Again, that ignores the fact that rich people (who don’t have to work) have less kids and that’s been the case for ages, it just so happens that rich women have access to education and contraceptives and that’s been the case for over a hundred years.
That’s GDP of the country, and is not related to the number of children born to parents who don’t have to work. It states that rich countries have a lower birth rate.

Multimillionaires don’t need to work, they could stop working and live off the interest on their wealth, yet their fertility rate is lower than people who make under 50k/year, which is less than the interest you make on a million in savings.

You’d have to provide some data about not having to work and birthrates. According to table 2, by far the largest proportion of births is to those who are unclassified. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/articles/anoteonchildbearingbysocioeconomicstatusandcountryofbirthofmother/2016#births-by-socio-economic-status-and-age-of-mothers
However it doesn’t distinguish between being wealthy, on benefits or perhaps being a student!
This paper suggests that the fall coincides with the industrial revolution. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44289704?seq=1

It’s a very well known and studied phenomenon.

Do you think multimillionaires have to work and that people who make under 25k don’t?

This chart does backup your statement that low income families have the highest birthrate.
It does not show whether people have to work, which is the point I was disputing (that rich people who don’t have to work have fewer children)
Looking at the ONS data the percentage of women who’s employment status is ‘unclassified’ is, by far, the largest proportion of women giving birth

Lol, I have no idea, a million isn’t that much if one has a big house, staff, and private jets.
I’m not quite sure what your point is?
