Do you have a source for that, that isn't the pithy unsourced statements from a wealth management company in an ad campaign?
The article itself shows that each Disney generation has less money. The Kennedys are another example. Are the Rockefellers the richest people in America? The Vanderbilts? The Carnegies? The Morgans? The Astors? The Gettys? Nope to all.

The richest today are first generation - Gates, Bezos, Buffet, Musk, Case, etc.
