Hi, welcome to the forum! smile

Dentro de veinte años.....


EDIT: En veinte años is the correct one here I think. Dentro de.. means in 20 years also but maybe before it's finished.

ie: In 20 years you will be rich.

Dentro de 20 ....... Sometime between now and 20 years, you will be rich.

En 20 ........ You will be rich only after 20 years.

Both are correct. It depends upon what you want to say.
