That was Bill Gates- the whole quote:

“We want to strike a balance so they have the freedom to do anything, but not sort of a lot of money showered on them so that they can go out and do nothing,” said Bill Gates. “

This is precisely the model that all dynasties use. The money belongs to the family, not the individual members, and is controlled through a network of foundations and trusts that ensure that its protected from both taxation and individual irresponsibility. Consider the Rockefellers, Kennedys, Venderbuilts, etc.

The Gates offspring will never want for money. So they'll be guided into "public service", i.e., politics.
