There’s a long-observed maxim that the 4th generation offspring of wealthy circumstances are of substandard grit, not at all like the pathfinders of their lineage.
But of course there are exceptions.
The Trump family never allows a family member to live in idleness, they all work, they all work very hard. To listen to them, for example Eric Trump talk about construction, finishing, decoration, contracts, deal-making, one can see his father but those that know and see DJT also see DJT’s father Fred who made young Donald work under all the trades and to never have downtime on weekends except for Church where he would listen to the famous pastor Norman Vincent Peale.
But in general, you make a good point. Because even if the generations of the wealthy are not of the same grit as the members upstream of the lineage, the members who came into the wealth initially, they manage to hold onto their wealth because the principal heads saw fit to appoint lawyers, executors, and wealth managers to maintain the family fortune.
