Recently, a powerful conversation swept across Twitter following the announcement of Making It Big by Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola. His story one of risk, failure, resilience, and success sparked debate. But it wasn’t the book itself that trended; it was the Nepo Baby vs Lapo Baby discourse that took center stage.

On one side of the argument were those who believe people born into privilege Nepo Babies should not offer financial advice to those born without the same access or safety nets. Their reasoning? A Nepo Baby can afford to fail. A Lapo Baby, born into financial hardship, often cannot.

Others went further, likening the comparison to joining a Formula 1 race on a bicycle. Without capital, connections, or backup plans, a Lapo Baby faces risks that are deeper, consequences that cut harder.

Finding Value Regardless of Privilege

Amid the banter came a more empowering perspective. A growing number of people acknowledged that while circumstances may differ, wisdom is still valuable no matter where it comes from. A Nepo Baby’s story might not reflect your journey, but it might still hold insights worth applying.

Ultimately, the conversation circled back to the heart of the matter: generational wealth. Whether inherited or hard-earned, it begins with a mindset and more importantly, with intentional decisions.

Why Generational Wealth Is More Than Money

Let’s be clear: Being born without privilege doesn’t seal your fate. It simply sets your starting point. What you do with it is what defines your future. Grit. Resilience. Strategy. Community. These are the building blocks of something far more enduring than money legacy.
