In my personal bubble, people whose wealth was inherited from previous generations, are not considered successful. The very word "success" implies the previous effort to reach something, gain something etc.
Do you anecdotally know someone who said "John is a son of a magnate who does nothing all day, he is so successful"?
There is a different situation when the successor generation multiplies the wealth, but that already takes some effort and good judgment.
