Jackie breaks down exclusive data from 127 millionaire founders inside Hampton, revealing how motivation, money management, and mindset evolve as net worth grows, from $1M to over $100M.
Here’s what we talk about:
- Why financial security stops being a motivator after $50M—and what takes its place
- The "F*** You" number: What real numbers show is the threshold for total financial freedom
- Wealth allocation shifts: Crypto disappears, bonds and real estate dominate at the ultra-high end
- Surprising insights into monthly cash burn, and how spending changes (or doesn’t) across net worth tiers
- Take-home income jumps dramatically past $50M—especially at the $100M+ level
- Time vs. money: Wealthier founders are working fewer hours, but that doesn’t guarantee happiness
- What motivates founders at every stage—and why some feel lost after hitting their big number
- Real quotes from founders like Brian Johnson and Alex Peykoff on why they build, invest, and spend the way they do
$50M is when founders stop caring about money entirely. Want to see what other millionaire money secrets we uncovered in the full report? https://www.joinhampton.com/wealth-report
