Yes but the point is that this stretches back as far as politics itself; this sort of wealth is about "who you know" or "who you are related to" but a presence in politics is required to keep the pot full (or growing) generation upon generation. You're not guaranteed to be rich if those in power don't have an interest in keeping you rich. To "tweak" things to ensure that none of that wealth is redistributed.
