I know someone who was able to send his children to medical school in a foreign country, when they weren't accepted into schools in our country. He was able to pay ~$500,000 in tuition, plus all the living expenses, etc.

Now they have graduated and are (by all accounts very fine, even superb) doctors. My kids will always earn a fraction of what they do. Hard to argue that wealth doesn't create opportunities.

Oh and by the way, my father is a doctor, so you could argue that his wealth enabled my brother to make it into medical school (7 years of undergrad, multiple years of applying before being successful) in the first place.
