It’s a great place to be young and wealthy, with minimal affect and empathy.

Is it though? The article makes a point that SV doesn't have the glitz and glamor, so if you're truly young and wealthy wouldn't you be better off somewhere else?

I don't know if there is any correlation to age and relative wealth with regards to success as an entrepreneur, but I do know that actually being an entrepreneur is a lot of hard work, regardless if you were raised with a silver spoon or not. There is a lot of hustle, and a lot of grind. Maybe if you're rich you can immediately just use your own money to pay others to do the hustling and grinding, but at that point aren't you really just an investor?
