There are also these data points [0], that show that the newer generations have fewer and fewer wealth.

That graph is misleading (to say the least) because it is not per capita.

The reason the baby boomer had a much larger share of the national wealth is because they were a much larger share of the population. If you do the same graph per capita, you'll see that there's pretty much no difference between generations.
