Here I ask 4 questions?
Question #1 Is it Education?
No, about 35% of selfmade billionaires have high school or less education. E.g. Amancio Ortega, currently the richest selfmade billionaire in Europe. He is from Spain. He dropped out of high school.
Question #2 Is it Religion?
No, I have found they come from all religion. E.g. Alisher Usmanov of Russia. He is the owner of Arsenal Football Club in England. His is Muslim and his wife is Jewish.
Question #3 Is it Race?
No, 95% of the countries in the world have selfmade billionaires, across all 7 continents, and including all races
