Did any of those self-help/get-rich books had any real impact on you? Or they are all just memes?

They seem an act of mental masturbation on the origin of the awesomeness of author. Insufferable.

They aren't memes, in the sense that many of them directly address basic mental strategies that people don't just know "by default" and usually aren't taught except by parents to their children if the parents are successful. If you dismiss them off-hand, you're likely missing out on things that would make you realize that almost everything you're doing is objectively wrong, a waste of time, or both.
Unfortunately there are trillions of these books and all of them are full of whatever wacky shit the author believes, some part of which is legitimately valuable insight but usually buried in 10x as much pointless bullshit and self-aggrandizing anecdotes.
I don't have any books in particular to recommend because everyone's situation and personality is different, and if you don't have the basic skill of being able to dyor and find what you need when you have google, amazon (and libgen, sci-hub, etc) then that's the first thing to get figured out before you read any self-help books.

What book would you recommend to someone in his early twenties, who have big ambitions to make it?
>situation
I live by myself in a third world country, I'm smarter and more cultured than most people who surround me (speak 3 languages fluently) but still a poorfag because I woke up to improvement a bit late, ans always gave a fuck about studies. Actually I just go out to work and spend my free time at home researching and studying. I have no social life at the moment, not because I can't but I choose to cut normies and uninteresting people out of my life.

You can try Think and Grow Rich if you haven't read it already. It's a product of the early 1900s and is unfortunately very materialistically oriented and contains various pseudoscience, but the author does an excellent job of telling you a story about its core point that gets you excited about it.
Then for the more practical stuff, I would recommend looking through the usual popular books about things like organization and time management (all those books along the lines of Getting Things Done). You don't really need to learn all that stuff in detail but you need to have a consciously worked out system for everything you do that's important to you.
Think and Grow Rich is good for motivation and generating the particular kind of psychosis that makes people extremely successful, and the Getting Things Done type books make sure that you actually have a process and aren't just flailing around.

This. You have to piece together the tried and tested bits from different self help books, biographies, blogs as a substitute if you had shitty parents that taught you nothing beyond basic academia.
Even then that might not help you very much but it's a good start.
