I take a different view - that most of the rich have inherited money, or family wealth or at least security. Meaning they can mess up a few times and it is not a big deal.

That is the "luck" they normally have - the ability to have lost a million on unsuccessful deals, and still be able to carry on.

I think the US and the UK are remarkably similar in this.
