Comment on Pitfalls of Equity for Employees In Startupsparent

The vast majority of founders are not spoiled rich kids playing with daddy's money.

I can believe most aren't rich, in the grew-up-in-a-mansion sense. But it'd be interesting if there were some hard numbers on it. What is the distribution of socioeconomic backgrounds of founders who raise VC? I've got some anecdotes myself (mostly suggesting solidly upper-middle-class), but data would be more enlightening.
