For comparison, Gen X had 9% of the wealth, and Boomers had 21%. The largest generation in history did everything they were told, became the most educated generation, and now they're the poorest.

Here are the official numbers from the fed for millennial wealth

Zuckerburg owns a very large amount of Facebook stock, and he sells it on a pre-determined, fixed, schedule. The current amount of stock he has is around $80 billion.

To find out how much he’s sold on what schedule, the easiest answer is Yahoo Meta, insider transactions: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META/insider-transactions?p=META

You can also look at the their 2022 proxy report official in Meta SEC filings https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680122000043/meta2022definitiveproxysta.htm

Zuckerburg has 93,675,733 vested shares, 831,706 class A shares, and 349,745,790 class B shares a total of 350,577,496 shares (we don’t care about voting rights, just valuation). At today’s market value, those shares are worth $296.73 each (October 30, 2023). We multiple those numbers together and get $104,026,860,388.08.

So, that rounds to $104 billion dollars in Meta stock.

Finally, he controls additional shares via Chan Zuckerberg foundation, Mark Zuckerberg Trust, and assorted other groups.

Most people misunderstand this stat, it is not that half of all wealth is Zuck, it's that 2% of that 4% is his.

    If I had a dollar for every time someone misunderstood percentages, I'd have 2% of all gen Z wealth

    I wonder what Gen-Z's gonna be like. No companies founded by my generation so far

    Founding a company is easy: Do you have $150? You too can own a Florida corporation today (literally, within minutes).

    I'm sure there's tens of thousands of LLCs and S corporations owned by Gen Z. They're just things like lawn care services, handyman, independent contractors, etc.

    They may not be huge or popular or famous but I guarantee that there's a lot of them. Because there's far too many jobs that require you have a registered business and thousands of young people have these jobs.

    Wrong! Zillions of Amazon delivery drivers are underpaid independent contractors with their own corporations.

    What year do you think this is? These days corporations are good at exploiting FTE workers, workers who own their own business, and other, smaller corporations.

    here are the official numbers from the fed for millennial wealth, it's actually lower at 4.4%

    I meant for the various generations.

    What about when adjusted for demographic weight? Because I remember reading that millennials had the highest median net worth of all current generations.

    The first link literally shows a graph of wealth distribution over time.

    It doesn't go back before 1989, at which point boomers were 40 to 44 and a much bigger % of the population compared to the small % of the population of millennials that are 40 to 42 at the moment.

    That's what the OP implies, if you're comparing wealth at the same point in life that graphic isn't the info you're looking for.
