It doesn’t help “nobody”. It helps people that build yachts. And then the people who sell things to the people that build yachts. And on, and on.

Working people spend their money.

So would you rather yacht builders get more money, or would you rather people's children get a good education because their parents paid for it?
That's a false dichotomy, since the yacht builders will be taxed and taxes pay for a good education for all (in a far less arbitrary way than wealthy parents' charity).
