I'm only mildly annoyed when 20 something kids with huge amounts of generational wealth feel like they've got deep insights. Look everyone has opinions and knowledge and I'm sure there is value to it. This behavior shouldn't surprise you... positions of power have always felt self importance and a desire to espouse their ideas either as a means to make their egos feel good or simply cast themselves in a positive light.

The good thing with the Internet is that there is so much out there...

This is every article that's like "How I became a millionaire by 25" or "How a new graduate paid off $100,000 in student loans in two years."

The last one I read was literally (not exaggerating) "Grandma gave me a condo as a graduation gift (!) and instead of living in it like a chump I turned it into an income stream by renting it out while mom and dad covered all my living expenses. Aren't I smart?" (Ok, the last sentence was an exaggeration)

Implied but unstated is "you can do it too, just make better decisions."

That's because people with generational wealth are more able to explore their options. It's almost like having money makes you capable of living up to potential or something.

*eta: some of them still turn out rotten.

Most of the biggest mind and perspective altering events I have experienced have had nothing to do with money or free time.

Going through such events as partner's cancer treatment, triumphs such as full remission, and the death of a loved one have had more impact on my values and perspective of time then would ever happen with bank accounts bursting at the seams.

Growing older, with continued exposure over time to new ideas and perspectives from people from all walks of life from over the world has also had a big effect.

These experiences are not bought with money.
