Jeff Bezos

>Bezos is the maternal grandson of Lawrence Preston Gise, a regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Albuquerque.[10] Gise retired early to his family's ranch near Cotulla, Texas, where Bezos would spend many summers in his youth.[8] Bezos would later purchase this ranch, and grow it from 25,000 acres (101 km2; 39 sq mi) to 300,000 acres
>After Bezos graduated from Princeton in 1987, he was offered jobs at Intel, Bell Labs, and Andersen Consulting, among others.

He was never going to be poor. His family had a 25k acre ranch, they were loaded, he went to Princeton.

>Million dollar trust fund
>At 13, he enrolled in the Lakeside School, a private preparatory school

In 1980, she discussed her son's company with John Opel, a fellow committee member and the chairman of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Opel, by some accounts, mentioned Mrs. Gates to other IBM executives. A few weeks later, IBM took a chance by hiring Microsoft, then a small software firm, to develop an operating system for its first personal computer.

His mother sat in on board meetings with IBM which is what gave Gates the idea of an OS

>He grew up in the suburb of Mount Lebanon, in a Jewish "working-class" family. His paternal grandfather changed the family name from "Chabenisky" to "Cuban" after his family emigrated from Russia through Ellis Island. His maternal grandparents, who were also Jewish, came from Romania. Cuban's first step into the business world occurred at age 12, when he sold garbage bags to pay for a pair of expensive basketball shoes. At age 16, Cuban took advantage of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
So basically he was a scab kike opportunist who used his bar mitzvah money to steal from goyim. lol

There is a consistent pattern with most all the examples here , either they had pre existing connections to elites or they were elevated by a faction of elites as a part of a social or political strategy they were undertaking .
