I truly believe people underestimate sheer luck and a good grasp of an said opportunity.

Mark is a mediocre innovator and a weak and ruthless leader. He has had the chance to claim ownership of Harvard Connection before Fb and purchase trendy platforms being a billionaire.

I sense more luck, opportunity, a huge team of advisors, and less skill, talent or chrisma.

The problem is the American identity is so closely tied to rich capitalists being essentially "god given right" the same way kings used to be god given rulers, that the mythology surrounding their right to horde wealth is basically a necessity.
