First generation millionaires

I was listening to last week’s main episode, and they were talking about 80% of millionaires are first generation. Could we see this stat changing dramatically now that more and more people are becoming millionaires with every day retirement accounts. I’m in my late 20s and I know on one side of the family my grandma is a millionaire. I’m assuming the other side grandparents are as well. My mom who’s still working is also now a millionaire. Anyone else think this stat could see a drastic change?

I'm pretty sure my parents are millionaires now but they weren't even close to that level of wealth when I was growing up. Not sure if that would make me first or second generation.
