Some of the richest people I've ever met have middle class or upper-middle class appearances. They do make good decisions, have good jobs, etc. We see some evidence in studies that wealthly grandparents are strong indicators of wealthly adult grandchildren. We also know that poor habits deplete wealth quickly (like with lotto winners). It seems reasonable at least some wealthy people have good habits and that at least some of the children adopt those habits and manage to at least protect the existing wealth.

- giantg2 3y agoYeah, the ones I've seen have looked at things like even what type of assest the wealth is in (liquid, securities, land, etc). The type of wealth can be a factor in how well the wealth is remained.

- giantg2 3y agoNothing in my comment was about survival in poverty. However, their ability to live within their means seems indicative that they have the discipline that they might be able do it. In fact, most people can survive in poverty - what other choice do they have?
