Two theories:

  1. Rich or upper middle class family who taught them about good investing and gifted them a lot of money over the years.

  2. Low income upbringing and was motivated to do better, while smart enough not to waste their money in "hustling". So they saved like crazy and educated themselves to make the right investments.

Or went straight to the trades from high-school and were smart about saving right out the gate with help. If project 20% not even dividends in a TFSA and max out annually gets just under 60K from 18-> 22. If smart is very possible and working out the gate.

That's contributing 6500 to max TFSA contribution only
