That's because your ancestors were selfish just like I assume you are. Are you going to be saving and investing your money so your children and build up their wealth? That's pretty much the key to being wealthy - time and sacrifice of your ancestors.

That's actually the funny thing. People don't realize that as long as they live within the interest/dividends/capital gains, their financial security is almost bulletproof. If they continue growing it year after year as well, the principal will grow throughout the generations. Unfortunately, a generation(usually the children) will just see the big pot of money and say "who cares if it's just a few million? we have 28 million in the account" and it's all downhill from there. People should prioritize building a massive stack so that they can retire early and pass on the love to their posterity.

Maybe they did and one of your other asshole ancestors squandered it all.

People do that, they're called "old money." It is probably hard to keep going for too long because it requires discipline, as you noted, and eventually someone will lack it.

In this day and age it has become much harder to acquire a fortune or even retire let alone save enough to leave for your children or grandchildren millennials will be working until they die.

Yeah, even my grandfather was broke. I should just kill myself now.
