The race to dominate the autonomous vehicle market is heating up, and an unexpected contender has emerged: Hyundai.

In fact, there is strong evidence that most “rich families” will be poorer after several generations. Some of the reasons for this are systemic. Taxes, for example, chip away at a family’s wealth. But most factors that diminish a family’s wealth over generations are the choices that heirs make. These include how they invest their inheritance, how many children they have, whether they get divorced, and other lifestyle choices. Figure 1. The 10 richest people in the world in 2013 and 2023.
