Jealous?

We don't do any of that--our kid's function completely on their own--the one out of college lives in a place they can afford completely on their own and manages their life completely on their own, save a few questions that most young adults have in new to them situations (ie learning to navigate their health insurance and car maintenance, etc.)

But when you are worth $50M+, it's financially smart to start gifting while you are still alive.  So when they hit the point of wanting to purchase (4-5 years out of college), we will ensure they have a nice place, yes nicer than they would on their own.  Why not...we cannot take the money with us. It is possible for rich kids to be fully functioning adults, in fact majority of them are just that, just with a few perks of knowing they can take more risks because they have a secure system in place to fall back on.
