It cites statistics, and actually says that there are X millionaire lawyers, and X+Y plumbers? It isn’t just giving a lot of anecdotes?
I would be very surprised to hear that, because it implies that one is substantially more likely to become a millionaire by plumbing than by lawyering, since there are ~500,000 plumbers in the US and >1.1million lawyers.

According to wikipedia it (1) generally cites statistics and (2) says that doctors, lawyers, and accountants save a much lower proportion of money than other occupations. google books says that it doesn’t mention plumbers at all.
I would guess that pretty much all lawyers permanently employed at BIGLAW are millionaires and pretty much no other lawyers are; but that’s probably enough to beat plumbers. I think the other lawyers have a similar income distribution to plumbers.
