Something seriously wrong here. Tell your folks to just set up offshore accounts rather than stashing the cash like this!

Yet Americans have so much respect for CEO's and other higher up people who parents were rich. They were ushered into the good life either through large inheritance, a family business or at the very least an Elite education that gives them connections that a poor person could never afford.
But good for them they worked hard and got somewhere.
