Ulic actually has a point.

Among all the billionaires out there, many (I'd say the majority) of them had at least a millionaire dad. Yet still, it takes incredible amount of talent and work to go from million to billion and not many are capable of doing that.

You see all the rich asian dude/chicks here in Van, they most likely have a millionaire dad. But how many will actually develop further into billionaires? probably none. And their parents probably don't expect them to be either. They just want to give the best to their children and let them do whatever they couldn't do when growing up. And that's totally ok IMHO.

It comes down to mentality really. For all the Rothchilds and even Kennedys, they were taught to continue to expand their wealth given their resources, and many of them were very successful at that. For the rich chinese in van? their parents probably just want them to enjoy life and live whatever life they want as their parents weren't able to do that growing up.

Then there is another type, from which is kinda common in Western families is that they have a millionaire dad, but the parents only give their kids enough to go and make themselves a millionaire too (go to good schools, stick with a good profession... etc). And that's just another way of thinking.
