85% of the 1500 millionaires interviewed by Fidelity Millionaire Outlook "said" that they where self made.

Still, I would like to know how many of this "self made" millionaires are not white, men, and don't come from a, let's say top 15% tier, wealthy family.



The book is by Stanley and Danko, who are not affiliated with Fidelity according to their bio. I would recommend at least skimming the book - it details how it is done. Wealthy parents are not required.

The book is going for $2.48 on Amazon. Anyone can afford it. Why not give it a try before dismissing it?


Well, that was an unnecessary snide remark.


Why wouldn't most of those people be white?

As of 1980 - most of those millionaires were born well before that date - the US was nearly 80% white.
