Ep 27: Are Millionaires STILL Being Made In Trump's Economy
Build Black Show | Business Growth & EntrepreneurshipShow Notes
Fidelity reported a record 769,000 401(k) millionaire accounts in Q2 2026 — raising an interesting question: Are millionaires STILL being made in Trump’s economy?
In Episode 27, The Three Amigos — Coach Swan Simpson, Cretelia Harris and Robin White — examine the numbers behind today’s economy and the Americans who are continuing to accumulate wealth.
We break down the rise of the 401(k) millionaire, how decades of consistent investing can turn ordinary retirement contributions into seven figures, and what these numbers do — and don’t — tell us about the financial health of everyday Americans.
We also tackle the bigger conversation: Has the path to becoming a millionaire changed? Does wealth still require an extraordinary income, or are time, consistency, investing and ownership still some of the biggest pieces of the equation?
Everybody has an opinion about the economy.
This episode looks at the receipts.
