[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that common [/quote]

Neither are rags to riches stories, yet I read about those all the time. On average, when controlling for inflation, people achieve the same level of success as their parents. For every overachiever, there's an underachiever.[/quote]

I doubt this for many people of incredibly successful parents. Bill Gates’ eldest is a Stanford graduate and a doctor. She’s very impressive [b](we have no idea if her parents’ wealth opened any doors)[/b] but she didn’t start a billion dollar company like her father. My husband’s parents are very successful and have worked in high profile cabinet-level roles in the government and similar type roles in the private sector. He has one sibling who is a lobbyist, one sibling who is a therapist, and he is a banker. When it comes to success they are not even close to their parents. [/quote]

"We don't know if being Bill Gates' daughter opened any doors for her." Lol, GTFO.[/quote]
