    Let’s say he really only had a 28 000$ loan (which I doubt), he could still fail monumentally and not be destitute.

    Then, when your parents are filthy rich, they usually have a lot of influencial people in their network.

    If he really only had 28k in a vacuum, maybe that would be a different story. But he had the backing of the gem mine money + the network of his parents.

    Let’s take Bill Gates. When he grew up, he went to a school that had a computer, that he was able to use. It is a big fucking deal at that time. Very few schools had computers, much less gave access to their students.
