If you\u2019ve managed to escape generational poverty<\/a>, the next line of action is to build sustainable wealth. While building wealth, you should focus on something called generational wealth. Now that you no longer have to worry about paying off debt, you have a job, and you are out of poverty, it\u2019s time to focus on planning for the future. But then, what is generational wealth? How can you build enough wealth that it exceeds your lifetime? Here is a detailed article on how to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is generational wealth?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Investopedia<\/a>, generational wealth \u201crefers to assets passed by one generation of a family to another. Those assets can include stocks, bonds, and other investments, as well as real estate and family businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, generational wealth is wealth that is passed down from one generation to the next. Wealth here is not just sacks of cash but assets that keep generating financial value.  Do you know those families that never seem to ever go broke? It seems as though they\u2019ve always had money, right? Not quite. If someone is born into wealth, someone else before them worked for that wealth. It could be decades or even centuries before. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To better understand this, let us look at a popular family that has generational wealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Herm\u00e8s Family<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An accurate example of a family with generational wealth is the French Herm\u00e8s family. As a collective, the family has a net worth of $112 billion and the source: luxury design. Leather bags, luxury goods, jewelry, perfumes, watches, you name it; the Herm\u00e8s produce it. But then, since we’ve agreed that if wealth exists in a family, someone must have worked for it, how did the Herm\u00e8s family become this wealthy? How are they able to transfer this wealth from one generation to another?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Herm\u00e8s family wealth, there are a lot of names and dates but let\u2019s focus on the basics. It all started in 1837  when a man called Thierry Herm\u00e8s established a workshop in Paris to produce leather materials specifically for the European nobility: the lords and ladies. Thierry did a good job at this and even won awards for his amazing products. 43 years later, his son, Charles-Emile took over the business. He found the shop a new office and also trained his own sons in the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this time, the company not only catered for the European nobility but to wealthy individuals from North Africa, Asia and the Americas. When Charles-Emile retired, his two sons (who were the grandsons of the original founder Thierry Herm\u00e8s) took over. During their time, the company made accessories for the Prince of Wales. This was in 1918 – 81 years after the company was founded. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two sons also trained their three sons-in-law to be business partners and in 1924, they set up shop in the United States of America. In 1898, Dumas became the head of the company. He was one of the trained sons-in-law. His son, Jean-Louis was also introduced into the company. Jean Louis went abroad to engage in buyer-training programs in New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1978, he became the chairman of Herm\u00e8s. In 1993, the company went public. Three years later, they opened a store in Beijing, China. Jean-Louis retired in 2006 and was replaced by Patrick Thomas, the first non-Herm\u00e8s family to ever head the company, over a century after the company was founded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, the company opened shop in Dubai, their largest so far. Three years ago, the Herm\u00e8s brand was 33rd on the Forbes List of World Most Valuable Brands.<\/strong> And it all started with one man, back then in 1837 before the invention of the internet or the telephone, before the First and Second World Wars; that\u2019s how far ago it was. Today, the Herm\u00e8s family is the fourth richest family in the whole world. That right there, is what is called generational wealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important to build generational wealth?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generational wealth is selfless.<\/strong> It is you building for your children and their children\u2019s children.  Think about it: if you battled financial struggles and had to figure out a lot of things on your own without any financial help, it’s probably because your parents did not have much, to begin with. Maybe they had enough to manage a family but not enough to get you started with yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You choosing to build generational wealth is saying: I want those who come after me to have something good to start with. I don\u2019t want them to have to start afresh from zero naira. So generational wealth is basically accumulating assets for your descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to build generational wealth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Handle your own personal finance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are still figuring out your own personal finance<\/a>, then maybe you want to focus on that for now.  While it is important to plan for those coming after you, you can’t do that properly if you are not financially fit. Do you have substantial savings, solid investments, an emergency fund, or a retirement plan? If any of these is missing, then you should fix that first. Building generational wealth is important but it is not as urgent as fixing your personal finances. But if you have all that sorted already and you are ready to take the next step, great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Decide what you want to leave behind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generational wealth is not a sack of cash. It could be anything of increasing financial value. Depending on your capabilities, your interests, your environment and your financial standing, you need to decide what you want to leave behind for the generations coming after you. Is it mutual funds investments? Real estate? A company? Here are a few of the things you can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mutual funds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Investing in mutual funds and stocks is an average person\u2019s best shot at generational wealth. All you need is to start early, be consistent and just wait. <\/strong>While there are other options to build wealth, if you want something that will not require much from you: just money and patience, then mutual funds is the answer. You do not have to actively follow the news and monitor the market as you have fund managers handling that for you. The very idea of mutual funds is designed for long-term investments. Since that is exactly what generational wealth is about, then you really should start investing in mutual funds now<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stocks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Investing in the stock market is another great way to build generational wealth. A stock<\/a> is a collection of shares owned by an individual investor which indicates partial ownership of the assets and earnings of a company. As long as the company remains and generates profit, the value of your stocks also appreciates. So how do you go about it? Do your research. Pick out companies with competent leadership, great finances and a promising future. Invest your money and play the long game. If you do it right, the value of your stock will increase with time. Here’s a good example: the value of a Netflix stock<\/a> in January 2013 was $19. Four years later, the value was $137.21. This simply shows how much value you can get if you invest in the right stocks and wait it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real estate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s that one asset that never depreciates in value? Land. From basic economics right from secondary school, we know that land does not depreciate. It is called a fixed non-depreciable asset for this reason. Accumulating acres of land is a good way to ensure that your children are set for life. However real estate is not just land. According to Investopedia, real estate is \u201cdefined as the land and any permanent structures, like a home, or improvements attached to the land, whether natural or man-made.