I know privileged and smart 30 year olds for whom getting a real job or moving out of the house would be a major major accomplishment. This girl was 10.

Writing off her accomplishments due to privilege is unfair.

I think ungiven credit is also probably due to the parents, though I'm not writing off anything she accomplished.

You know sons and daughters of multi-milionairs having problem finding a job and moving out of the house?

I know several, in fact. It's fairly common result of rich parents spoiling their kids.

Agreed. Even here in the good old Bay Area there are quite a few trust fund kids with zero work ethic, little motivation and no desire to ever work because their parents will let them ride the money indefinitely. Very sad.
