Maybe if they were able to put superior genes in their offspring they'd be able to move that metric.

That implies that it has to do with genes in the first place. Perhaps there's an argument there. However, I would also consider that the size of an estate may grow, but not exponentially (at least not indefinitely). Yet, the size of a family tree does grow exponentially.

You are assuming all is in the genes.

I assume that at least part of it is in the genes.
