For the most part, it's a rhetorical question. But there's a massive trend of people born wealthy to attribute their success to hard work, rather than giving any credit to the fact that they had a massive safety net if they failed at their ventures. Every billionaire was born a millionaire. Taylor Swift had a huge amount of support, both financial and emotional, from her parents. Her parents weren't millionaires, but they were decently well off, enough that they could move her to Nashville just to help put her career on a launch pad. She's extremely talented, but talent alone is extremely unlikely to be enough. You have to be able to meet the right people at the right time in the right place. All that together takes money and flexibility, which aren't things you earn by just working super hard.
