born rich reflection

Compare and contrast the forces that motivate you to the motives of the individuals interviewed in the film. Which individuals were similar to you? Which individuals were different? How did being “born rich” affect their motivations? How do you think your motivations be different if you were “born rich” like them?

The individual that was the most similar to myself was definitely Ivanka Trump, since she seemed to be the most down to earth and educated. Yes, she did come across as quite privileged, but was aware of her surroundings and that not everyone was as wealthy as she was. One of the individuals that was very different from myself was Luke Weil. He was extremely pretentious and attended Brown University where he barely studied and graduated due to the fact that they wouldn't ick him out due to the amount of money that he was providing the school with. My motivations would be different if I were "born rich" since I might not be as motivated in school since I would not need a career to provide income for the rest of my life. But, I feel as though money would not change the determination that I have since that truly defines me.
