Great points, and I'll add that history shows us that even tremendous family wealth has generally dissipated into the economy by the third generation. It isn't always true, but Paris Hilton is a great example. Her grandfather already said he's going to cut her out of his will. Of course, she's no dummy. She has parlayed a hot body, great looks, the Hilton name, and a sex tape into worldwide fame. Did you know she earns six figures for a night just to appear at parties? Uh-huh.
