True, but the inherited wealth class is very, very small. Thomas Stanley makes that clear in all his Millionaire books. I can't remember the percentge of millionaires who inherited their riches, but I believe it was under 20%. The vast majority of the rich created their own wealth and prosperity.

I don't really envy anyone --- not the wealthy who worked for it either --- I've seen very wealthy lose their health at a relatively young age or some that seem to never have found happiness. I'm pretty happy with what I have, I don't really want what the very wealthy have for some reason. To me one of the nice things about being middle class is you can enjoy some wealth and enjoy some poverty.
