Many parents want to set their children up for more financial success than what they had growing up. It's a noble goal that may sound challenging, but financial TikToker Vincent Chan recently revealed a simple roadmap for making your children rich.

"It's a lot easier than you think," he explained.

You've heard of investing, traditional retirement accounts, and Roth IRAs, but Chan is talking about a different account that most people are underutilizing. Here's how you can make your children rich.

Don't Miss:

• Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.

• Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation. 

A 529 Plan is one of the best tax-advantaged accounts for building wealth. This account does not have a maximum contribution limit, and the money grows tax-free. If you're single, you can give up to $19,000 per year for each child. However, if you are married, you can give each child up to $38,000 per year without having those contributions count toward your lifetime gift tax exemption.

You can only use 529 plan funds for educational expenses like college and school supplies. Paying for your child's education will give them a tremendous head start, but that's not the only benefit of this account.

You don't even have to wait until you have children to create one of these accounts. Individuals can create 529 plans for themselves and list their children as beneficiaries later. You can save for your child's financial future before you even get married.

You don't have to make flashy financial moves to make your children rich. Chan recommends investing the money and watching it grow instead of trying to time the stock market or use options.

Most investors just have to find a good ETF that tracks a popular benchmark like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. These ETFs are already diversified, and you can find ETFs that align with your long-term financial goals.

Your children won't be able to access the money for a while, so it's usually a good idea to take a growth-oriented approach with these accounts. They have plenty of time to ride market volatility and corrections before they can access the money.
