Hi there - Noticed in your commentary you used to work in IB. Currently working in M&A but would be genuinely fascinated to hear more about your career path so far and how you started this channel. Not sure the best way to get in contact, but please let me know if you’d be willing to hop on a quick call at some point.
About a decade ago I asked a very senior private banker in London how many of his clients who were billionaires were in Forbes. He said only a quarter or a bit more. Most aren’t. Especially if you made money in emerging markets or from a private business
@@elwan_ living in a developing country, its about having friends high in the government and get contracts or monopolies. Take Brazil for example, IIRC 23/24 of the richest people there are government contractors like the infamous Odebrescht.
Several years ago my father sold around 250 acres of land to a gentleman that owned a private independent oil company here in Texas. We knew he was fairly well off. But a year or so after the fact, he sold out his interest in the company and it became public knowledge. He was worth 4.3 billion dollars. I believe it was published in forbes or texas monthly, I can't recall. No one would have ever known. He was looking for hunting properties for when he retired. I won't mention the name here but he was a nice guy. He only came with his wife and a couple of other of his employees when he looked around the place. I remember my father saying he would have asked more for the place if he knew at the time, lol.

As an airplane-aficionado, I was traveling and saw the tail # of a private plane at my home airport. Being fascinated by it, I wanted to know where it came from. Looked it up and it led to a LLC, which led to a winery in Napa, which led to a family, which led to a gentleman who was very wealthy. Even when ppl w/ wealth try to hide, there are ways to find them even if it wasn’t my initial intention lol
You can try, but if someone wants to stay incognito they really can. In that case, if they wanted to really hide they would have had the plane in an LLC with a funny name (You Thought LOL LLC) that was held by another company (winery). You can't see what company is holding it unless there's liens or something public showing the connection.
@@shitedriver8490 I was relating a personal experience of uncovering information through an unconventional mean to the video I enjoyed watching. But okay. I guess if human lie detectors are anything like standard lie detectors, I don’t have anything to worry about since they’re wrong more often than they’re right.
Most rich people don't want you to know they are rich. My wife is a millionaire. She comes from old money. REALLY old money. "Mayflower" levels of old money. Her mother manages a portfolio in the tens of millions of dollars and has investments and trusts set up for her three children. You'd never guess this from how my wife grew up or lived now. Her life has always been comfortable but modest. Her parents sent their children to private school, but they lived in a modest house and drove simple cars. Even now, my wife and I live in a modest house and own an older Prius and a newer Prius. People are always surprised to learn about her finances. So was I, as she never told me a word about how wealthy her family was for the seven years that we dated. I didn't learn about her wealth until we filed our first tax return together. I thought there was an "off by zero" error on her itemizations; more accurately, I thought there was an "off by SEVERAL zeroes" error. We keep everything carefully invested and stay quiet about our money, as it's all locked away in trusts, retirement accounts, and mutual funds. In a few years we will retire and use that money to travel the world together.
Even for normal people ( not millionaires status), some people are a lot richer than people think, but on the other side there’s a lot of people that are poorer than they appear to be because they are in a lot of debt.
My dad aint exactly some ultra rich millionaire, but he is "technically" a millionaire cus of his assets. It dont really mean shit tho cus our living standards are no where near travis scott level.

