You can also explore things you're terrible at. Just being able to afford to do them and promote yourself gives you a huge advantage over other people in those fields.
There are a lot of these people in the arts. Some are quite well known.
This kind of inherited wealth is hugely distorting emotionally and psychologically. In fact any significant fame is, because you lose touch with ordinary concerns. You're more likely to surround yourself with yes people - not just because they fluff you, but because they feel like a known and (somewhat) trustworthy quantity.
When there are huge numbers involved you can only really spend time with people who have similar resources.
This complete disconnect is incredibly corrosive.
