There are 618,000 millennial millionaires in the US, and they're set to inherit even more wealth from their baby boomer parents, according to a new report by Coldwell Banker.


The "Great Wealth Transfer" will see an estimated $68 trillion passed down from boomers over the next 30 years.


By 2030, millennials will be five times richer than they are today.

Apparently 44% of those millionaires live in California. Silicon Valley is making the youth rich

A millionaire in California is not the same as in other states.  A California millennial millionaire secluded in Silicon Valley may not even know it.

Alot of those so-called Millennials are really Gen X, and screw Pew Research for saying otherwise.

But you're right. Old school wisdom: it ain't what you make, it's what you keep, and a million don't go that far in Cali or NYC.

Which is a big part of the problem. All those little millennial geniuses - real and self-proclaimed - might be so in all that is tech related, but ususally don't know jack about money, finance, economics, and markets.

Bet 50% of the 44%  are still living in their parents basements.
