in 2003, jamie johnson (one of the young heirs of the j&j fortune) made a doc called "born rich", about being born into wealth.
it's actually a very interesting documentary that includes interviews with some of his fellow "born rich" friends (including a young ivanka, who's actually very thoughtful).
i don't know anything about that world, so i wouldn't even know about the pressures that come with it. the main impression i got is that a young person born into a wealthy family is sort of trapped by it. they are aware that the family's $ is more important than they are, and that if they fuck up, the money will be cut off.
like many people, i've often wondered why rich people don't just share a bit more, but the impression i get is that in their world, if you're a "flight risk", you won't get anywhere near family money. your sibling (or cousin or whoever) who *wants* to keep things in the family will position themselves to ensure that they do.
anyway, i'm not saying "poor little rich kid", but this documentary definitely helped me see how even "young richies with a conscience of any kind" are in a much more complicated situation than it might seem from the outside.
in other words, keep sharpening your guillotines, comrades, because there will be no "persuading the richies to part with some of their wealth".
