Out of curiosity, what is your driver for going to the US? Depending where you go, you can go a lot further on $500k USD overseas than being stateside.

A green card opens you up to US tax liability on all of your investments globally.

Irrespective of green card, if you are an US resident according to substantial presence test then you owe taxes to IRS on global income.
