Meet me in Toronto to learn the millionaire or billionaire two-step (thinking moving to Dallas or Florida or Canada for citizenship as it is a much better dancing here).
I will be in Toronto trying to be a white knight and talk to accredited investors, a billionaire family office, and others about Fund of Funds, Venture Capital Funds, and how to play with other billionaires!
Brain Dump for my draft for a Forbes article.
Meeting my good friend from a billionaire family Sunday and Monday to talk about the Billionaire two-step. I hope to watch “Wall Street” with Micheal Douglas with him to understand how to dance with other billionaire families. Let us face it, you have to be a baller to be a billionaire. If you can not stand the dance, sit the game out when other billionaires want to dance on your head. What can you do if you do not know about take-overs, leveraged buyouts, etc.
LITTLE 101 WATCHING COOL MOVIES
Here are my picks to get your 101 training for your family office battles and/or billionaire battle. Watch some movies such as:
