The odds are stacked against both in those scenarios. Some janitors kid is unlikely to execute on good ideas, as he has nothing to fall back on if things go wrong, so he is unlikely to take the risk in the first place.
Meanwhile, some millionaire's kid is also unlikely to end up broke even if they criminally mismanage (see current POTUS as a prime example)

>lobotomize ultra high IQ children
Who said anything about high IQ? You think kids who inherit their parent's money have high IQs?
>However, some janitor’s kid could become a millionaire if he can execute on good ideas.
He could win the lottery too.
>Some milkionaire’s kid
Freudian slip.
>what someone else has doesn’t affect you.
Maybe so, maybe not, but if I have something a rich kid wants, like say a software idea, they can easily ruin me through lawsuits.
>can become broke if she doesn’t manage the money well.
Yes, but I'll bet bad choices from a millionaire's kid has a less likelihood of ruin than bad choices from a janitor's kid.
Stop being jealous— what someone else has doesn’t affect you. You can still create your own wealth.
