That would be a decent analogy, if only it wasn't said by someone who managed to do almost exactly that a hundred times over.
Who is more believable, a person who has built/built-up and runs several multi-billion dollar companies and accomplished more in his life than 99.999% of people that have ever lived?, or the random person on the internet who likes to anonymously criticize successful people?
Sounds a bit like jealousy to me.
