"Reflecting the UHNW population at large, the vast majority of UHNW alumni of these institutions have created their own wealth. At 84%, the UHNW alumni of the University of Virginia and University of Chicago show the highest proportion of self-made people."[/quote]

I think what people are trying to convey is that none of these people come from poverty. While they may have not been HNW as a children the VAST majority come from at least upper middle class backgrounds.

Americans really need to let go of the bootstrapping myth because it’s simply a myth!![/quote]

It’s not a myth, it just rarely happens at this scale in one generation. I do know one billionaire who started out poor, but most are like my family — poor sharecropper works his way into middle class, sends kids to state colleges & professional careers, the grandkids go to private colleges & accumulate enough wealth to be UMC, and then, sometimes, the great-grandchildren go on to be the Bill Gates of the world. In each generation, there are those who fail despite the advantages given to them, but there are always some who seize the opportunity and move up the financial ladder. [/quote]
