There are loads from Jamie Oliver, Alex Chesterman and Simon Cowell to "unknowns" like Peter Cashmore and the Housers.
Some got lucky, others had mentors some did it by sheer hard work, quite a lot started with nowt. Not everyone is cut out to risk everything but the opportunities are there is you want to grab them. But importantly there are chances for people to make a smaller amount and live well, as others have said some want it all right away without putting in the effort.

I took that to be an example rather than a statement of her situation.
