I don't see the contradiction? If you inherit a lot of wealth you're likely to remain wealthy. Simultaneously you may not be motivated to work much and contribute to society.

So how do you remain wealthy if, following the social stigma, you make all the "wrong decisions" and squander the money?

Maintaining wealth takes work too.

I think if you inherit a large enough amount of wealth it's actually really difficult to squander unless you're intentionally trying to.
