  3. Not true. Quite a few billionaires were from families that were not super wealthy. Bill Gates father was a lawyer but not the kind of wealth that Bill generated from Microsoft.

Benson worked as a car salesmen in New Orleans before moving to San Antonio and starting his own dealership. Mark Zuckerberg is the son of a dentist father and psychiatrist mother. Good paying occupations but hardly the 1%.

    Michael Dell is the son of immigrants. At the age of 8 he started investing the money he earned from part time jobs into stocks. Oprah Winfrey was born in Mississippi to a poor unwedteenage mother.
