However, it can make more options available to people who want to take opportunities to improve themselves (ie. it can pay for international travel, or university education, or personal trainers, etc)... if they want to take em. A lot of rich people tend to just kind of waste time and grow moss on their brains; I don't anticipate Paris Hilton applying herself to get her MBA any time soon.
I've met more than one person with serious coin that couldn't have "class" beaten into them with a stick, no matter how pricey that stick happened to be. Chances are, you have too.
