A massive wealth transfer is underway: over $84T is set to move from Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z in the coming decades.

As that shift unfolds, so do the standards for what holds value — digitally and culturally. Crypto’s rise is one sign. Another? The growing influence of younger collectors in the art world.

In 2024, Millennials and Gen Z made up 25–33% of buyers at major auction houses — more than double their share five years ago. At 
Christies's recent AI art sale, 48% of bidders were from these younger generations, 37% new to the platform.
