Sure, the man with a net worth of $150 billion was born to a seventeen-year-old. But I have a hard time believing he had a rags-to-riches story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos#Early_life_and_education

Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen on January 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to a teenage mother, Jacklyn Gise Jorgensen, and father Ted Jorgensen, a bike shop owner and Chicago native.[3] At the time of her son's birth, Jacklyn was a seventeen-year-old high school student.

He was high school valedictorian and a National Merit Scholar.[18][19] In 1986, he graduated from Princeton University with a 4.2 grade point average and Bachelor of Science degrees in electrical engineering and computer science and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.[20][21] While at Princeton, he was also elected to Tau Beta Pi and was the president of the Princeton chapter of the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space.[22][23]

Why do I get the feeling he was nevertheless born rich and was one of those people that had everything handed to them throughout their lives?

People highlight Jeff Bezos was born to a teen mom, but I doubt he had it rough
