I mean seriously who thinks being in the top 1% is something america promises every citizen? it takes generations to get there, hence being born in special familial circumstances.

it doesn't though. short of trust funds, $stupid can't fuck this up money, and parents arranging for someone else to manage their finances, you can barely keep old wealth in most of these peoples' hands. people who never worked for what they have tend not to value it. I was top 0.1%+ in my early 20's and although it wasn't inheritance or anything like that, I made some lucky moves and got rich very quickly doing almost nothing. I then proceeded to piss the majority of it away not working and playing video games until I ran out of money and had to work again.
