The idea we have of "Generational Wealth" depends on compouding returns and compounding returns require perpetual economic growth which is something that in a sufficiently long timeline is simply not possible.

Also, on capitalism, economic growth is also dependent at some level on population growth.

Eternal life would probably require some kind of socialism.

Well, generational wealth only continues to work if you continue to provide value, somehow. Your money gets inflated away otherwise.
