Can you tell me 10 of these billionaires that came from poverty?
Some might be sports or movies or such but what about others.

What about the people who lost jobs but can't do the new ones?
A person making cars for 40 years to be replaced by robots can't just change; they might be too old.

More a general thing but no specifics.
