If I remember the book properly, all of the major characters in Atlas Shrugs were rich. Some created their wealth by hard work, some by political connections, others by inheritance.It is what they did with that wealth that shaped their character.

Two characters, Dagny and Francisco, were blue bloods but most worked for their wealth. John Galt worked for a few years as an automotive engineer then as a railroad laborer.
