"Self made" rich people lived life a certain way and made their money through luck

FTFY. Give me the name of a self-made rich person and I'll tell you how they either a) weren't as self-made as their hagiobiography says or b) were luckier than they admit.

I’m a self made rich person and I work 70 hours a week. I have worked 70 hour weeks my entire career.

Nobody is saying "they did everything themselves" literally. Obviously there is help around, especially so when the enterprise is big. Question is just whether their advice has any value.
