    $200k/Month, a 24,000 Sq Ft House, and a Billion-Dollar Trust. Our Best Moments.

    This is a highlight episode. Three guests. Three completely different relationships with money. All of them more honest than they probably planned to be. Neil Patel wrote a blog post in 2014 saying he could be happy on $15,000 a month. He meant it. We brought him on to find out how that became $200,000 a month — and where it actually goes. The answer involves $35,000 in bed sheets, four homes in Beverly Hills, and donations that dwarf his actual lifestyle spend. Hank — not his real name — built a $3 billion cell phone distribution company, exited in 1996 for $60 million, and eventually found himself standing inside a 24,000 square foot house wondering how it happened. He paid $10 million. Cash. No mortgage. And runs it like a part-time job. He never says his net worth. He doesn't have to. Taylor Adams grew up in a Los Angeles family with over a billion dollars in assets going back to the 1890s. Got sober at 26. Now helps wealthy families avoid destroying what the first generation built. He has a framework for how that destruction happens. He calls it the Four Horsemen. Every one of them sounds like good advice. Three clips. Three moments worth rewinding. This is MoneyWise. FEATURED GUESTS Neil Patel — Founder, Neil Patel Digital & Crazy EggHank — Anonymous.

    Five Founders, Same Exit Value – Wildly Different Payouts

    Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: https://joinhampton.com/ Five founders. Five exits. All around $30 million. So why did one walk away with $30M – and another with just $2M? From taxes and co-founders to deal structure and equity rollovers, the factors that shape a founder's final payout are rarely simple. This episode is your crash course in what really happens when a deal closes. Here’s what we talk about: How Eran Galperin took home ~$30M while still keeping ~50% of his companyWhy Scott Galloway only netted $2–3M from a $33M saleHow Alex Hormozi earned more from distributions than the $31M exit itselfThe ultra-simple, debt-free deal that netted two Canadian brothers $20M eachMarshall Haas’ $18M cash payout – and why he held onto equity for peace of mindWhy the "headline number" often masks the founder’s true financial outcomeThe impact of seller notes, taxes, state residency, and post-sale rolesWhat to consider before you sell to avoid regret or burnoutThe myth of the $1B exit – and how one founder only took home $70M Cool Links: Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Chapters: (0:42) Five Exits, Five Wildly Different Payouts(1:37) Eran Galperin: The Gym Desk Power Play(4:19) Tax Dodges & Seller Notes: Cash Isn’t Always King(5:22) Scott Galloway: $33M Headline, $3M Reality Check(7:39) Alex Hormozi: Gym Launch – Cash Out, Cash In(8:32) The Sinkinson Brothers: Double or Nothing in Canada(11:56) Marshall Haass: The Art of the Partial Exit(13:17) Why Smart Founders Never Sell It All(15:28) Scoreboard Envy: Don’t Get Played This podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.

    Weird Side Bets That Made Founders Millions

    Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: https://joinhampton.com/ Not every smart investment starts with a pitch deck or a business plan. Some of the best returns come from personal bets founders make with their own money.
