RE: "After all, if a college dropout can become the world's wealthiest person in less than a couple decades, isn't there more than enough opportunity to allow anyone to achieve an enormous and unprecedented level of success."

At the risk of bursting some bubbles out there, the answer is a resounding NO!

There is opportunity, but realistically, "enormous", "unprecedented" is not afforded "anyone." Just talk to some high school students who score 1000 on their SAT.
