I'd much rather the children of wealthy families went into research or the arts - as long as they are not bad at what they do and displace more talented people by being connected - rather than they go into finance or management and make more money. IANARK (rich kid) but I imagine they see how unfulfilling the money chase is growing up and choose other paths. Which is good for them and good for society. I bet this is part of the "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" dynamic.
