Absolutely anecdata: all of the NGO workers I've met were "spoiled rich youngsters" wanting to get meaning in their lives. Then most NGOs seem do more harm than good IMO, particularly the bigger the badder (local support associations and organisations are almost always fine OTOH).

When I interviewed for my first NGO job, I was warned that most staff had trust fund income. I didn't. And eventually got tired of being poor.

This also describes most "terrorist leaders". Being born rich distorts your worldview.
