They suggested that the exclusive should have been awarded to a child in need rather than one born into wealth.

One person said: "Would be awesome if some kid actually deserving of it got that opportunity.  Not someone who was incredibly lucky to be born to billionaires." 

A second wrote: "Money can buy happiness. Debate closed!" 

While a third commented: "What money can buy"
