So Musk whose father owned diamond mines is not an heir. Arnault whose father owned Ferret-Savinel is not an heir. Gates father was a prominent lawyer, his mother was an heiress who was on a board with the chairman of IBM. Even looking at those who are not classified as heirs - Zuckerberg's high school currently costs over $50,000 a year. Buffett's father was a congressman and his family owned grocery stores. Not billionaires, but people with more wealth and connections then even our minority of upper middle class people.
