In my experience, networking has very little to do with luck.

Sometimes it does. My last two jobs were got through 'networking' - I
just happened to meet the right people. One was a member of the flying
club. The other the CFI of the glider club. It just so happened I was
the person they were looking for.

Never underestimate the power of 'networking'.

But as for much of my fortunes - yes, they are mostly the product of
luck. I didn't have any control over my birth - it was certainly
fortunate that being born into a middle class British family means I was
born into the world's richest 10%. The vast majority of the world
doesn't have it anywhere as easy.
