You don't become a billionaire by pure luck though, you need to seek out situations that could make you rich and then you need to get incredibly lucky (unless you are born into money of course).
Being the type of person that seeks out becoming that rich is going to have to do it at the expense of others.
It's true, if you don't play you can't win. That being said, if you go through these people's life stories they come across as very similar to the legions of entrepreneurs that didn't strike it big.
Maybe what you're saying is that everyone who's tried to make big money is a bastard. I guess you could do that, but that's not really the impression I've gotten of the startup dorks I've met.
