You're missing the forest for the trees.

Yes, the first billionaire and ostensibly trillionaire is Gen X and the politicians are starting to move into the X/M range... and the M/Z are supporting it because they're sucking up the marketing like a hoover with a plan...

But Boomers still hold the majority of the wealth and make up a huge portion of the population. The billionaire class are going to grab as much of that as possible. Their imminent deaths will not create a massive redistribution of wealth. It will create a fucking feeding frenzy for the predator class.

We can point fingers at this generation or that, but not much separates me from a Millenial in age - it's not like a switch was flipped and this made-up term changes who I am. That's the sociological equivalent to astrology.

For anyone else wondering, the world’s first USD billionaire was John D. Rockefeller in 1916. He was decidedly not Gen X.

First billionaire on the planet was a genx.

Pretty sure the first billionaires predate genx by decades.

First billionaire on the planet was a genx. Who is also estimated to be the first trillionaire.

John D. Rockefeller was born in 1839. I'm not much of one for the silly generations, but I wasn't aware GenX included the 1800s
