True.
But I'm guessing the children of successful business people also get, besides the money, a great education on business. More importantly, they probably inherit a great worldview of money/business, which drives them to also try and do great things.
This isn't true in every case, but it's probably true in some cases. I'm guessing any child of a person like Bill Gates might be given the kind of education which pushes him/her to great heights. Should probably check some statistics on this issue.
- bjoernw 16y agoThe problem is that success and money are not the same. There might be a parent that made a lot of money taking stupid risk. The education that the child gets from the parent isn't worth anything and he will have to burn through a lot of money to unlearn the things his parent taught him. Therefore he could use the large inheritance. Even though people are rich doesn't mean they are smart. Survivorship bias
