Ben, of course, is right about that.

Most people envy the situation and don’t see it as a disadvantage, but far too many billionaire offspring end up as miserable, druggy do- and know-nothings—as well as politically addlepated.

Unless there is an evidence to show that the kids of “billionaires and millionaires” are more prone to bad behavior than the lower/poor classes, it is just selection bias. And plain class warfare.

Anecdotally, I must agree! Having dated, socialized with, and managed an, admittedly, small number of rich individuals (including multimillionaire "Trust Fund Babies"), I found the vast majority to be vacuous, lacking in empathy and, generally unhappy people!
