Specifically, I was lucky that I was born a white male in the United States in a time of unprecedented prosperity and technical advancement; I was lucky to get out of college during the technology bubble and to join a couple companies that provided a lot of compensation in the form of stock options; I was really lucky that a ten came on the turn when I most needed it to; I was lucky that I was able to get on an earlier flight than the one I had booked; there are a million reasons why I was able to take the skills I had and translate it into a good bit of money...but, a decent amount of it was simply luck.- Btw, I'm hoping to be able to make real estate the third industry where I can make over $1M.
