My uncle made it rich trading commodities back in the momentum days, he was 19 when he made his first $100 000.

Athletes in sport also do pretty well.

OP,
If you were wondering how this will impact "the generation," I believe the answer is almost not at all. How many people will end up with lasting and deep impacting implications from poker? Well, very few play at any kind of volume or seriousness. It will impact fewer still as only a percentage of the above group will A)continue, or leverage their new money so that they don't rely on a traditional path or B)learn and apply lessons learned from a poker past significantly.
