My cousin's son who is 7 years old has networth of 500k. Just wondering, what was your networth at 7 if you remember.

My cousin was asking if his son is below the median.

Yes. Below the median of Elon Musk's sons.

There are a very few lucky individuals born as U.S. dollar billionaires — “trust fund babies.” There are even a tiny number who are self-made millionaires before their first birthdays. (How? The baby has a famous parent, and tabloids online/offline are willing to pay a lot for baby photos.)

There are even certain jurisdictions where it’s at least difficult for a parent or guardian to steal all of a child’s self-made wealth. California has “Jackie Coogan” laws, for example.

In Singapore it’s fairly common for real estate crazed parents to set up a trust to buy property under a child’s name, primarily to avoid ABSD. I don’t think this is smart for a variety of reasons (as it happens), but it occurs.

In the "Parable of Talents", the master was not fair to begin with. A child does not have a choice to which family to be born in. As for money, the start matters, but the ultimate judge in the end. :o

I want some of whatever your cousin is smoking!

The average seven-year-old has a net worth of zero plus whatever the value of a couple of well-loved teddy bears is. A 7-year-old who's worth half a mill has very rich parents who are very aggressive with their tax planning.

My son is 4+ years old. I had topped up his CPF and also started an equity portfolio for him. His net worth, inclusive of CDA, stands at S$30k.
