$2.5 billion+: $1,052,679 - $2,475,000

The wealthiest families in the world hold secrets that are passed down through the generations

Educational secrets that even the most exclusive schools don’t teach

Wealthy families rarely rely on schools to teach kids about finance

Family offices curate exclusive financial education programs. Programs delivered through private agencies, Ivy League universities and specialist organizations

12 lessons on financial education from Family Offices:

(and tips for any family)

🧵

Lesson 1: be open

Successful UHNW multi-generational families talk about money. They are not coy

It’s part of everyday life to talk about business, wealth and money. Business-talk at the dinner table is encouraged

Wealth brings opportunities and problems. But if wealth is a taboo subject, opportunities will be missed and problems exacerbated

A lot of people think they are helping their kids by shielding them from financial matters. But like any topic, to master it, you need to be consistently exposed to it

Lesson 2: start young

That doesn’t mean telling wealthy toddlers their net worth

It means teaching kids about:

- the history of the family wealth
- the scope of the wealth
- the family values

As they get older, focus can shift to areas such as budgeting and saving. Then investing, tax, credit, finance, philanthropy

Kindergartens and schools don’t teach finance... It’s on you
