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.
Unless you paid the mortgage off on your house, then it’s not wealth. It’s debt that you owe and the house is actually owned by the bank who will immediately repossess it when you stop making your payments. Zucc owns actual tangible wealth as opposed to having debt.
Funny how you keep proving that either you don’t understand what wealth actually is or you’re just trolling. Hard to say which it is to be honest.
Wrong again

And from your own source:
130T in total wealth for American households.
5.something for millennials
So make up your mind, is your source reliable or not?
lol
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Given that you don’t understand the difference between wealth and debt, calling what you do thinking is a bit of a stretch. 😂
Dude… I just showed you a source contradicting you, your debt goes against your wealth sure, but a mortgage doesn’t mean the house doesn’t count in your wealth, neither does a loan on a car, you deduce the debt from the value of the object against which it’s been contracted, your wealth is still positive.
The source doesn’t contradict me. Counting the house as your wealth is just playing number games in practice. Same goes for your car loan. These aren’t assets you hold that you can just sell off if you need money. You need your house to live in, and you need your car to get to places. The fact that you don’t even understand such basic things is truly incredible.
How come households wealth isn’t negative in your governmental source then if on average people are indebted? 🤔 You understand how averages work, right? Total wealth / number of people… If the average is negative then the first number needs to be negative… You understand that, right? Right?
Oh, that’s right, it’s not negative in your source because wealth isn’t calculated the way you think.
Your source confirms both the 130T (total) and 5.7T (millennials) wealth numbers, my source confirms that Zuckerberg is worth 110B or 2% of 5.7T, not 2% of 130T, you were wrong all along, your own original post also confirms it (2% of millennial wealth is what’s said, not 2% of total wealth), deal with it.
Edit: Even you confirm what Zuckerberg is worth in your own OP message, yet you’re arguing that he’s worth 40% of millennial’s wealth which is a completely different number from what you said yourself 😂 That’s completely idiotic, off to the block list with you, troll!
Reference your questions about relative percentages of the population etc., I had a whole big ass post with references but I lost it. I’m not doing all that again so I’ll just give the main takeaways from memory and the history in my calculator so unfortunately my source is trust me bro.
Two caveats: I’m using median ages of the cohorts, average could charge things (edit: see correction at end). Percentages are of total population including children (who generally have no wealth), not working age plus retired population.
In 1990 the median boomer was 35, they represented 30.6% of the population and had 21.5% of the wealth.
In 2022 the median millennial was 33.5, they represented 21.7% of the population and had 5.6% of the wealth.
So boomers had 1.4x the share of the population but 3.8x the share of the wealth.
Boomers in 1990 did have 1.5 more years to earn, save, and grow their wealth than millennials in 2022(maybe more or less if you use average age), but I don’t see how that alone makes the difference. For whatever combination of reasons, boomers had a much larger share of the wealth, relative to their population share, in their mid thirties than millennials do.
Correction: 35 and 33.5 aren’t median ages, that’s just the age of the middle of the cohort. The point about using average (or even the real median) age for an apples-to-apples comparison stands, I just misused the word median.
