1- your parents/family wealth
2- your parents/family connections
3- your genetics

These are the biggest three factors.

Now, within those that have these advantages, you can add more individual traits like ambition, determination, hard work etc.


Some who don't have those advantages can be exceptions to the rule, for sure. Just as some
With advantages will fail.

That is true about family connections but on the other hand providing better opportunities for your kids is in the top 3 reasons people strive harder so I don't understand why people (not saying you) sneer so much about successful people's kids. Why would I strive to be successful for my kids to start out even with everybody else?
