Yes, he dropped out on order to work full time at Microsoft with Paul Allen. Can't say that I would have done the same in his situation. I guess that's why I'm posting on this forum from my desk at work instead of sailing a yacht around the world.

Yeah, but if you look at it globally, a person who is struggling(lets say) to make car payments on their corolla, while having only a HS education and earning very little compared to middle-class America, they would be considered "wealthy" (or holding 50% the wealth in this case) compared to all of China, India, and Africa. So these people do not necessarily meet the "wealthy" (upper-middle class to upper class, owns McMansion, drives BMW, Lexus, ect) stereotype.
