Nine new millionaires are minted every minute in the United States,
according to figures from the Federal Reserve. There are now nine
million households with a net worth of $1 million or more, including
many households with $5 million to $25 million.
Many of these
new millionaires are baby boomers. Like the Depression-era generation,
many of today’s affluent boomers are thinking about how they can use
their wealth to leave a financial legacy for their families. They are
gravitating to dynasty trusts to accomplish what are often
multiple-generation wealth transfer goals.
