don't fall into the trap of limiting the argument to inheritance, there are far more benefits to being born into a wealthy family.

Agreed. Let's include family benefits in inheritance. What is the percentage of Billionaires that inherited/were born in wealthy families compared to the completely self - made ones, and I think we should nuance that with the time they became wealthy as it feels like many made it recently, as suggested by the fact that a new billionaire was minted every 17 hours in 2021.
