I'm not a teen (22yo) and I've deleted all my social media presence years ago. Now, I only use text to schedule in person meetings. I am less stressed, more productive and healthier.
There's no need to make the Harrison Bergeron argument
If there is no need, then why are you writing about inheritance (paying someone who made you happy) in a negative way? Why are you focusing on money, but not on beauty, fame, intelligence etc. ? It all comes down to: > Why would wealthy people have an obligation to help poor people?
It doesn't. Well, this is a whole question of what a "society" is and the nature of mutual obligation towards both other members of our society and other humans in general.
What is your answer to that and why should I accept it? It seems that society is different things to different people. If you're envious and bitter, then society is about helping losers. If you're healthy and wealthy, then society is about stability. If one day I should find you collapsed in the street, remind me that we don't have any obligations towards each other.
Of course we don't. You might help someone because it makes you feel good or your social status will increase (which in turn makes you feel good). Not because of some vague, abstract concept like obligation/duty that you have towards members of homo sapiens species. There's a difference between leaving a modest family house/farm to your kids versus someone inheriting a business empire worth millions.
What difference? Inheritance = payment for providing happiness and support in life. The amount can be whatever you want - millions, billions or nothing at all. It's not so much the giving that's objected to as the receiving.
Who is objecting to other people receiving money from someone who wants to give it to them voluntarily? It's crazy what envy does to people. Especially when there are other children suffering the effects of poverty in childhood that will give them lifelong disadvantages.
So what? Why would wealthy people have an obligation to help poor people? There are ugly people, which doesn't mean beautiful people should mutilate themselves and make previously ugly people look better in comparison.

Batista had one EBX Group and the ones mentioned were subsidiaries. ...both are doing quite well and delivering on their promises
They are not profitable, which means they are not doing well. ...he's landing rockets on ships and selling tens of thousands of enormously expensive cars per year.
Batista's companies were drilling for oil, doing construction, shipping and many other things.
