I don't think we'd say they became billionaires through index funds, we'd say they became billionaires by inheritance or by growing a business.

For how many billionaire's does that happen to be true?

If that's true for nobody than comparing Trump to nobody doesn't make much sense.

That's the same question you asked 5 comments upthread from this one. Apparently you found my answer unsatisfactory since you just asked (what I now understand to be) the exact same question again, but unless you care to indicate what was unsatisfactory about it I'm not sure what to say that I haven't already.
