Picking Schumacher, Einstein, others seems unfair as they were godlike, despite competition catching up and there are limited prime years for mathematicians/athletes.

Luckey's a smart guy who would easily be on his way to millions, but got "lucky" into billions. Look closer. He committed IP theft for the tech he/Carmack sold to Facebook. He only had to pay a $50M fine in return for +$500M buyout/earnout. He's extra "lucky" because the fines and sanctions could've been a lot worse.
