I see Logan as more of a one dimensional character than the offspring are, in that way I actually think he might be there almost solely for context as you said about the business side earlier on. The context being - this is who you have to be to be successful at the top and pale imitations will not cut the mustard. Everything those kids touch turns to shit so fast purely due to their own conflicting need to impress and piss off their dad. They want to be him without putting in the work, this is why you get Kendall going all weird over clouds…
You’re undeniably right that certain factors make it difficult for the mega successful to go broke or even truly fail, but I think that’s more true of self made men like Logan rather than his typically spoiled and oblivious progeny. They just cut the safety net that would have kept them in the catbird seat too… the old guard and the new money are all ready to drown them before they even get a chance to capsize.
