No because I can't say anything in such confidence, and as people mentioned, Kim Jong Un for example is more privileged. But he IS the most privileged American politician in history, most likely.

Mellon? Rockefeller(any of them, even the Democratic Jay Rockefeller)? Any of the Kennedys? Maybe Bloomberg? Or one of the Waltons? Any members of the Hearst family? Elizabeth Warren, who is in the top hundredth of a percent* in net worth, worth between six and ten million dollars?

All the people you mentioned are either political dynasties, whose members actually had to work hard as governors or legislators to distinguish themselves, a very successful businessman like Bloomberg who, just from a quick look at his Wikipedia page, is CLEARLY much less privileged than Trump- the son of a simple mother and father and the grandson of immigrants. And as for Warren... please. She's not only a woman, which even in today's society makes her less privileged, but also worked hard for consumers and taught in a university. How can you even think that Trump, a spoiled brat in a suit, is less privileged than these people?

The Rockefellers and Kennedys are only wealthy because their parents were, not because of their own hard work. At least Trump has significantly increased his own net worth.

Wealthy, yes. But remember that the Rockfellers and Kennedys became politicians, public servants who worked hard as quality Governors or Senators, rather than businessmen like Trump. I'm certain that if they tried to increase their networth, they'd do it much better than a failure like Trump. He just jumped right on the Presidency without any prior experience to satisfy his narcissism and bloated ego, knowing full well that he doesn't have the necessary experience for such a job.
