It's probably as unlikely that you would nowadays become as rich and famous as Bill Gates, as it was unlikely in the 17th century that you would accede to the ranks of the French aristocracy.
Tänapäeval on ilmselt sama ebatõenäoline, et sa saad sama rikkaks ja kuulsaks nagu Bill Gates, kui oli ebatõenäoline 17. sajandil, et sa pääsed Prantsuse aristokraatide sekka.
