The hosed up part isnt that he was rich. The hosed up part is that our idiot parents were so stupid that they viewed Bill Gates' family as "an equal, maybe a year or so farther ahead the millionaire track than us, but we'll catch up so it's no big deal"

Hovercraft posted:bill gates had a trust fund worth millions when he dropped out of harvard because his dad was one of the richest lawyers in the state because his grandfather owned some banks also what's messed up about this is didn't bill say he'd never give his children his wealth because his parents never did? like they'd actually have to work hard to get somewhere?

that's just a "stay on your toes, boy, don't go off dressing up in a skirt and sucking dicks because you're bored" warning. none of those children will ever want or struggle
