A millennial money influencer is someone who was born in the early 1980s. Aged in the low 30s, millennium babies are a big influence on society and the economy. Many individuals belonging to this age group are starting their own small businesses. Some are already successful in their own right, by building innovative and IT-inclined start-ups from scratch and fueling them through IPOs.

Surprisingly, initial public offerings by millennial forces are selling like hotcakes, which begs the question, why are they so popular? There in lies the mystery for the exalted status of social-media-based, and Internet-skewed business models. Why millennials tend to start them all up is owing to their combined historical influences as well as mental inclinations.

From this perspective, the millennial money influencer lurks in every corner of the IPO landscape, waiting to pounce on eager Silicon Valley investors who are looking to make insane profits from the worldwide craze that supposedly ended when the Internet Bubble burst. While millennials come from a rather loose age group, the generation before them, known as Generation X has a far more solid footing.

So it’s easy to say that the previous generation is more grounded, if not tethered to the brick and mortar concept of business. This is why the so-called Generation X beats them to a T. Like X-Men, the new generation has a mind of its own and loosely tethered to the ground. Thus, it’s easy for them to take off and bring the traditional business models to stratospheric levels.

Visually, they are rather like a young generation on hover crafts while the other people born before them are more closely associated with skateboards, snowboards, and backpacks. Fashion-wise, this generation is so over with haute couture. They are most comfortable in their hoodies while they decide the fate of Internet stocks.

In fact, 56 of the world’s latest billionaires are below 40 years of age, putting them right smack in the league of the most influential generation the Earth has ever known both from the economic as well as cultural sense. They may shun high fashion, but they can have all the over-the-top gowns as well as other outfits that money can buy. The exception to this rule is Gen X celebrities who are in the movie and music industries.

These celebrities may seem like an outcast, but really the stark differentiation has a completely sensible explanation. They may have a reality TV show that prompts them to live a lavish lifestyle in order to impress and maintain their existing fan base. Their high-tech, young entrepreneur counterparts, on the other hand, can’t care less about what people think of them. This bunch would rather influence the way the rest of the world thinks.
