Dell founder just dropped a massive financial inclusion move. His family's putting $250 into accounts for 25 million kids under 10—but there's a catch. Only families in zip codes where median income sits below $150K qualify.
The initiative ties into that new account program getting buzz lately. Quarter of a billion in seed capital, targeting young demographics in middle-income neighborhoods. Not your typical corporate philanthropy play.
Interesting wealth distribution angle here. They're essentially frontloading capital access for a generation that'll hit financial decision-making age in 8-15 years. Could shift how we think about early-stage asset allocation.
No word yet on account structure details or withdrawal restrictions. But the geographic income targeting is smart—avoids the "giving to those who don't need it" trap while maintaining broad reach.

There is nothing wrong with reasonably distributing wealth.
