I keep trying to develop the habit of having wealthy parents

If you really cannot manage that, then your second best option is to have a wealthy spouse. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

Bonus bragging points if you're born with a certain ethnicity that has no options but to enter in that niech market because the mainstream ones have high moats around them.
