Fortunately, not all who inherit
money fall into this category. These folks are proof that
having money doesn't necessarily mean you're happy. They compose
13% of the wealthy* population.
Average age: 58
Received and built their wealth largely through inheritance,
and living below their means
Second-wealthiest and second-oldest group
Lack the goals and drive to succeed
Think about their financial situation the least out of
apathy and ambivalence
Not charitable, generally unhappy
Least financial know-how of the high-net worth segment
*Wealthy is defined in this survey as $1
million or more in net worth, not including the primary residence.
