I wonder about this a lot.
In modern times the wealthy aren't just intelligent white Europeans - you have the highly educated that come from old money and athletes/actors/musicians.
No one will argue that $$$ = opportunity.
So athletes and actors (considered physically superior or more attractive) now have the earning ability of old money.
I wonder more if Intelligent+Athletec/Attractive become the morlocks and the less advantaged/attractive/athletic become the eloi.
Kind of a reverse of Wells original concept...
