You mean their parents are weathly, which doesnt mean their parents pay for their school. And $70k-$100k isn't "wealthy"

My parents are very well off but I paid for my own school.

Well common sense would lead me to believe that parents that push their kids to achieve to a TOPS standard are likely college grads themselves and thus at least middle class families. That doesn't make them wealthy, just parents with good priorities.
