Millennials could become the richest generation ever — but only if they already come from money

• Millennials are projected to inherit $90 trillion over the next two decades, according to a new wealth report.
• This wealth transfer is set to make them the richest generation ever.
• But, Gen Zs are in a position to have more ways to create their own wealth, the report says. 

If you're a Millennial whose parents have a boatload of money, you're about to make your generation historically rich.

Over the next 20 years, $90 trillion worth of assets is expected to move between generations, mostly from older generations, such as Boomers, to Millennials, according to a new wealth report from global property consultancy Knight Frank.
