Honestly, though, there is truth to that statement. But I think it has more to do with selection bias than anything else. Rich guys get hot chicks and hot chicks are more likely to have hot kids and hot people are likely to stay hot looking longer simply because they are starting out with an advantage. Not so attractive people look better when they are young, but awful as they age. Good looking people also look better when they are young, but age better. Even without plastic surgery. They have better bone structure.
This of course brings us back to the question of how it is that Chelsea Clnton can be uglier than both of her parents (which is not to say that either of her parents are hot just that it seems to be a genetic anomoly that she can be uglier than both instead of somewhere inbetween the two).
