Well, he got it from working at the railroad at such a young age. He most likely had a number of mentors there.
You call him individualistic yet you mentioned "friends" and "business partners". And somewhere along the line other people worked for him and made him the success he was.
No one climbed their way to the top on their own without the help of others.

Duh...You mean people actually gather experience as they grow up? Wow! I didn't know that!
So again...why aren't you and 99% of the people on GFY millionaires? You all have "friends" and "business partners" right? Or were inspired by someone (or as the media and you are calling it: a "mentor" lol)
Show me the money baby!
Not trying to bust your balls. but I just gave you a real life story of my grandfather being his own man and building an empire through his own work ethic and with no govt. help...matter of fact the govt. was always a hindrance to him. And you are still trying to tell me he needed "help".
Whatever.
I was there.
I say "no" he didn't need any help from anybody.
If he wasn't just a little bit smarter, faster, and more badass than everyone around him he would have just been another worker bee...like the majority of people are.
We are not all alike. Most people are lazy and unambitious. That's just the truth. You know it...you've seen it in your life I'm sure. And yet you found yourself excelling while others did not. There is a reason for that. And it ain't the govt.
It's you.
