Generational Wealth Experience Planning
Generational Wealth Experience Planning is a service that helps families plan how to allocate their wealth during their lifetime to create meaningful experiences rather than just leaving an inheritance. It was pitched on My First Million in the episode "$100M hedge fund manager: Do not make the mistake of dying rich" (aired November 2, 2026).

The problem it solves
This service helps families avoid the common issue of waiting until death to distribute wealth, which can lead to missed opportunities for shared experiences and fulfillment.
How it makes money
Consultation-based model where families pay for personalized planning sessions and ongoing support in implementing their wealth allocation strategy.
Skills you need
Financial planning expertise, strong interpersonal skills for family dynamics, and knowledge of experiences that enhance family bonding.
The market, and why this works now
Wealthfront's financial planning tools offer a current mechanism for families to visualize and manage wealth allocation effectively. Launching a targeted campaign on Lenny's Community can attract early adopters interested in generational wealth strategies. A significant constraint in the first year will be the labor intensity required to develop personalized plans that cater to diverse family dynamics.
