My thoughts exactly. This isn't some generations-long dynasty, with a genius at the top and buffoons all the way down. This kid is literally one generation removed from the guy who made all the money. Even with an Elizabeth Warren-style wealth tax, there is no way that someone who grew up the son of a billionaire would not himself be very, very wealthy (unless his parents cut him off entirely).
