Your Moment of Power: The Wealth Transfer That Will Change Everything for Women by Amanda Taylor
Demographics and longevity are on our side: women, on average, live longer, inherit more, and are increasingly building their own wealth as business owners and leaders. Most of the initial wealth transfer will go to widows—95% of “horizontal” transfers from one spouse to another go to women. 2 And the next wave? Daughters, granddaughters, sisters, and female founders will inherit even more. But with this windfall comes new responsibility. Women are not only inheriting assets—they are inheriting decisions.
What does it truly mean to be a woman of power in this new era? It’s not just about position, title, or public acclaim—it’s about claiming your agency, your voice, and your wealth. And right now, the world is shifting beneath our feet. We are on the verge of a historic transition: in the coming decades, women are set to inherit and control more wealth than at any other time in history. Nearly $100 trillion is expected to pass to women through inheritance, business ownership, and investment portfolios by 2048. By 2030, women are projected to control two-thirds of
private wealth in the United States. Globally, the face of wealth is changing—and it’s becoming female. 1 If you’re reading this, you’re part of this story. You may be a founder, an executive, a creative, a community leader, or a woman thinking about her next move. Wherever you are on your journey, this moment is about you—your power to learn, to lead, to invest, and to shape the future for yourself and the generations who follow. Why This Wealth Transfer Matters—And Why It’s Personal Why is this happening?
