I think it is very tricky for rich, famous people to raise an only child and not have him turn out very spoiled. (I'm NOT criticizing only children, or even rich only children; just asserting that parents’ job raising an only child presents challenges.)

As an only child and parent of an only (adopted) child, I would concur. The greatest challenge is in practicing and teaching self-restraint.
