Millennials on course to become 'richest generation in history' (theguardian.com)

All that you need to know: "...their future financial firepower is likely to be a divisive lottery, predominantly determined by inheritance from previous generations...".

This article is hard to understand, and is all over the place - starts out talking about the inheritance that Millennials may someday get, and ends like this:

"Property, financial investments and cars were among the most significant sources of wealth, the Knight Frank study found.

Among smaller items, the report found that the market for secondhand bags had eased, while the fine wine market grew marginally and sales of watches at the three big auction houses totalled £488m in 2023, a slight increase on the year before.

At the high end, Canadian rapper Drake paid $1m for a ring formerly owned by the late Tupac Shakur at Sotheby’s hip-hop auction last July."

Cars, secondhand bags, fine wine and Tupac Shakur's former ring? What the actual h*ll? Did AI write this entire article and go completely off script?

Research done by an estate agent? Come on The Guardian. At least put some effort into vetting your sources for bias.

Then why are there so many memes about millennials still living in their parents' basements?

millennials will be rich when... checks notes... boomers stop owning everything? so you're saying boomers are currently the richest generation in history and that won't change until they die?

So Boomers need to die if Millennials are to become rich?

With such reporting and analysis, The Guardian is more likely to die before the Boomers.
