Per google (the survey of consumer finances) les than two percent of Americans have a trust fund, the median amount being 285,000, which probably wouldn’t even count for DCUM purposes. If you’re talking trust funds in the millions certainly well under 1%

I moved in wealthy circles and didn’t know trust funds. I knew of a few people who got big inheritances but that’s not the same.

I’ve only known well one but knew a ton in undergrad (SLAC) and met a few after graduating. And those are just ones who were crass enough to talk about it.

I've noticed people have off-handedly called things trust funds, when they're really more like adult allowances from their parents. I guess saying trust fund is less embarrassing

I have one now after spending most of my adult life working a five figure do gooder job and not having a trust fund. It’s weird. I still don’t think it’s real and worry about money. It’s about five million.

Not everybody that receives money from family has it in a trust.
