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 do believe that there are a lot more people who end up becoming leaders of a company or a nation if they are from a wealthy and powerful family but this doesn't mean that it's totally impossible for a poor person to make his way up. It is just a lot harder for the poor individual.
I say this for example in my country political dynasty is a very huge thing. If your father is a politician, you can also be a politician and your son will also become a politician. That is because it is a lot easier to be successful in a field if someone this case your parents already did the work for you.
