To be fair, this is pretty much the typical entrepreneur-idolization media story:

1. Gamble someone else's money

2. Luck into winning

3. Use the proceeds to invest in something a little less risky

4. Rinse and repeat

5. Be pointed to as an example of how entrepreneurism is a path to success, ignoring the vast majority who don't get past step 1
