Joaquin Phoenix's Napoleon biopic has the tagline line, "He Came From Nothing. He Conquered Everything." Unsure if conquering around 2% of Earth's land mass is "everything"? I remember being in France where I heard the view on the origins of Bonapartes/Buonapartes as just Corsican peasants. Maybe compared to the Bourbons, Habsburgs, Romanovs, etc, but to me at least he seems to have had a relatively privileged background so it is right to state he came from "nothing"? Maybe being too literal?
Well, there is a certain Eurocentric bias when it comes to Napoleon and similar conquerors, because there haven't been that many people who've actually held all of Europe. (Also, I'd point out that the whole rationale for Jacobin meritocrcy was that even a Corsican peasant could rise to whatever position their talents allowed them.)
That being said, it seems like a perfectly cromulent marketing tagline for a general audience that doesn't know from Napoleon. It reminds me of the opening to the LIberator from 2014:

After years of Greek, Roman and Byzantine histories, both in Podcast and Books, I took a step forward in time to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast.
After 6 months of listening to the English, American, French, Spanish ReConquista of South America, Haitian and Mexican Revolutions, I have popped out bleary eyed and squinting into the 20th century’s 1920s.
I still have the Russian Revolution to go (and a few odd Cold War books) but I find myself missing the Ancient World.

But saving Bolívar’s life multiple times wasn’t the only thing that made Manuela Sáenz extraordinary. Sáenz defied societal convention. She was a spy. She protested for women’s rights. She wore a custom-made Colombian colonel’s uniform. She threw fantastic parties, loved dogs, and maybe even had a pet bear. In a letter, Bolívar referred to his favorite mistress as “that gentle, crazy woman” and eventually gave her an official government position as his archivist.
