One interesting counter data point is that 70% of billionaires are self made. No small loan of a million dollars from daddy for them.

The report you're referring to counts anyone who didn't directly inherit their wealth as "self-made". For example, it counts Zuckerberg and Bezos as self-made, despite both of them receiving substantial amounts of money from their wealthy parents when starting their respective companies.
