it's all chance and the system self corrects in 3 generations usually. only family that did it smart is the one with that crazy trust fund setup

most powerful families end up like that dude who works at CNN losing 99% of their wealth and 100% of their power

The proverb “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” is a translation of a Scottish proverb and other similar sayings from around the world. It's often attributed to Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish-born American industrialist, but it doesn't appear in his writings.
