[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because working sucks for the vast majority of people so why would anyone want to force their family into working if they don't have to?

Is this a serious question? Is there really anyone out there so stupid they can't figure out this incredibly obvious answer?[/quote]

Working a 9-5 job where you have little agency sucks...but the vast majority of even very wealthy children work.  Very few just spend their lives as Philanthropists or Social Media Influencers or other "fake" jobs that they tell people at cocktail parties.

Now, they may run the family business or have some other job where they basically have complete agency over their lives.

Bill Gates' daughter is a physician working in a hospital.  Supposedly, Gates will only leave his kids $10MM each (not sure if he is still abiding by that).

Well, idk what is in her inheritance but the daughter who is a doctor spends multiple millions a year on horses. And has for a long time. Maybe it's her mom, I don't know and I don't care, but I can't imagine it's "spend millions on horses every year until I die" and then what, it all gets auctioned?[/quote]

She's married to someone in the same stratosphere as her financially--he's also into horses.

But fact is she's accomplished a lot being a doctor, and you don't get there without being smart and qualified [/quote]
