I&#x27;ve only met, or overheard one wealthy man give proper credit to his families wealth(money, access to power, access to good attorneys, the best schools, the best loans, the best business advisors, etc.), reguarding the fortune they amassed,  and that was George Sorows.  George said in numerious interviews, &#x27;I owe everything to my father.  With out him, and his money, I wouldn&#x27;t have anything.&#x27;  I&#x27;m paraphrasing.  The rest of the rich boys always leave out the inside help they received in critical points in their career, or climb to the top.<p>I guess what I&#x27;m saying is they all want the world to think they made their own money.  All are modern day Horiatio Algiers?<p>So, I don&#x27;t buy Forbes figures;  &quot;There’s no doubt that entrepreneurship is thriving globally. Fully 1,191 members of the list are self-made billionaires, while just 230 inherited their wealth. Another 405 inherited at least a portion but are still working to increase their fortunes.&quot;<p>Exactly how did Forbes come up with these numbers?  I quickly looked at the list, and I buy the athletes didn&#x27;t have much help, but the rest; I wouldn&#x27;t bet on it.  They had a lot of unseen help.  Yea, you can always find a few exceptions, but I bet it&#x27;s less than 10 individuals.
