$200,000 is hardly "rich kid money"...it's just about enough to buy one a sub-average to average single family dwelling outside any major city in America. $2,000,000 given to your child I would say is the minimum that could be described as rich kid money. "Rich kid money" is especially not a description for someone who was able to take that $200,000 and turn it into $300 million...that's about a 150,000 percent return on investment. A snotty rich kid is one who takes $2,000,000, loses it all, and turns it into a tax write-off for Daddy.
