First of all you picked one of the richest people in the world for your thread.
The Rothschilds are so rich, that most of their wealth has left the Fortune lists. Many people in NYC in asset management know that the family has more than 1000 billions - they are essentially trillionaires. They have been billionaires in the 1850s.
What it feels like when growing up like that depends on the family. Some let you go through your own hell, neglect or worse by own family, sadistic British elite schools etc. It's certainly different growing up like that than earning it yourself. Those two things cannot be compared. When you are born into it, then it's usually tied up to a greater degree and you keep on managing it or are not even given access to it to a full degree.
When you create the wealth yourself, then it's something else, but you appreciate it more.
