Practical Applications of The Life Journey of Wealthy Women: Evolving Experiences Around Money, Work, Family, and Life Choices of Ultrawealthy Women

In The Life Journey of Wealthy Women: Evolving Experiences Around Money, Work, Family, and Life Choices of Ultrawealthy Women, which appears in the Winter 2020 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management, authors Fredda Herz Brown (Relative Solutions) and Dennis Jaffe (Wise Counsel Research) explore the unique ways women from three different wealth origins—inherited, self-created, and through marriage—understand their affluence. Some commonalities observed include a view of wealth as a means to pursue self-actualization, upbringings that emphasized traditional views of a woman’s role, a commitment to gender parity and instilling these values in their children, and a positive relationship between wealthy women and their fathers.
