‎Do top leaders or presidents of countries or big corporations and businesses do better economically because they were brought up from a rich family background with wealthy parents or from a poor family background with poor parents?
‎ Or better put, does the financial status of ones family background, that is, does one being born and brought up by rich or poor parents, have a lot to do with how well they do later in life when they attain leadership roles in big corporations and businesses or become the president of a country?
I can say no because our previous president came from ordinary backgrounds and did not have wealthy backgrounds or come from powerful families. In general, perhaps most of them came from wealthy and powerful families, but a small number also came from ordinary families. It's a matter of luck and the hard work each person builds, and if we have the intention, I believe the process never betrays the results.

Supporting roles are indeed essential in today's climate, as attaining power and wealth is much easier if we possess them. However, what if we don't have them? Should we give up and not fight for the success we desire? Everyone has an equal opportunity if they're willing to fight for it.
