Imho an intressting development in the completly wrong direction. However it shows the massive problem capitalism has, that it increases capital accumulation within a small group of people. It also is a strong argument against the idea of billionaires having earned their wealth.

    It is actually.

    It used to be that the rate at which families rose and fell was such new money was the majority of rich people as most lost their wealth in a few generations.

    The interesting implication of this to me is that it means rich people are going to be fighting each other more. As less new wealth pools in they’ll squabble at greater rates to access their families wealth.

    Hopefully we see more trust fund babies murdering their parents going forward.
