Assuming of course the stepparent gives them a trust fund or something.
Does it make a person rich if they’re given a lot of money? Yes.
I mean, “rich kids” itself is kind of just an extension of what they are allowed to have, and what is officially considered their possesions. I think biological vs step is a meaningless extension. Say you are one of Elon Musks huge wave of kids, you are as rich as whatever payoffs he gave the mother, provided the mother actually spends it on you. Or one of the russian hookers or whatever the heck gates was up to you may very well be poor as hell.
You can have rich parents that you stay with, but they spend less on you than your average barely making ends meet family.
Are stepkids of super wealthy people kind of rich by extension?
Assuming of course the stepparent gives them a trust fund or something.
if someone gives you a trust fund, you are not “rich by extension”, you are rich (assuming there is actually something of a value in that trust fund…). wtf kind of question is that?
I think the question is actually about something more than money. There’s definitely some kind of caste system in place, and being rich is just what it looks like to the outside.
I’m a stepfather, and any step parent that treats biological kids differently than step kids is a piece of shit.
In OP’s defense, a lot of super wealthy people are pieces of shit, so this seems like a reasonable question.
Yeah, but that’s more of a case by case situation.
Is it though?
Eat the rich and other jokes aside, of course it is.
I don’t know; I’d say with the ultra-rich (we’re talking beyond millions), it’s by default guilty until proven innocent by that point…
I know of a wealthy family who own a mid-sized company and referred to a second wife of one brother as a “newcomer” for close to 20 years. They did everything in their power to minimize the wealth she and her kids got when he tragically died.
They were still pretty well-off, but not super wealthy. There can be really complicated dynamics around family money, so it could go either way.
Do the kids get shoveled away somewhere when thier parents married?
