For years, women have been breaking barriers in business, leadership, and wealth accumulation. But the coming decade will mark a historic shift—one where women are set to control trillions of dollars in global assets. This shift isn’t just about money; it’s about power, influence, and a transformation in the way wealth is managed, invested, and utilized to shape the future.
Venture capital is also seeing a shift. More women than ever in history are starting their own venture capital funds and investing in women- and at the same time, slowly but surely more and more women are investing in venture capital funds. Eventually, this will result in women entrepreneurs getting more than the paltry 2% they have been receiving for many, many years. The end result will be women business owners getting more opportunities to thrive.
By telling these stories, Show Her the Money is not only sparking conversations but also providing actionable insights on how to support female-led businesses and drive financial change. The film has been recognized by US News and World Report as one of the best financial films of the decade. It educates and informs women and men about the importance of venture capital in an engaging, storytelling way - making it easy to understand the importance of it to our future. And it is a critical piece in shifting the narrative around women and wealth.
If you’re ready to be part of this movement, consider hosting a screening of Show Her the Money or finding ways to invest in women-led ventures. The financial landscape is changing, and now is the time to take action.

For years, women have been breaking barriers in business, leadership, and wealth accumulation. But the coming decade will mark a historic shift—one where women are set to control trillions of dollars in global assets. This shift isn’t just about money; it’s about power, influence, and a transformation in the way wealth is managed, invested, and utilized to shape the future.
The Largest Wealth Transfer in History
By 2030, studies predict that women in the United States alone will control nearly $30 trillion in assets. This massive wealth transfer is being driven by two primary factors: inheritances from aging Baby Boomers and the increasing financial success of women across industries. More women are advancing in leadership roles, earning higher salaries, and starting businesses, all contributing to this unprecedented financial shift.Women Are Changing the Investment Landscape
Women are not just inheriting wealth; they are using it differently. Unlike previous generations, today’s female investors are more likely to seek investments that align with their values, supporting businesses that prioritize diversity, sustainability, and social impact. Women are also more inclined to reinvest in their communities, creating a multiplier effect that benefits families, businesses, and the economy at large.Venture capital is also seeing a shift. More women than ever in history are starting their own venture capital funds and investing in women- and at the same time, slowly but surely more and more women are investing in venture capital funds. Eventually, this will result in women entrepreneurs getting more than the paltry 2% they have been receiving for many, many years. The end result will be women business owners getting more opportunities to thrive.
The Role of Media in Elevating Women’s Financial Influence
One of the most effective ways to accelerate this financial shift is through awareness and education. That is why I produced Show Her the Money, an award-winning documentary that highlights the funding gap for female entrepreneurs and the investors who are working to close it. The film showcases inspiring stories of women who have broken through barriers to secure capital, scale their businesses, and change the investment landscape.By telling these stories, Show Her the Money is not only sparking conversations but also providing actionable insights on how to support female-led businesses and drive financial change. The film has been recognized by US News and World Report as one of the best financial films of the decade. It educates and informs women and men about the importance of venture capital in an engaging, storytelling way - making it easy to understand the importance of it to our future. And it is a critical piece in shifting the narrative around women and wealth.

Creating a space for dialogue is one of the most powerful ways to support this movement. Hosting a screening of Show Her the Money is an opportunity to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, and community members to discuss the future of women in wealth.

The coming decade isn’t just about women inheriting wealth—it’s about owning it, growing it, and using it to drive change. With trillions of dollars shifting into the hands of women, the potential for economic transformation is enormous. From investing in female-led businesses to advocating for more inclusive financial policies, women have the opportunity to reshape the future of wealth and leadership.If you’re ready to be part of this movement, consider hosting a screening of Show Her the Money or finding ways to invest in women-led ventures.
