...which makes it especially surprising that some affluent people have no class.

I think you meant "relatively easy."

I suppose so. I tried not to say too much with a general statement, but if I were to amend it I'd say:

"It's relatively easy to have class (assuming you want to) if you're affluent."

Take the Williams sisters, for example. No class when they first entered the tennis scene. A few million dollars, etiquette courses, and makeovers later, and they now have class. Of course, the impetus must come first from the individual. Otherwise, you're stuck being Rosie O'Donnell for the rest of your overpaid, overpublicized existence.
