I'd imagine raising families, since they can afford it.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

There have been numerous global studies showing an inverse relationship between income and fertility rates. Higher income usually equals lower fertility. And we even see this pattern when comparing developed (rich) countries to underdeveloped (poor) countries... the same can be said for education, with higher education typically meaning lower fertility rates.

Granted, these studies tend to cap the high-end of the income spectrum to around $100,000, which is near poverty in 2024, but I'd be interested in knowing if millionaires are actually having so many kids that they need to justify a ~~sports car~~ van.
