Maybe someone who came from modest beginnings to become successful, or someone who lost everything and was able to piece it back together?

My brother is a first generation college grad and a PhD. Is a top guy at a medical manufacture facility. We weren’t dirt poor, but we were far from rich. Well, he is now.

Could say my Dad.

Literally born and raised in a dirt floor shack 1 of 10 kids working a cotton farm.

Volunteered during Korean War to avoid draft and thus choose posting in Germany rather than go to the SE Asian theater.

Then GI Bill (+work) through Civil Engineering and off into corporate America, where he made a couple million dollars and retired comfortably.

The End.

A large majority of multi millionaires and billionaires build their own wealth and do not inherit it.

And the 2nd generation loses it.

I went to school with a large family of black kids. 15. Mom worked in the school cafeteria, dad was a construction laborer. All 15 are medical doctors. Man that old lady could cook.

It ain’t no baller, but I’m making more money than my parents ever did. I consider that success.

I bet she had to know how to cook raising 15 boys.

She had the right job cooking for a school. We sometimes went by after ball practice and I was like the salt grain in a pepper shaker but she fed me like one of her own.