My friends and I have always agreed that a private life is one of the most valuable things money can never buy. Once youre in the public interest, you could never pay the world enough to forget you who are. Once my friend group gets rich, no one will ever know our name or who we are. We were never popular and have never had any sort of significant presence online which we are grateful for. We live in such a small bubble that we're blessed no one is thinking about us. I definitely dont want to be living rent free in anyones head. The most I'm fine being known for is an expert or influencer in a niche business industry. I dont want to be on the news, media or talked about. No one will ever have me as an interest. Privacy is fucking amazing
@Josef K Yeah, ideally billionaires shouldn't exist. But so long as billionaires exist, they shouldn't be allowed to be private. They have as much power as political parties in local politics, it's just not right that no one knows who they are, where to direct ire at their decisions.
alex hormozi and one of his friends said it best, "unless you have a message you want to share to the world, its better to stay unknown, than known" in other word if you are rich stay quite and live life with a peace of mind, unless you have something you really what to teach the world.
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
I'm intrigued by the idea of investing with an analyst, it seems like a wise choice in today's market. Could you provide me with some guidance on how to get in touch with her?
I like this channel because it reminds me of a different life I had in investment banking. I started at red Bank then moved to a boutique investment firm for high net worth individuals. I'll never forget it because this scraggly college kid comes into my office off a favor of someone at the boutique. He inherited some sum of money from a grandparent and needed help. I figured he was there as a favor from the owner. Nope. His grandparent had legitimate equity in a major business you likely hear about weekly. Sold out of it in the 80s and invested it into a number larger than I felt comfortable managing on my own. So I got a few senior partners involved, and it was still a struggle. We never had any billionaires but I can say from working at a boutique firm like that you'd be alarmed at the capital flowing in a small community and how well its hidden from the publics eye. People who want you to see they have money will let you know. Otherwise it's hidden.
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
From my perspective, this highlights the importance of having a competitive advantage as investors. Merely mirroring the market strategies of others is insufficient in achieving optimal results. I am currently grappling with the decision to invest in the current market, as it presents both uncertainty and opportunity. Could you share your insights on this matter
All big corps are just a cohort of centralised system working together, and any damage to one can have a dangerous ripple effect on every other one. I learned a long time ago to not trust corporations. Most of my money is in the stock market and my businesses. I keep only what I need to spend in my checking account.
@@edelineguillet2121 Iron-ically, these are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways.

There was a guy in NJ a number of years back who owned a pharma company (family company that when it was bankrupt in the 90s, he bought out everyones shares, and owned 100%) and make it into a company that he sold to a Japanese conglomerate for 800 million (bc the Japanese company is publicly traded, journalists were able to get access to how much profit a year the NJ company was making before purchase by the Japanese from the shareholder docs in Japan). This man won't appear on any forbes list because everything had always been private, but given the companies revenues and the sales, and no doubt he has other investments, he forsure is a billionaire, but no one will know.
I've spoken to some wealthy people in central London; there are far more than 735 billionaires the subject isn't up for debate. Just walk around places like Harrods and you'll understand. If you were a billionaire, would you let Forbes put you on a public list? The answer is most likely no. Someone I know of worked for a head of state years ago. Publically, he had a few million $. Secretly, he had tens of millions hidden in Switzerland
@@tbraghavendran only Americans can't hide money in Switzerland due to laws they agreed on. Everyone else can bring cash there & deposit it to anonymous accounts.
I always had a feeling that the 30 under 30 list was a lousy thing. The people featured in it were over hyped and vain who cared more about their profile and looks than doing actual work. I mean it was just a bunch of people who made some stupid internet company which had a minute impact in the world but got the recognization like it was a new twitter or something. It just makes so much sense that this was actually paid advertising.
PS did you know many Vogue articles are paid for by semi-elite people seeking publicity for their art, restaurant, fashion line, etc.. It is well done and Vogue curates it well enough that generally it isn’t obvious.
this is something I've pondered for awhile, even among the listed billionaires most ppl can at best name like 10-20 off the top of their heads, because all the rest of them know better than to let everyone know how insanely rich you are and value their privacy
That too, there’s famous and then there’s Musk-Zuck-Bezos famous. Tech and media companies have to sell a vision, so their image is far more tied to their CEO individually (especially if they’re also a founder) than is the case with other more established companies. For example: Indra Nooyi spent 18 years as one of PepsiCo’s top executives (CFO, CEO, President, and/or Chair). She was making $15-20M a year including stock-based compensation, so she’s easily worth hundreds of millions if not a billion. Forbes would know about her for sure - Pepsi is a household name and the 40th biggest company in the world by market capitalization - but the average person wouldn’t recognize her.
Nassef Sawiris was the world's richest Arab with a net worth of $7.7 billion. Egypt and Lebanon had six billionaires each, making them the countries with the highest number of billionaires in the Arab region. Since 2018, Forbes has not included Arabs in the global list. That year, the magazine decided to exclude all Saudi Arabian tycoons after the Saudi Arabian government detained dozens of top businessmen from the oil-rich kingdom in a corruption case in 2017.

