How the ULTRA HIGH Net Worth Invest (and spend)

Josh Olfert, CFP - How the ULTRA HIGH Net Worth Invest (and spend)

In this video, Josh, who runs an independent wealth management practice, explores a survey conducted by Join Hampton, a business created by Sam Parr. The survey examines how wealthy founders manage their finances, surveying 127 individuals with a net worth ranging from $1 million to several hundred million dollars. The majority of these individuals are first-generation wealth builders, with 87% having owned a business and only 6% gaining wealth through investment returns alone. The survey reveals that most wealthy individuals aim to double or triple their net worth, especially those with $1 million to $20 million. However, those with $20 million to $50 million are less focused on increasing their wealth further. The video also discusses how wealth allocation changes with net worth, with wealthier individuals investing more in real estate and less in public stocks and cash. Additionally, the survey highlights that many wealthy individuals do not use financial advisors, preferring to manage their finances independently. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of financial planning and estate planning, especially as individuals accumulate more wealth and have more dependents.

Key Points:

  • 87% of surveyed wealthy individuals owned a business, while only 6% gained wealth through investments alone.
  • Wealthy individuals with $1 million to $20 million aim to double or triple their net worth, while those with $20 million to $50 million are less focused on growth.
