Google's AI overview suggests that even 8% of this €27MM inheritance is enough to live on. Of course, she probably has her own savings aside from this windfall. I forget where I heard this, but greedy people are never happy because the one thing they want, they know they will never have: enough.
Anyway, I wish the people going on and on about merit would consider inheritance. I wish those who are in government would at a minimum take a long hard look at estate taxes. As only certain people are able to build wealth (sometimes by government decree, sometimes via other concerted efforts like redlining), systemically, further generations get more and more of a head start. Billionaires like Musk got to where they are because they started with so much wealth to begin with, not because of skill or intelligence.