As a real estate professional for the last five years I’ve had access to see the portfolios of dozens of billionaires. These people own thousands of rental properties and you don’t even know they exist. That’s the way to do it in my opinion.
The listed people don’t realize that this is a HIT LIST used by scammers, gold diggers, etc to target people. You better believe if I had that level of money, I wouldn’t want the entire world to know. I wouldn’t want to require bodyguards just to go to the grocery store. I don’t want to worry that a new friend is coming after my money. I don’t want my family turning in Gollum, freaking out for money. You absolutely called the correct way to do this: invest it well and spend $100,000 a month. That’s an insane amount of money, more than enough for travel and fun, and NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW. The urge to flex on people might give you a brief dopamine boost, but the long term effects aren’t worth it.
1 of Those people could give every homeless person on the planet a house with a garden , a car and a dog house to go with it ... nice world we live in , isn't it ... but when you Have money , you wouldn't want to part with it easily most people who have less money are happier overall though , so ... i wouldn't want loads of money , you'll never know if people like You for being yourself or that they like your money more
@@ThermaL-ty7bw "most people who have less money are happier" this is just a thing rich people say to keep you in your place. What matters for happiness really, is having more free time. You can't have free time if you're working 2 jobs just to live.
I live in a small great lakes city and there are a weird number of billionaires, some you've heard of, most you haven't and it's literal dynastic English wealth, passed down via trusts, llc's, corp's, and kept out of the public eye. Some even live in modest homes.
@eman aqeel That's not as surprising because it's Toronto/a toronto suburb. My town has ~140,000 people, it's called Ann Arbor. It's a totally separate city from any others in michigan, it doesn't function as a suburb. The city was designed by the same city planners as DC. It really doesn't make sense why there's OLD european dynastic money hiding here. We have a UBS (Swiss Trust Fund bank, so probably literal european nobility). Tis weird for a small midwestern college town. There are over a dozen families here with over a billion dollars that I know the names of, some live on GIANT plots of land outside of town, most live in large homes, but not something only a billionaire could afford. Michigan is a really weird state. It has money like the coasts, with the auto industry, some banks, security, natural resource companies (salt, sand, water lumber, iron, farming, ranching), etc. Ohio has a lot of money that you wouldn't expect, too. I think their money is generally older (rail road baron era).
@@jjoohhhnn is it in Michigan or Illinois? I may know where you’re talking about some of my family used to live in one of those towns until recently and I went to HS in one
Considering there's a shortage of long range private jets and yachts over 50 meters with 100+ meter yachts rolling off dock yards like cakes, I'd say there's a whole lot more billionaires than what Forbes publishes
This is indeed true, I know a few politicians and businessmen who have a net worth higher than a billion, there's so many more billionaire than we think there are.
So I just need to act boring, dress boring, drive a boring car, have modest investments and say "yeah, I wish" if someone asks if I'm rich?Looks like I'm 3/4 of the way to being stealth wealthy already!

