This is not really correct. Art and a lot of jobs that don't pay well go to children of rich people because they don't need the money, their parents are usually already in the network of influence and patrons. The current state of art is at the mercy of them anyway to keep up the illusion - the rich donate and get their benefits/private events and tax write offs. And since they're rich they end up becoming public figures themselves and bring even more attention to their institute.
