How is, conditional on a 120 IQ and decent health, a path of Minimum wage jobs + Community College+State school (pre med) + med school +Physician at a hospital not “grinding” and being a “self made” millionaire? There is no luck or risk needed, just IQ which op you granted, as well as hard work. If you are saying that it was lucky someone stayed healthy for so long, well that’s never been what the arguments regarding self made millionaires have been over.
There is no such thing as a "self-made millionaire"

Millionaire is not much of an accomplishment though. You’re not rich until you have $100 million these days.

Lo zers can't envisage a path to wealth
Truth is every year in large companies, many people are earning big by increasing the bottom line of the company
Starting from scratch is hard but it's still very much possible
Just look at the books of public companies (companieshouse in UK).. many new ones with legitimate business ideas

Cut the crap right now. Stop trying to sucker each other with this nonsense and make each other feel bad or sell your hometown. This is the truth. If you are not born into the precisely right circumstances and also make exceptionally lucky choices, your chances at becoming a rags-to-riches millionaire are somewhere between zero and nil. It's not that it takes a lot of work, a high IQ and a pile of charisma. You just don't get a chance. You're never going to teach yourself skills, start your own company, and become rich from "grinding". You can't do it. No one has ever done it, because no one can do that. Now throw away the modern mythology and give up the fantasy of the self-made millionaire. The only people you are fooling are desperate people who will only suffer more from the belief. And yourself too.
