While wealth can bring with it some unconventional problems — such as being denied an invite-only Ferrari and accidentally destroying swathes of coral reefs with a 300-foot yacht — most other problems that the rich face may not be as esoteric as we think.

Yeah maybe such inequality shouldn't exist, where someone can spend unfathomable amounts of money on bullshit toys, while others don't have the bare minimum to live. Don't accumulate this kind of wealth and you solve both problems at once.

“Wealth can be pretty isolating … sometimes all eyes are on you to see what you do with your money,” she said, noting that some clients face the pressure of how they hope to be remembered, and where the money should go — whether it be investments, philanthropy, or legacy building.

Yeah another psychopathic take, "I have to be remembered as a good person!", how about you just make sure to DO good, who fucking cares how you'll be remembered once you DON'T EXIST ANYMORE?
