Yep. They start from a position that most of us can't even dream of achieving.
Most of us don't even realize what being truly wealthy is like. I come from an affluent family. I never had to worry about necessities, had a decent education at the high school level to secure scholarships at good universities. But there are people who don't need to care about anything at all. They can just get any degree with minimal work, inherit the family business, and have someone else run it for them. On the other hand, I've known people who had to drop college or had to go worse colleges since they couldn't afford the fees (I'm not from US, college is not even that expensive here, still some can't afford it). The wealth inequality makes me feel nauseous.
I'm genuinely at a loss for why you asked your question in the way you did.
