This flight will serve as to an inspiration to all the other kids of investment bankers who are getting their private pilots' licenses on their gap year. They will know that they, too, can do anything, even go to space on daddy's dime.

If you are born in to money it's not the fault of the offspring as to what opportunities are available to them. If they can learn to fly, great. What's wrong with that. It gives them knowledge and experience to take further into life.

Much better they get out and learn than staying in bed all day.

You sound jealous, are you jealous?
