it is better to accumulate wealth in the hands of those that earned it.

Paris Hilton. Kim Kardashian. Nicole Richie. Kevin Federline

The argument is that someone else earned it and is free to give it to whomever they like, and private property rights extend to the wishes of those who are dead.   Either that or that the fact it is so much money involved, it is an exception to the rule.
