You haven't seen anything. What you are experiencing is the survivorship bias.

In reality, wealth comes from luck.. and inheritance most of the time with some exceptions.

Volontaraly nourrishing the myth of the self made man is only a way not to redistribute wealth in a world where 1% of the population have twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together.
This is not only dangerous, this is plainly STUPID and SUICIDUAL.

No its not just "a" factor, its THE biggest factor (for priviledge people, for others its something else).
And ? We are talking about the upper upper class here, not the middle class.
See, the thing you don't understand, is to start a startup which has a chance in 1 million to hit the jackpot (I'm voluntarily exagerating), you already need to have a CAPITAL in term of knowledge and culture. Something only a few people have.
This capital is not something you aquire magically, it related to your place in the social structure. In short, its based on where you are born and most likely the ressources of your family in term of wealth and culture.
That's the problem with capitalist like you guys.. they don't understand the reality of classes and why the myth of the "self made man" is actually just really the story of an already priviledge white man who had a really good luck.

Not really, biggest predictor for wealth is education.
My comment was “most millionaires are self made”
And since when are multimillionaires middle class lmao
Tf are you talking about? And no shit not every startup is going to succeed. That’s impossible in any setting.
the fact is finding investors is not that hard.
Bruh I literally worked in finance LMAO
I know infinitely more about this topic than you. I am not exaggerating when I say millions or startup are created every year in the U.S.

Its not about him its about the data. That's sociological. A white man has higher chances to gain wealth in our racist world than a racialized man.. and I'm not even talking about the chances of women ....
And tell me, when poor and wealthy people don't get to access the same education, how in the world do you manage to make the world a wealthy place ? hmmm ???
My point exactly, we are not talking about the middle class but billionnaires and milllionaires. In short, those who currently possesses almost all the wealth in the world.
The F I'm talking about ? Sociology is what I'm talking about. THe way the society is structured and the way people have access to knowledge and wealth. And spoilers: This access is not equal and it begins at birth.
And ? Macron is a president... it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't understand jack sh*t about the reality of social structure and wealth distribution or the way we aquire wealth or the way we should treat people more equally or the way we should fight fascism or the way we should.... ETC. ETC.
I don't care about your background mate, you just made a very ignorant stance on self made men, your point of view is therefore not relevant on the subject.

That sociology bro 
We live in a world were people are racialized and were that racialization has real effect on those people on a wealth term

do you know how studies work? They take stuff like that into account. So taken into account race, the biggest predictor iseducation
And like I pointed out before, most millionaires are self made
Econ is a sociology and any Econ PhD student I know would laugh at your clueless comment about startups.
Also how tf did you insert wealth inequality and structures in a conversation about start ups? Stop trying to be sneaky about shit and stay on topic
