Maybe this is what you meant by "circumstance", but the attribute rich (1%) people have that correlates the strongest statistically speaking is that their parents were rich.
IOW, if you are in the top 1% income-earning in the US, the thing about you and all your fellow 1 per centers that is most in common is that you had rich parents. Intelligence, education, effort, and talent matter. But not as much as luck.
