I met someone who was as humble as apple pie, training to become a cancer surgeon. Seeing her, you couldn't have guessed that she was descended from some of the erstwhile most powerful nobility in Europe (including relations to a bunch of royalty today). But then again, while she got that far through a lot of merit on her own terms, she was amply supported in many ways by coming from a very wealthy background (eg: no need to work part time to support herself unlike most college kids, visit home very often, etc).
