Sure it helped being a bit more... but was he just a bit more successful than other people that inherited as much?

How much have your parents invested or will leave to you? Do you think you can grow it by how much?

You said "what's your excuse" for not being a billionare, as though everyone was starting off with a level playing field.  That's obviously not even close to being true, not by any stretch of the imagination.  It takes money to make money--I know, as I've owned two store-front businesses--and Trump starting off with millions in assets and his father's business gives him a massive edge when compared to the average person.  That's an iron-clad fact.  The "what's your excuse" line was silly.

it was silly in the way he used it, but there are selfmade billionairs. from poor and middleclass background. bloomberg, gates, branson, they all started as middle class children.
