The only thing that the rich are "categorically good" at is performing the behaviors that the market encourages, specifically with relation to managing capital and using ownership of capital to exert authority over labor. And the behaviors that the market encourages are near universally corrosive to humanity.

In terms of any actual life skill or proficiency, I'd take an average poor person over a rich person any day.
