I thought about this over and over again, I still don't see it as a betrayal but rather my first thought to such a scenario is that "They must have had a reason for keeping it from me". Instead of feeling betrayed, I'll be very quick to want to know the reason they hid that fact.
I've seen in a lot of movies how things work in the wealthy homes especially when there are so much to inherit and the father of the family is made to make choices on how he should leave his wealth behind without causing war among the children. I'm choosing to believe the "Rich" in this topic means wealthy (money and valuable possessions) too.

Who doesn't want to live a good and comfortable life? I doubt there's any and I'm totally in for such a life. My parents aren't rich but I try my best to live comfortably as much as I can while I still pursue financial freedom to share the comfort I can. Imagining my parents revealing that they are actually rich would be a boost to all I have had planned.
I've read somewhere that "A lot of ideas die when there are no finances or a way to actualize them". I have had a few ideas that I couldn't go any further because of situations I could have avoided if my parents were wealthy, it's same for many others I've heard their ideas but couldn't be of good help to them.
Riches don't guarantee happiness but happiness can also come from being wealthy. I am happy with my family even in our present status but I believe we have more to achieve if we had more to give. From the personalities in my family, we only need such a truth reveal or our financial dreams coming true to make a better world for ourselves and others.
So if my parents should reveal such, I wouldn't see it as a betrayal... It could be their way of teaching me to appreciate God's blessings in the form of wealth even more. We've seen or heard of a lot of people who take their wealthy privileges for granted or abuse people with the power their wealth gives to them. Some people have even had to hide their wealth to stay humble and teach humility to their kids.
I would be surprised, I would be more excited about my future going forward but most importantly, I'll be very much grateful that I have reached the status that would require more from me as in more responsibilities as expected.
The secret wealth therapy would change a lot of things in my life but the person I have grown to be without that wealth would always be there and I think that's golden to keep the wealth in good fate. Even if my parents may never reveal such in the future, we will keep working towards making it happen by our prayers and hard work.
