An important moment in the Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday night came when surging candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pointed to marriage and family as a key driver of success in life.
Ramaswamy has succeeded in the private sector at the young age of 38 — his net worth is estimated to be as high as $1 billion. That’s a remarkable feat considering his immigrant parents came to the shores of the United States with virtually nothing four decades ago. During the debate, Ramaswamy credited the groundwork for his success to two things: being raised in a two-parent family and getting a good education.
