"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]

We are half way to $30 million (49 year olds) and came from nothing, eg, goodwill for clothes and no field trips in public schools bc parents didn’t have $50. I always preach victimization and grievance mentality (Except to my kids) [b]Bc it lessens may marginally lessen competition against them in the future by those follow my advice.[/b] Give up. Focus on how you have been wronged and devote all of your energy and time thinking about what u could have done but for ur parents income, skin color, your gender, and ion and on and on. I love it!!

Wow. What a miserable way of poisoning the well out of a misguided zero-sum game mentality towards people your children probably won't even come in contact with or have to actually compete with later in life. Have you considered that this may mean that the brilliant, future female entrepreneur/scientist/CEO who could have hired your kid as a right-hand man may instead be stymied because of your venom? Don't you wonder whether other vipers like you out there are sending the same message to your kids?[/quote]
