>This is a fair point, but in many cases you need to be rich, hard working, and smart.
Like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardasian, etc.? No, rich is still the only requirement. Those other things just give you more options.

The only requirement for what? Financial success? Celebrity?
Seems your example only applies to a very narrow demographic: wealthy socialites. Does it apply to doctors, lawyers and software engineers? How often does it apply and how often does it not?
I think these nuances are important to answer before generalizing.

For every person you cite as being wildly successful only because of the money they were born into, you could also cite people who came from nothing and became multi-millionaires. Or people who were born rich and didn't succeed.
You're not wrong - there are people who only needed to be rich to begin with. But giving examples like you have doesn't counter the above point.
