Wow! Juan knows how to raise 6 kids on $30 thousand a year! His wife is rich, right?
Your teacher asked an unanswerable question to try to get you to think about what true success is. Is it making a lot of money, or having a lot of love?
Juan is obviously more successful at making love (we infer from the evidence of 6 childen).
Jose is more successful at making money (we infer from his "earnings" of $5 million a year).
Question: Does anyone really EARN $5 million a year or do they just collect on their investments? How do earnings like this compare to the wages that amount to $30k per year?
Hmmmm....I might have guessed your teacher's next lesson. What course is this for?

It would depend on what you deem as successful? Monetry or well being?
I hate judging a book by it's cover so I'd need to know the whole story before making a judgement :)
Cheers!

You can't measure success in kids.

Neither if they don't have a wife to share raising a family with.
