It's not stupid. Think about large families with inherent power dynamics- everyone's either been in or knows at least one. It's just a human thing. We know what's right and wrong, but acting according to what we /know/ is a lot harder said than done when human nature is factored in.
Now make the assumption that a group of human beings were doing the right things at the right time in the right place to become mega rich, and then apply the same rules.
People aren't terribly different from one another on the fundamental level- the only different things are circumstances which determine 1) the number of restrictions, and conversely 2) the number of privileges.
The only valuable question is how to minimize this human dynamic as the size of the group grows, because leaving a 5-person group behind to find something different is a lot easier and a lot less consequential than leaving a 5000-person group.
