Seems like the conclusion of the article ends up admitting luck plays a large role. From the article you linked: "It is important to note that this research can not explain why a particular individual does well or poorly financially. Luck, timing, parents, choice of spouse and many other factors play important roles in shaping an individual's circumstances."
