From Dogecoin to Driveway: Why Meme Investors Are Now Looking at Real Assets
What happens when meme magic fades? A new wave of investors is leaving the volatility of Dogecoin and GameStop behind—and heading straight into the world of tangible, real-world assets. It’s not a pivot. It’s a movement.
This article covers:
- The rise (and dip) of meme investing
- Why younger investors are embracing real assets
- How collector cars are turning heads (and profits)
- What this shift means for the future of wealth-building
It was fun while it lasted.
From Reddit-fueled rallies to Dogecoin’s Elon-fueled rocket ride, meme investing made headlines—and a few millionaires—practically overnight. But what goes up in a hype cycle often crashes twice as fast. Even meme stocks like AMC and GameStop have lost most of their gains since their peaks according to Yahoo Finance.
The wild swings and unpredictable returns have left a growing number of investors—especially Gen Z and Millennials—asking a bigger question: what actually builds wealth over time?

Enter real assets.
This new class of investors is increasingly favoring physical, tangible investments—things they can see, touch, and understand. Real estate. Art. Watches. And yes—collector cars. A study by Goldman Sachsfound that allocations to real assets among younger investors have increased significantly over the past 3 years, signaling a shift in mindset from fast flips to long-term value.
Unlike meme coins, real assets have historical data and intrinsic value. And among them, collector cars are pulling ahead fast.
According to Knight Frank’s 2024 Wealth Report, passion-led investments like luxury cars (+185%), fine wine (+162%), and art (+90%) have outpaced U.S. real estate over the past decade. In a world of digital speculation, that’s a stat you can park in your garage.
