The data is available and there have been many studies on it. Time and time again, second-generation loses a huge chunk, third-generation destroys the rest as well as the name.

70% of Rich Families Lose Their Wealth by the Second Generation

Donald Trump is indeed a brash, blowhard. The idea that "anyone" can take $40M and turn it into B's is bitter nonsense. If that were the case, we would have even more billionaires.
