His family goes back (as being extremely, extremely wealthy) to AT LEAST the 1600's, he might as well be of royal lineage, so to be frank we have absolutely no idea who he is or isn't as an individual, and no idea what he would be doing if he'd actually had to fight for one iota of it. Maybe he would still be successful? Sure. But I'm hesitant to heap much praise on someone who had the guarantee of a successful life from the second of their conception. It's not impressive. It's just "a thing that is". To be a little bit scathing, all things considered he's actually only "doing OK" thus far, and a lot of his political celebrity is down to little more than the quirky name and the impossibly posh accent. If he was called "Robert Smith" and looked like Gordon Brown, no one would be interested
