Of course people who start with deficits in education, cultural impact and opportunity are less likely to be successful, regardless of need. Need isn't the only factor, but it's a big factor.

People who grow up with a silver spoon up their ass might be perfectly fine people and may do nicely in carrying forward the businesses or wealth they inherit, but they rarely change the world from an industrial standpoint.

Elon Musk loves to discuss how on two occasions, Tesla was weeks away from bankruptcy. He's convinced that he's built what he's built only because he's had to put in every last chip when the going got tough.
