Twenty-five high school seniors from underserved Bay Area communities will graduate from PG&E’s Financial Education Program, each receiving a $7,000 scholarship. This initiative, a collaboration with UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, equips students with essential financial literacy, including investing and wealth creation. The program’s success aligns with California’s new mandate for personal finance education, empowering youth for brighter financial futures.

UBS reports significant wealth creation, especially in China. The nation is averaging 380 new millionaires daily in 2024, fueled by economic growth, and is projected to add over 5 million more by 2029. Globally, the US adds around 1,000 new millionaires daily. Moreover, a “Great Wealth Transfer” of over $80 trillion is underway, with women poised to become significant beneficiaries, potentially influencing future investment trends.
