I don't begrudge him his money, and I don't see why someone with money should be barred from holding opinions about societal fairness...if Gerrard Winstanley lived today then no doubt there'd be people on social media calling him a **** for coming from a well-off family and being a god botherer. Not that Brand could hold a candle to Winstanley.
He's a young bloke; young blokes say and do dumb things as they learn about life. His heart is in the right place even if his mind and dick aren't. He sees injustice and doesn't have the right answers - but then none of us do.
