I don't know. The only kids I know who "expect" to be rich are the ones who have upper-middle class backgrounds--so, hey, they have a better shot at making more money than the average Joe Blow.

As people wait until they are doing very well in their careers to start a family, a lot of their kids don't see the hard work that their parents put in before they were born. When people started families younger, the kids saw the parents sacrifice and work really hard to provide, so they had a more realistic perspective. Now, when kids see their parents working from home half the time, remodeling the house at a whim, and going on lavish trips, they didn't see the 10-15 years of hard, hard work that allowed them to have that lifestyle. So, they think it takes a minimal effort. A lot of my friends had that experience--they had no idea what their parents went through before they were born.