@@dimitarmargaritov After $100k a year, the happiness improvements have diminishing returns. This is fact. a few hundred million is great cus you get access to basically everything you actually want in life a lil quicker. But being a doctor/pharmacologist and earning $500k a year is also pretty good since your gonna be investing that money anyways, and your gonna be getting the same stuff, but maybe a year down the line instead of weeks apart.
The rich are money minded. That is one thing I learnt from the start. I have always wanted to build wealth. I have set out $167k that I had been saving since 2020, and I want to put it in the stock market so I can grow my wealth. Any recommendations?
It is really good that you do. I know a lot of people who have made a lot from the stock market. But you need to spend a lot of time studying the market if you want to be a pro, or you use a stock advisor who really knows what they are doing.
For real, people underestimate how much they can rake in from the stock market. Started with $127k just before the pandemic hit. Many people's portfolios tanked, but I rode through with my financial advisor, and even made more than $86k within just five months of starting, and it's been an awesome ride since then.
This is something I've heard of severally, but I just don't know how to find an advisor. If you'll be kind enough, can I ask who your financial advisor is?
@@smithmurphy The thing is that I really don't like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with ''JILL MARIE CARROLL'' for about four years now, and she's made decent returns. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead.
1.) own private equity/assets It’s really that simple, the known billionaires are known because they own shares of public stock that value over $1b in aggregate. You likely don’t even think about wealthy people/family’s who keep their wealth in private, often family owned companies.
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
People actually think the Rothchilds or the Rockefellers or even the Fords (of Henry Ford) or Morgans (of JP Morgan) have lost their wealth because of their invisibility.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Mylah Evander the lady you recommended.....
There's a sweet spot for wealth probably somewhere in the mid-$10 millions (say $40 - $70 million). That way you have more than enough money to do just about anything (legal) that you want for your entire life, but without all the gargantuan headaches of being uber-rich.
You also have to remember, there's actually trillionaires out here already and you will never see them listed on the public. It's all private money in the back that you won't catch wind of unless you break into the world of reading legal books, cases, and financial remedy like HJR-192. It's ridiculous how much money there is out here.
its easy ro become rich when you dont pay taxes and exploit third world humans to acquire cheap labor, while charging ridicolous amount of money to your cult members (i mean customer base). Apple
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for inveesting is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having inveesting nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $850k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Not telling anyone that you are bilionaire is just smart move. Too many beggars, public eyes and all other bs comes from this being a public knowledge.
If I was a billionaire, I'd want everyone to know and would publicly list my address. But what they wouldn't know is that it's a decoy house. When people asking for money show up, they'd be directed to a very weird and uncomfortable waiting room and left alone. Once they got uncomfortable enough and decided to leave, they'd be greeting by an intricate series of mazelike hallways, bizarre rooms, and strange doors. When they finally either found their way out (unlikely), or broke down and begged to be let out, someone would go in and escort them off the premises. The number of leeches trying to beg for money would drop overnight. But anyways, as long as we're talking about corrupt bureaucrats, can we talk about Biden?
I've been telling my coworkers for years that if you are buying crypto most of them are customers not investors or investomers. It might make them money but more likely not.

sorry for your divorce, there are actually ideas that could be put in place for solid gains during a crash, but such strategies are carried out by distinguished advisors
True, people downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their emotions, I remember couple years back during covid lockdown, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, thus researched for license advisors, That was the game changer, helped grow my reserve to nearly $1.5m after subsequent investments to date
sometimes we fail to realize how resourceful an extra income can be until crisis.. at this point i'm looking for assistance with where to put my money during this financial recession, mind if i look up your advisor pls>>>>>>>>

interestingly enough, Isabel dos Santos, the former president of Angola’s daughter, brought and financed Forbes in Angola. They estimated her net worth and she was the richest woman of africa, 3.4B (from corrupt money). That title and attention brought up investigations about the source of her wealth, she’s now wanted / being investigated in Portugal, Angola and I think England. A lot of members of her father’s party were also known for corruption and inappropriate use of public funds. But they were smart enough not to declare them publicly. I’m sure that there are many other billionaires in Angola or other African countries that choose to live in the shadows to avoid public knowledge and investigations.
The funny thing is there are actually trillonaires also. But yah, they are all from "old money" so not something forbes would be able to track.... also they have their wealth disconnected from them so much that even their home isn't "legally" their home.

The Rockefellers are wealthy as a family but it’s also a big family. I come from a family that’s technically probably just below the billionaire mark but it’s spread out between so many inheritors, so unevenly divided, and unevenly invested that it’s completely meaningless and ranges from an uncle of mine worth north of 200 mil in his personal PE fund to my grandparents who made extremely conservative investments and kept their part of the business local and thus “only” have a few mil in the bank

As an airplane-aficionado, I was traveling and saw the tail # of a private plane at my home airport. Being fascinated by it, I wanted to know where it came from. Looked it up and it led to a LLC, which led to a winery in Napa, which led to a family, which led to a gentleman who was very wealthy. Even when ppl w/ wealth try to hide, there are ways to find them even if it wasn’t my initial intention lol
You can try, but if someone wants to stay incognito they really can. In that case, if they wanted to really hide they would have had the plane in an LLC with a funny name (You Thought LOL LLC) that was held by another company (winery). You can't see what company is holding it unless there's liens or something public showing the connection.

