Besides Wikipedia, is there a repository or curated list somewhere that outlines the privileged upbringing of the most successful company founders?

I never knew this info about Gates or Zuckerberg, fascinating to say the least.

They don't exactly advertise it. I remember Snapchat's founder (Evan Spiegel) was even weathier than Gates and Zuck (and that helped him resist buyout offers).

Wow we need more transparency so we can see if old money families are churning out the most successful founders and the variables their parents invest in for their privileged upbringing.
