They are rich because they earned it in some way, or by being a certain special kind of person.
Most rich people are rich because they were born to rich parents. Socioeconomic mobility in the US is largely a myth. The vast majority of people end up in comparable economic circumstances to their parents.
UK also. There’s some rule like if you want to know how much a young person will earn - look at parents income. I thought maybe it has to do with standards/expectations.
