It’s like the old craft system. A cobblers son was most likely to be a cobbler because they grew up around the skills tools and equipment. If a parent has a high level of skill and resources it’s way easier to teach it to a kid for a kid and for them to succeed.
I mean I would loved to have a parent in a position to help fund and guide my first business venture like that kids has.
There’s a difference between skills based on practice and exposure because of your prarents, and then merely fact that your parents are rich and famous. I don’t blame the kid for taking advantage of the opportunity they got, no worries there. At the same time, it’s not a level playing field, so we should not pretend it is.
Life isn’t even close to a level playing field. The family you are born into had the greatest effect on your future success than nearly any other factor.
I mean likely.
I live in a better school district than most and have time to spend to help my kids with homework. I usually attribute all kid success to kid efforts. Don’t foresee myself as an adult going full narcissist and claiming credit,even partial, for the kid success.
It would be up to them to publicly acknowledge what they had other didn’t. Otherwise it’s kneecapping their achievements.
In her son’s case it’s going beyond that. She didn’t just encourage him to be an actor, use her connections to get him singing and acting lessons and get him in the door for auditions.
She herself got a movie made for him. You know she didn’t do rounds of interviews and decide at the end that her son was the best fit for the part. She set out to make a movie for him.
I mean it’s true. She doesn’t like hearing it.

If I was successful, I would do that for my kids.
My parents and grandparents taught me how to go bankrupt…
Step 1: Mortgage inherited assets to follow the latest fad.
Step 2: Make no profit but spend tons money.
Step 3: Accept government handouts right and left but still lose money.
Step 4: Go bankrupt and lose everything you inherited.
Step 5: Blame everyone else for your own stupidity. Extra emphasis on people with darker skin color.

Would you then deny that your kid has a leg up on others if you did do all that?
