I think this comes down to a number of things, and not just inheritance of money.
It's also the benefits of learning from parents who have figured out the system, may have a strong work ethic, being around other connected people, better schools and teachers, better competition to sharpen skills, better coaches.

Redistribution of money is one thing, but making sure all classes have access to good education, great teachers/coaches, positive peers and mentors is what's really needed.

Redistribution of resources would be more impactful than redistribution of wealth IMO.
Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome should always be the goal.
