I think he's alluding to having family money.

So, even though you try hard to become a pianist, if you don't become famous, you're ok.

A friend of mine did this, he lives in a massive house and just enjoys his music, teaches occasionally.

I think often in families, if a generation is successful with money (for example as engineer or enterpreneur), then next generation often become artists or politicians etc.
