    I’ll say this. Having money just makes it easier to succeed. Usually basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare are accounted for and never need to be thought about. Most people think about bills and healthcare costs at least once a day. Rich people can afford tutors, special schools, personalized attention, coaches, therapists, counselors, etc. That sets them up for success. It takes less effort for rich kids to get to baseline compared to poor kids. So yes, I think rich people have it easier. Also, being related to a celebrity helps. Universities want that clout
