No, those kids can't have whatever they have if they're under 13, 14 or 18, depending on what it is that they have.

They can.. if one of the following is true:

1. Their parents are doing exceptionally bad job 2. Their parents are doing exceptionally good job

Sadly, there is no way to tell, because not all kids are created equal. I know my parents had to basically remove our PC from our home ( how many parents have that option today? ) to put me and my siblings in line.

Unfortunately, this only adds to the problem, because bad parents tend to think they are great and vice-versa.
