Buffett is like the worst person you could use as an example. He routinely says he was set up for success by luck.

Buffett says, he and Munger won the real-life version of the ovarian lottery and that helped launch them into their immense success. “I mean, Charlie — when we were born the odds were over 30-to-1 against being born in the United States, you know? Just winning that portion of the lottery, enormous plus,” he says.

He also points out that he and Munger were both born male and white, which gave them further advantages from the start.