My wife is a millionaire. She comes from old money. REALLY old money. "Mayflower" levels of old money. Her mother manages a portfolio in the tens of millions of dollars and has investments and trusts set up for her three children.
You'd never guess this from how my wife grew up or lived now. Her life has always been comfortable but modest. Her parents sent their children to private school, but they lived in a modest house and drove simple cars. Even now, my wife and I live in a modest house and own an older Prius and a newer Prius.
People are always surprised to learn about her finances. So was I, as she never told me a word about how wealthy her family was for the seven years that we dated. I didn't learn about her wealth until we filed our first tax return together. I thought there was an "off by zero" error on her itemizations; more accurately, I thought there was an "off by SEVERAL zeroes" error.
We keep everything carefully invested and stay quiet about our money, as it's all locked away in trusts, retirement accounts, and mutual funds. In a few years we will retire and use that money to travel the world together.
Even for normal people ( not millionaires status), some people are a lot richer than people think, but on the other side there’s a lot of people that are poorer than they appear to be because they are in a lot of debt.
My dad aint exactly some ultra rich millionaire, but he is "technically" a millionaire cus of his assets.

Being rich and a minority is also dangerous from all the bias by the majority demographics.
My friends and I have always agreed that a private life is one of the most valuable things money can never buy. Once youre in the public interest, you could never pay the world enough to forget you who are.
Once my friend group gets rich, no one will ever know our name or who we are. We were never popular and have never had any sort of significant presence online which we are grateful for. We live in such a small bubble that we're blessed no one is thinking about us. I definitely dont want to be living rent free in anyones head. The most I'm fine being known for is an expert or influencer in a niche business industry. I dont want to be on the news, media or talked about. No one will ever have me as an interest. Privacy is fucking amazing
We will find you
@Josef K privacy is a human right
@Josef K Yeah, ideally billionaires shouldn't exist. But so long as billionaires exist, they shouldn't be allowed to be private. They have as much power as political parties in local politics, it's just not right that no one knows who they are, where to direct ire at their decisions.

Hahahah yes when you get rich lmao
alex hormozi and one of his friends said it best, "unless you have a message you want to share to the world, its better to stay unknown, than known" in other word if you are rich stay quite and live life with a peace of mind, unless you have something you really what to teach the world.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

I like this channel because it reminds me of a different life I had in investment banking. I started at red Bank then moved to a boutique investment firm for high net worth individuals.
I'll never forget it because this scraggly college kid comes into my office off a favor of someone at the boutique. He inherited some sum of money from a grandparent and needed help. I figured he was there as a favor from the owner.
Nope. His grandparent had legitimate equity in a major business you likely hear about weekly. Sold out of it in the 80s and invested it into a number larger than I felt comfortable managing on my own. So I got a few senior partners involved, and it was still a struggle.
We never had any billionaires but I can say from working at a boutique firm like that you'd be alarmed at the capital flowing in a small community and how well its hidden from the publics eye. People who want you to see they have money will let you know. Otherwise it's hidden.
What exactly did you worked as ?
probably the local strip club
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.
It is remarkable how much long term

The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.
Many individuals report success in investing in stocks,fx, yet I continue to struggle.Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
From my perspective, this highlights the importance of having a competitive advantage as investors. Merely mirroring the market strategies of others is insufficient in achieving optimal results. I am currently grappling with the decision to invest in the current market, as it presents both uncertainty and opportunity. Could you share your insights on this matter
All big corps are just a cohort of centralised system working together, and any damage to one can have a dangerous ripple effect on every other one.

this is something I've pondered for awhile, even among the listed billionaires most ppl can at best name like 10-20 off the top of their heads, because all the rest of them know better than to let everyone know how insanely rich you are and value their privacy
That too, there’s famous and then there’s Musk-Zuck-Bezos famous. Tech and media companies have to sell a vision, so their image is far more tied to their CEO individually (especially if they’re also a founder) than is the case with other more established companies.
For example: Indra Nooyi spent 18 years as one of PepsiCo’s top executives (CFO, CEO, President, and/or Chair). She was making $15-20M a year including stock-based compensation, so she’s easily worth hundreds of millions if not a billion. Forbes would know about her for sure - Pepsi is a household name and the 40th biggest company in the world by market capitalization - but the average person wouldn’t recognize her.
Nassef Sawiris was the world's richest Arab with a net worth of $7.7 billion. Egypt and Lebanon had six billionaires each, making them the countries with the highest number of billionaires in the Arab region.
Since 2018, Forbes has not included Arabs in the global list. That year, the magazine decided to exclude all Saudi Arabian tycoons after the Saudi Arabian government detained dozens of top businessmen from the oil-rich kingdom in a corruption case in 2017.

