Some highly successful people have lots of children.

But Elon Musk is a little bit too rich to make his decisions on partners and kids based on whether some poorer billionaire offers a stipend. My point is upper middle classes intellectuals won't be interested trading those decisions for the money either

Yeah, the billionaire stipend idea isn't realistic. I assume it wasn't supposed to be.

Seems to me that the upper middle class is motivated at least as much by prestige as they are by money, family, or anything else.
