This just means the very few people who are filthy rich will be even filthier in the next generation.

This is not a statement about average wealth, it's about the total punt of wealth held by millennials, and conveniently ignores that all of that wealth will be held by just a few individuals while the rest of generation languishes.

But halfwits will read this and think "See, everything is fine! We're going to be rich!"

So something like “Richest individuals to be in the Millennial generation with current trends”

Which, if you think about it, makes sense. As billionaires/millionares age/die and pass down assets and wealth the trend will shift to the next generations, etc.
