depends on your definition of "success"... one possible definition might be achieving more than your peers?
all your family/friends/etc make $10k/year, getting to a level that they would consider "success", lets say $100k/year is very doable...
all your family/friends/etc make $10M/year, going to $100M/year is equally or perhaps even more difficult to achieve...
I would guess higher percentage go from 10k->100k, then 10M->$100M