\u201d So how can you also invest in real estate? You could start with the easiest: buying acres of land and accumulating them for your children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to actually become a homeowner. Buying a house or building one can also be a form of generational wealth. If you live in a city like Lagos where the value of landed properties is ever-increasing, real estate can be a great option for you. Imagine you own lands in Epe, residential apartments in Victoria Island, shopping malls and hotels in Ikeja, these are valuable assets that you can pass down to your children as a form of generational wealth. With real estate, however, it\u2019s best to start small and think long-term. From buying your first house to setting up your own shopping complex for rent, to building a hotel, to accumulating acres of land; it\u2019s a gradual step towards family wealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business\/company<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the start of this article, we took a deep dive into the Herm\u00e8s family and saw how one man set up his generation for riches. You also can do the same with our own business or company. Handing over a profitable family business to your children is a good way to set them up for life. This is especially good if the said children have a keen interest in running the business and they have been incorporated early into the operations just like the Herm\u00e8s family and they also buy into your long-term vision for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life insurance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever considered getting life <\/a>insurance<\/a>? Life insurance is a \u201ccontract between an insurer and a policy owner. A life insurance policy guarantees the insurer pays a sum of money to named beneficiaries when the insured dies in exchange for the premiums paid by the policyholder during their lifetime.\u201d In simple terms, you pay a certain sum of money periodically or at once to an insurance company and when you die, the insurance company pays a certain amount which is called death benefits to your beneficiaries – in this case, your children or whomever you are building generational wealth for. Getting life insurance is one of the many options you have to build generational wealth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the easiest way to set up your children for a good financial future is to educate them. Giving your children the traditional education from primary to tertiary level is a good way to ensure that they will be able to stand on their own. They will qualify for good-paying jobs and be able to build their own wealth while yours would only serve as support. In addition to traditional education, a solid personal finance education is compulsory if your plan to build generational wealth must succeed. This is because when you die, the state of your wealth falls on to the living generation and if they are ill-equipped to manage it, you may have built for nothing. It may result in the case of the prodigal son. Educating your children is key to building generational wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Draw out a wealth plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have seen your options and chosen the paths you want to take in building generational wealth, the next thing you need is a plan. When it comes to financial matters, a plan is always essential. How much of your income will go into your generational wealth budget? Will you divide your resources equally among the many options listed above or you give certain percentages? Will you bring your children along now or let them discover when you die? A solid wealth plan will answer all these. You may need to consult a financial advisor as you make these plans and do your own research.  Once you have your wealth plan, set periodic goals and strategies on how to achieve the ultimate goal. Integrate your plans into your annual budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Make all things legal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While consulting a financial advisor is necessary but not compulsory, consulting a lawyer is absolutely compulsory<\/strong> if you are building wealth for generations. You will most likely not be alive to witness how your wealth will be distributed or put to use. Your only way to ensure that things are done according to your plan is to go through the legal route. The moment you start taking solid actions, consult a lawyer and go through all the legal proceedings necessary to make sure you are on the right side of the law.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Build gradually and steadily<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remember, this is a long-term game and it is never-ending. Hence, no pressure, no rush. Build gradually and watch your family\u2019s wealth grow with time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Discuss with your family<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To prevent a prodigal son scenario, discuss your plans with your descendants. If you are building the wealth for them, then it is a good idea that you keep them in the loop especially if you are building a family business,  investing in real estate or going through any other route that will require their active participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Do not leave debt behind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In your quest to build generational wealth, ensure that you do not leave debt behind<\/a>. The last thing you want your children to do is settling debt with all the assets you\u2019ve accumulated all along. Tie all loose ends and build on a debt-free foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Instill a spirit of responsibility and discipline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most important things you need to do to ensure that the wealth survives the immediate generation after you. The goal of generational wealth is not just for a decade or a century; it is to ensure that you build so much wealth that the next generation just builds on it. And on and on it continues such that anyone born into your family is born with a solid foundation. This won\u2019t be possible if those coming after you don\u2019t get along with the program. So start by instilling in them a spirit of responsibility and discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this to work, they also need to be committed to the cause of building generational wealth for the family. Generational wealth is a collective. It\u2019s called family wealth or legacy wealth for a reason so it\u2019s hard building it when other members of your family are not on the same page with you. <\/p>\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If after reading this, you are thinking you do not need generational wealth, remember that generational wealth is just the opposite of generational poverty. Same way poverty can be passed down, wealth can also be passed down. So instead of staying on the fence or passing down generational poverty to those coming after you, while not pass down generational wealth? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deciding to pass down wealth will also help you lead a responsible life and to spend wisely since you are not just making money for yourself and your immediate family but even for those coming after you. This helps you to know that while you may have a lot of money as an individual, the goal is to build generational wealth. So while it\u2019s good to enjoy life while you\u2019re here, also remember, it\u2019s Day One. Let\u2019s get to building generational wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
