Another target is a wealthy winery operator here in Napa Valley (though it looks like he lives in the City). Looks like most of these parents are general entitled wealthy people (though I have always enjoyed Huffman’s work, but pissed media is tagging her with Housewives label instead of Sports Night, which obviously has priority).
I checked in with my late 20s daughter and her BF, both Ivy grads who were not smart enough to choose wealthy parents to buy their way in, to find out what they and their friends thought. As I suspected, they lacked the extreme moralized indignation that we have seen from so many of the upper middle class (but not actually upper class) media types have been indulging in. They and their friends mostly shaking their heads, but see this as a minor example of the much more pervasive practice of children of the elite classes getting into Ivy League level schools though legacy, donations and influence rather than ability or hard work.
