    “Self made billionaires” is propaganda. No billionaire is self made. Their billions were leeched off all the workers who created their wealth.

      It’s also about who you know not what you know. The opportunity to get wealthy is only given to those the older wealth approve of. All the biggest names in tech built their monopolies on VC dollars.
