Why do successful people who are seen as inspirational characters so often hide the fact that they had a leg-up in life through rich parents?

There are probably 2 camps on this. One is completely ignorant of normal struggles and how difficult it can be to make the choice they’ve made. They are genuinely unaware of this “leg-up” and don’t so much downplay it as omit it. The other is people that are very aware of it but are self conscious because of the stigma it carries. People tend to downplay any of your accomplishments, which doesn’t feel good even if you had some things easier than others. The other aspect is they simply don’t know what to do about it, even possessing that knowledge. “Trust fund baby” is not a positive term even though we all strive to provide our kids the security to pursue what they want in life without fear of becoming destitute (within reason and not to spend irresponsibility while doing nothing with their lives). I like to think I’m in the latter group. I’m a physician that was fortunate enough to have incredible support from my parents in about every way possible. I have no debt from college or medical school and I own my house outright because of what they’ve given me. I make good money now but am still much better off than the majority of those in my field 10-20yrs more senior. I recognize my peers are in much different situations. In fact, I realize it makes very little sense to pursue my career path unless you have the resources I do. It’s far too cumbersome in terms of the daily/weekly hours and years of education that go into it, to saddle yourself with enormous debt that realistically delay decisions like buying a house by 10-15 years minimum. Is this a problem? Yeah. It’s probably not a good thing to have doctors from predominantly wealthy families. But I don’t exactly know what to do with that information. Do I feel a bit of moral obligation to do something like medicine vs something more accessible? I don’t want to sound arrogant at all; I think lots of people could do what I do but maybe in a small way I feel like I should do this because I can afford to comfortably. I don’t pretend this is some noble pursuit but I’ve tried to share what I’ve been given with my peers in small ways. I rented out the rooms in my house to other med students during school for way under market rate (just split expenses). Of course I enjoyed their company, but I concocted a story that I just had a lease on the place and the owner lived internationally because I never wanted to feel like anyone’s landlord. It worked for me. So idk maybe people born with the silver spoon are a-holes. Maybe I’m an a-hole. But I try to be more aware even if I’m not forthcoming.
