the people you are noting are the exception, not the norm, therefore, they only account for a very small percentage of society at large and therefore do not provide relevant statistical data.

Consider the number of people born at or below the poverty line, and then consider the number of people who have become independantly wealthy from those origins. If this is an 'average' outcome, then I will accept your argument. If it's not, then your argument has no foundation.
