Rich, massive assets, and get free school meals, SAT waivers, college application waivers. 

There are a whole lot of people in this world that are living in a house of cards, living in expensive homes, driving expensive cars, and wearing expensive clothes and jewelry for appearances sake, that don't have a thousand dollars saved in the bank and have huge credit card bills. 
And owning a house and vehicle (1) are not disqualifiers for govt. assistance. Anytime there is a system, there will be people who exploit it.
