A few days later I sat down with a Morgan Stanley advisor expecting a playbook. I got 30 minutes of the same recommendation he gives someone with $100K in a 401(k): 90% stocks and bonds, 10% cash. He wasn't a bad advisor. He was giving me the only thing the industry is built to give someone at my level. That's how I found the financial dead zone. Retail finance serves people under $1 million. Family offices serve people over $100 million. If you're somewhere in between, you're paying about 1% a year for advice you could get out of ChatGPT. So I studied how ultra-wealthy families actually run their money, then rebuilt it at my scale.

I explain why the order matters more than any single strategy.","meta_description":"In 2012 my company IPO'd and I watched my net worth go up $3 million in a matter of minutes.
