Yeah, there's a lot to that. Zuck would never have made it without outside guidance and favors. Bezos is certainly another one such. Gates climbed partway by himself but then they stepped in and made a deal. As for Wall Street wealthy, lots of unholy alliances, Goldman Sachs does things in partnership with the ones behind the Fed and various people get rich.

Our 'freedom' is just an illusion and has been since the American Revolution.
