I don’t think you get my point in the way I want to put it in the context of my reply.You are 100% right. I remember of a scene from the show Avatar, where the princess overthrows a general and also steals his own little military simply by showing more power than him.
This is the quote: "I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing. So you've had to struggle and connive and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The truth is: they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting down on that throne, and which of us is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know."
So I think what you said make so much sense, rich people just have that authority and charisma and self-assurance whereas poor have to prove themselves, and when they meet someone born like that, they don't even have a chance.
A lot of time being charismatic (as accepted by the mainstream society) is developing a lot of interesting skill sets that have no immediate financial goal. And the ability to live and talk a life as if money didn't matter too much is actually to have lots of money.
A hardworking dude working a 8-5 minimum wage job running a side hustle at night for a fastlane project has no interest, time or resources in develop a vast array of knowledge in literature, politics, golf and French wine.
