While this is true, I do find it interesting that some of the luxury beliefs are also held by people who are not very rich (but maybe come from rich families?) 

It can be hard to tell because surveys on political beliefs don't often ask about family background, or at least the publicly presented portion doesn't often cut on that dimension.
