The article opens by calling him a drop-out, which has very negative connotations in English. I note that the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs articles do not open this way despite both of them being drop-outs too. I expect I could find a large number of articles on entrepreneurs and inventors who left formal education but are not called drop-outs in the introduction to their articles.
