Millennials hold 4.4% of all wealth, and Zuckerberg single-handedly has 2% of that wealth. There are now millennials in their 40s!
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.
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.
Completely agree, and it's obscene that this weird creep that made a stalking app for this college can now push industries with how much money he has in this amorphous value. But I just hope that people can be angry at these facts without being lost in a misunderstanding and think that half of all millennial wealth is one guy.
When we do these wealth calculations, do we include debt? I would say the majority of my friends have negative wealth (tbf, a self selecting group of overeducated underemployed people)
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.

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