Illiquid Assets and Over-investing in Yourself

Published: April 23, 2024, 11 a.m.

b"If you\\u2019re already living the lifestyle you want, what is the point of liquid assets?\\nIs there too much risk in tying up the vast majority of your assets?\\nAnd more importantly, if you already have far more money than you\\u2019ll ever need, what is the purpose in continuing to invest for the future when you could be enjoying that money in the present?\\n\\u201cDave\\u201d is worth about $150 million, yet he lives on a $600,000 salary that doesn\\u2019t even cover his monthly spend. Instead of using his existing wealth, he\\u2019s keeping most of it tied up in private businesses, angel investments, crypto, real estate, and a very small public portfolio. But why?\\n\\u201cDave\\u201d is in the early stages of an experiment where he massively over invests in himself, just to see what he can do. That also includes hiring a personal team so he doesn\\u2019t have to lift a finger with home chores.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, \\u201cDave\\u201d will walk us through why he\\u2019s living this way, how it impacts how he can spend his money, and we\\u2019ll get a detailed breakdown of exactly where all of his money is and how much he has access to. He\\u2019ll also tell us about his experiment: why he\\u2019s running it, what it actually looks like, and how it\\u2019s working out.\\nThis is Moneywise, a podcast where host Sam Parr is joined by high-net-worth guests to explore exclusive insights into personal finance and lifestyle tailored for other high-net-worth people, or those on their way.
