Yeah, a lot of these “I started from nothing” entrepreneurs are full of chit.

Many of them started from a solidly middle or upper middle class upbringing and deluded themselves into thinking it was nothing because they’re so rich now by comparison. In reality, anyone who actually grew up in poverty would’ve considered their middle class lifestyle rich.

I’ve heard Mark Cuban make similar claims even though he grew up in an affluent suburb of Pittsburgh. His struggle stories are almost always related to being broke in college. Except, you’re not really broke when your parents are paying for your dorm and whatever else you need you can just ask. If he was truly broke he wouldn’t have even been attending college.

Maybe what he meant was they literally had rupees and they needed to exchange them for dollars

Cuckservatives always have to play the bootstrap role.

All part of the play.

Seems mathematically impossible to arrive with no money at all.

If you were that broke, why travel half way around the world with your wife and kids? Seems foolish.

You always hear these stories about migrants on the southern border too where they had to pay some coyote like 5k to help get across the border. Like what impoverished person in guatemala has that kind of money? If they did they would just stay there and live a decent life.

****** is frauding hard as fuk.

His dad is a Brahmin, which is the top of the Indian caste system. Those guys are usually wealthy.

On top of that, he graduated from NIT Calcutta. It's not the Stanford of Indian engineering schools, but it's about like the Georgia Tech. Quality undergrad program.

Then Dad came to the US for grad school, where he was probably paid a (small) research stipend. And once he finished his graduate degree, he pretty much had a middle class job set up.

It wasn't like Dad was some fukking wetback coming to the US with nothing. He was a well-bred, well-educated kid invited to the country for a mogger STEM education.
