If you won 1 million on the lottery, what would you spend it on?

[Churchill]

Yes but if you use your winnings to promote your business then it will be generally concluded that it was the lottery win that allowed company to succeed.

Oi Numpty!!! If you tick the "No Publicity" box, no-one would know!

How was your "English" grade?

As opposed to say daddy's money, or a rich benefactors .. what's the difference?

Are you trying to suggest something here?

I would know, that's enough: after later success if it comes to light that you won lottery AND kept it secret the it would be even more obvious (even if untrue).

I have to say my school grade for English was not great - at some point I even gone down to C

Yes, that if it helps you succeed it's irrelevant where the funding came from (Unless it's illegally obtained, though that's debatable - in your home country say). IMHO.

Nope.

If you had no idea of what to do in your business then you would use the money to employ the wrong people and pay for the wrong services so you would lose all the money and your business would go under.

If you had idea of what to do in your business then the money would help you.

People like Stelios and Branson came from well off families. They are still looked on as being successful even though they came from wealthy backgrounds.

Well, I think it matters - if rich dad puts young boy as Vice-President of his bank then it will be highly questionable whether the boy achieved it on his own, even if that was the case - that's why if the boy is really bright he should succeed in some other place. And if a pretty girl became Vice-President

I don't like Stelios, but I like Branson - he might come from wealthy family but both are men of their own, I am pretty sure Branson would have made billions even if he was poor - he has got the right attitude.

That's the difference between the Murdochs and Branson/Stellios.
