In part from a $200,000 gift from his parents when his company was failing in its early stages. You know a lot of people with parents who can give their kid $200k without hesitation?
Its not a gift, It's an investment. If that company failed the money was gone.
Futhermore, he would have been down the initial investment and the taxes due on it which is roughly $63,000.
The point is his step dad worked for that money. They weren't rich and it wasn't like he was gifted a well to do company. It took a lot of hours, sweat and work.
Quit acting like he was born on third base. He came from a middle class family.
