Only if your daddy is a high-powered Intellectual Property lawyer and your mommy sits on the board of the United Way right next to an IBM Vice-President.
Then after mommy cuts a deal for you to sell your product to IBM and daddy writes up the contract for you, yeah, then you get the big bucks.

While I don't begrudge him his fortune, he was born very well connected. It's not as if he was the illegitimate son of a 3rd shift convenience store clerk and a Somali wet nurse.