The listed people don’t realize that this is a HIT LIST used by scammers, gold diggers, etc to target people. You better believe if I had that level of money, I wouldn’t want the entire world to know. I wouldn’t want to require bodyguards just to go to the grocery store. I don’t want to worry that a new friend is coming after my money. I don’t want my family turning in Gollum, freaking out for money.
You absolutely called the correct way to do this: invest it well and spend $100,000 a month. That’s an insane amount of money, more than enough for travel and fun, and NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW. The urge to flex on people might give you a brief dopamine boost, but the long term effects aren’t worth it.

What business did they own ?
@eman aqeel That's not as surprising because it's Toronto/a toronto suburb. My town has ~140,000 people, it's called Ann Arbor. It's a totally separate city from any others in michigan, it doesn't function as a suburb. The city was designed by the same city planners as DC. It really doesn't make sense why there's OLD european dynastic money hiding here. We have a UBS (Swiss Trust Fund bank, so probably literal european nobility). Tis weird for a small midwestern college town. There are over a dozen families here with over a billion dollars that I know the names of, some live on GIANT plots of land outside of town, most live in large homes, but not something only a billionaire could afford. Michigan is a really weird state. It has money like the coasts, with the auto industry, some banks, security, natural resource companies (salt, sand, water lumber, iron, farming, ranching), etc. Ohio has a lot of money that you wouldn't expect, too.

a few hundred million is great cus you get access to basically everything you actually want in life a lil quicker.

It is really good that you do. I know a lot of people who have made a lot from the stock market. But you need to spend a lot of time studying the market if you want to be a pro, or you use a stock advisor who really knows what they are doing.
For real, people underestimate how much they can rake in from the stock market. Started with $127k just before the pandemic hit. Many people's portfolios tanked, but I rode through with my financial advisor, and even made more than $86k within just five months of starting, and it's been an awesome ride since then.

There's a sweet spot for wealth probably somewhere in the mid-$10 millions (say $40 - $70 million). That way you have more than enough money to do just about anything (legal) that you want for your entire life, but without all the gargantuan headaches of being uber-rich.

Not telling anyone that you are bilionaire is just smart move. Too many beggars, public eyes and all other bs comes from this being a public knowledge.
If I was a billionaire, I'd want everyone to know and would publicly list my address. But what they wouldn't know is that it's a decoy house. When people asking for money show up, they'd be directed to a very weird and uncomfortable waiting room and left alone. Once they got uncomfortable enough and decided to leave, they'd be greeting by an intricate series of mazelike hallways, bizarre rooms, and strange doors. When they finally either found their way out (unlikely), or broke down and begged to be let out, someone would go in and escort them off the premises.

