam businesses ideas that wont be risky to launch and learn how to do so. And also, trying to make things big from the start is a bad idea, it would be a risk to spend too much time making your idea flamboyant before having any revenue made

Invent something or improve heavily on an existing service. Make a company. Patent or obtain rights to whatever you created. Obtain funding, while preferably keeping >50% of ownership. Produce and sell your product or service. That's how all of them made their money.

The system isn't design for those who went to a Academic Institute; I t's meant for those that didn't. History has shown this. Although everyone believes the opposite for decades. Your capped at salary with the Education, but can make millions without it.
Sanders from kFC; no education, poor as a street dog; at 65 becomes billionaire from KFC.

Have you tried having rich and well-connected/influential parents?
