It is the way the aristocracy has made money for centuries (stealing it, since they couldn't make it themself).

But the fact that his wealth is stolen may make him more caring of his subjects, knowing that he didn't deserve his fortune, and so they may not deserve their misfortune, whereas someone who build themself up from nothing may very well look down on these people as lazy.
