Whoops. Dexen got it. I mean, if you take the same set of criteria as before, less the requirement that they be a successful entrepreneur, what percentage of that larger group is married and with children? Without knowing that figure, the statement "60% of successful entrepreneurs are married and have kids" does not tell the story this (misleading, in my opinion) headline wants to tell you.

I do not mean "what percentage of the population is around 40, educated, and married with children?"
