Indeed, on average, people who drop out of school and have brilliant ideas will achieve success with their own creations. However, in supporting their efforts, we as ordinary people should also remember to check on their family and their circumstances when they dropped out. Furthermore, Mark Zuckerberg himself has a wife who strongly supports his ideas, allowing him to continue developing relentlessly despite having to forgo a degree at such a young age. Another similar example is Bill Gates, who also lacked a degree but achieved success and became one of the richest people in the world after his product was widely accepted.
That vastly depends on where you are from. You can't come up with rich born guys from California who are grown up under decent conditions and who have access to sufficient capital once they have a great idea. These guys had it all already when they dropped out. It's not like they left high school and then became rich, they have been the Harvard and Standford guys by the time they decided to drop one privilege in order to benefit from another privilege.
I think to a certain degree the majority of people is poor because the minority of people is rich. I am not a socialist and I think capitalism has its benefits and those who work hard should be able to earn and own more than others. But equality of chances is too decisive regarding a person's future in my eyes. If you are born in one of the poorest places on this planet while you have one of the best minds, creativity or intelligence, you most likely still end up dying poor.
