>To me, if you get rich, it's probably an awful idea to just give it to your kids, if you care about how they turn out at all.

Besides, Ferrari dealership owners, exotic dancers and cocaine dealers have kids too! They could use some of your money for their support!

Yeah, you could always do that, if philanthropy doesn't tickle your pickle.

How is that not philanthropy?

It's just that you still don't want to hand over the money on a silver platter, it's better for people's character and pride to do some work to get it (e.g. build and sell a Ferrari to you)...
