Billionaire and philanthropist George Soros handed over control of his $25 billion empire to his son, Alex. The real-life 'Succession' announcement, and a prominent example of what academics call intergenerational wealth transmission, has sparked questions in recent years: Can billionaires be abolished?

Associate professor at the University of Michigan, Fabian Pfeffer, who researches wealth inequality and its consequences for the next generations, shares his reflections.
