If your parents are wealthy lawyers/own 1000s of acres of land/ own a business/ can give you 100 000 or 1 Million Dollars to start your business – you are not self made. You have a massive advantage compared to 99% of the population.
It is like 99% more likely that these people suceed compared to the average Joe.
Also you arent rich until you hit at least 5 Million+ so stop claiming that you know like 5 people that have become Millionaires. Because “having” like 2 Million of which 1.8 Million is tied to the House and property you havent paid of is not rich.
