so to sum it up, don't do anything, and hope? Because even if you attempt to educate yourself, it'd be like trying to learn to do your own surgery. Not impossible, but...

What i want to really know is what people with a lot of money actually do - and when i say a lot, i meant a lot. networth in excess of 8-9 digits. What do they invest in? What diversification measures do they do? Which country? And finally, how they dodge taxes (as they inevitably seem to be able to - so if you can't defeat 'em, join 'em?)

they invest in businesses/franchises to keep a constant cash flow. that and fixed income due to low risk. taxes are avoided by keeping things offshore unless absolutely necessary to tunnel back to the us.

They usually pay other people to worry about it at that stage .

Put it all in the S&P 500. I lived on a street with a bunch of Wall Street higher ups growing up. They all were Vanguard customers.

Most people, if they’re honest with themselves, don’t have the stomach for a 100% equity portfolio. That includes the intestinal fortitude not to panic and sell when the market drops 50% or more.
