> How many people can do that?

The answer is simple: By definition only about 100-300 people.

There's only 100 of the "worlds biggest companies" (assuming this refers to the top 100). And companies are usually started by 1-3 people.

Similarly: There's usually only 4 participants in the top 4 of a tournament bracket.

(The question is a bit: what does "can" even mean in this context and the answer im hinting at here: It's not individual skill that creates companies ex-nihilo. It's our economic system that produces companies.)
