Born Rich is meaningless. Someone born to a family that has a few million tucked away has a big advantage over poor people but that kind of advantage usually gets squandered away within a couple generations or less. The market self-corrects for that sort of thing.
Born WEALTHY on the other hand is something entirely different. I'd bet you not a single person on GFY was born wealthy and other than one or two, not a single person on GFY has any chance of having their children born wealthy. When someone is born with a trustfund of a few hundred million... that doesn't ever go away. Decendents of railroad tycoons, banking vultures and oil titans, even several generations later are all playing by a very different set of rules.
Stop thinking people like Minte and people like the OP are so different. The gap between them may be large but it is tiny when compared to the gap between either of them and NFL Team owners. Millionaires and the poor are both being abused by Billionaires and yet they still think they so different from each other. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
