Most people don't. They hear the name or realize you've come from money, and they make assumptions. My mom tried to make sure my sister and I knew we could do more by helping others. I'd rather be poor and know that I was able to save someone, than be rich and only care about myself.

I don't do anonymous so much, just accepted a better name and position for myself.

And you don't get to pick your parents. You can pick your family, though, and I've been lucky to have some great friends and family now.
