Over the next 20 years in the U.S., $35–70 trillion in wealth will transfer from one generation to another in the largest generational wealth transfer in history, mostly moving within wealthy white families.

This context of racial capitalism has also given rise to wealth accumulation that, in part, birthed the philanthropic sector.
