Are stepkids of super wealthy people kind of rich by extension?

  Does it make a person rich if they’re given a lot of money? Yes.

  I’m a stepfather, and any step parent that treats biological kids differently than step kids is a piece of shit.

    In OP’s defense, a lot of super wealthy people are pieces of shit, so this seems like a reasonable question.

      Yeah, but that’s more of a case by case situation.

  I mean, “rich kids” itself is kind of just an extension of what they are allowed to have, and what is officially considered their possesions. I think biological vs step is a meaningless extension. Say you are one of Elon Musks huge wave of kids, you are as rich as whatever payoffs he gave the mother, provided the mother actually spends it on you. Or one of the russian hookers or whatever the heck gates was up to you may very well be poor as hell.

  You can have rich parents that you stay with, but they spend less on you than your average barely making ends meet family.

  I know of a wealthy family who own a mid-sized company and referred to a second wife of one brother as a “newcomer” for close to 20 years. They did everything in their power to minimize the wealth she and her kids got when he tragically died.

  They were still pretty well-off, but not super wealthy. There can be really complicated dynamics around family money, so it could go either way.

  Do the kids get shoveled away somewhere when thier parents married?
