I'm sure most relatively successful people downplay, to some degree, in their own minds just how much of a role their family backgrounds and general luck in life have played in getting them wherever they are, but increasingly I think there's actually an inverse correlation. The greater the advantages you were born with, the more disadvantaged you really were!
It all makes sense, really. It was twice as hard for Andrew Cuomo to become a successful politician because of the curse of his name!