isnt cash mostly made of paper?
Forbes should add all the major politicians from all the countries especially the democracies
This is great to know. Will be super helpful when I become a billionaire...
Is this the financial bros' equivalent of a 10 year-veteran of WoW, creating a bunch of new accounts to pawn on them noobs?
People who make billions from criminal activities usually don't show up on the lists published by the business media.
Tell that to SBF's lawyers, lmfao.
Pablo Escobar
IRS would like a word with you
If I was a billionaire I wouldnt want to be on this list
So Blinkest is basically a TLDR service? I think its hard to convey what a book is about without spoiling the story 😅I see it working for educational books but the fun of most stories is not knowing what they are about.
I feel like I would reject or have trouble believing a lot of ideas in books I've read without the accompanying argument.
But I'm not too smart, so maybe I need extra convincing.
OpenAI estimate:
Low Estimate: 2,904 billionaires
Moderate Estimate: 3,300 billionaires
High Estimate: 3,960 billionaires
And why would they wanna be on that list? Money vultures aren’t fun
So true! Wealth has no shortcuts, here are ways to acquire it..🔥
I had decisions that grew my finances (gathered over 1M in 2yrs) with heIp of my financiaI pIanner. Living the dream, hoping to retire next year.g
Elizabeth Greenhunts
get to her with the name
Talking about billionaires, I just want to be a multi millionaire
1) Buy a house
2) Pay off the mortgage over 30 years.
3) Done.
Would recommend Roth IRA or TFSA as well.
Honestly its way less complex than people make it out to be.
Doctors earn a shit ton bruh.
Even as a pharmacologist, you can just earn $250k a year, live in a trailer park throughout your 20's, and invest the money you save cus of the living costs.
Once your set, you can then get the flashy title of millionaire and feel good about yourself, but get cucked the moment you try some elon musk type shit lmfao.
My dad did the same as a programmer. Have some family friends who took the medicine route aswell.
@@honkhonk8009not just doctors but engineers, computer programmers/software developers, car salesman, real estate agent, life insurance agent, people who work in cybersecurity etc
I know a billionaire real estate owner in NYC not even his neighbors know he's a billionaire they know his family owns a few buildings but they don't know how many and the sky scrapers in the city he lives in a apartment building that he owns and combined like ten apt. For himself 😮
Michigan has a lot of stealth wealth, too. I imagine Ohio is the same, weirdly enough.
The scammers wants to be in Forbe while the real rich want to avoid Forbe.
1, Elon Musk
made in china and his company will be tie~
The person who wants to be in Forbes will benefit if the person is a personal brand.
thank this was very helpful
The narrator of How money works is actually a billionaire as well no wonder he never shows his face , YT videos is just a side hobby lol 😉
I wouldn't debate that
IDK about billionaire... but maybe. The Maverick of Wall Street is probably ridiculously wealthy, too. He did the same work for at least as long.
That was very helpful for me, thank you!!! 😛
2:20 are you telling me my dads old boss might be a billionaire?
Edit: oh with 500 million dollar sale he’s almost definitely a billionaire by now
One of the Heineken family motto was Secrecy is success, success is secrecy. Can somebody be a billionaire without having a billion dollars in cash, gold, and real estate? Most of the billionaires are stock billionaires.
Wait North Delors is a an asset protection state? The ones I hear about a lot are Delaware and Wyoming. Hmmm. That’s interesting.
Thank you for the video. I didn’t know you could pay to be on Forbes.
Ask the Rockefellers about what they're worth. Gates copping a cake in the face was amazing.
Didn't he talk about the Rockefellers in that episode about inherentance? I thought the TL:DR was that the family grows faster than the family wealth.
"copping a cake". Australian?
The Rockefellers are wealthy as a family but it’s also a big family. I come from a family that’s technically probably just below the billionaire mark but it’s spread out between so many inheritors, so unevenly divided, and unevenly invested that it’s completely meaningless and ranges from an uncle of mine worth north of 200 mil in his personal PE fund to my grandparents who made extremely conservative investments and kept their part of the business local and thus “only” have a few mil in the bank
Thank you bro you really helped me
Here in Monaco there's at least 6 real estate billionaires that aren't part of any list.
You'd be shocked how many billionaires are in Great Lakes states in the USA.
Political power should have a monetary value on how much someone is worth.
Technically Hedgefund billionaires would be the hardest to verify, think about it if alll they do is trade stocks, commodities, futures etc then how would forbes or Bloomberg ever find out 🤔
Nice tips, very helpful 👍
lol. If I was a billionaire, I wouldn't want to be on the list. If I miraculously won a billion dollar lottery jackpot or hit a speculative gain in that proportion I would move it into a trust account to hide my name.
As a Billionaire (not from USA), I use big credit card. So there is no tax on everything I buy. I just need to pay monthly to the bank that issued that credit cards. We never touch paper money.
To be fair this gives me hope. I thought that becoming a billionaire is really hard and only a few can do it but this proves me wrong.
Thanks for this
You're welcome for this!
