Top comment on that page is perfect:
Mommy was one of the higher ups at IBM. Gates got most of it just handed to him. They are not the same.
But but but... my parents stories about self-made, and cheapskate, and he's rich cause apparently he's not frivolous, and wears sweatpants, and other dumbass lies they ate up...
I bet my hand to the fire that Bill Gates didn't eat avocado toast and made coffee at home and that's why he is a billionaire today.
