Everyone asks me, “What rare coins are you buying?” Finally, I’ve decided to partner with @UniversalCoinBu, recognized by the American Numismatic Association as Dealer of the Year, to hand-select a set of rare coins I have confidence in. Rare coins don’t just hold their value

Dubai has a lot to offer… but the Burj Khalifa stands alone.

Buying a home only makes sense if you’re staying put for at least five years. If you’re early in your career, rent close to work. Walk. Save the transit costs and invest them. When you start a family, that’s when you shop for a home in a community that fits your life. Rates

Partners think that by discussing money, it may signal the wrong thing. It may be that they don't have any and they don't want to disclose that, or it may be that they have a bad financial past. And yet, that's exactly what you wanna know. I mean, you have to deal with this

Credit cards aren’t evil, bad discipline is. I use one card with a high limit that I never touch online, one with a $2,500 limit for every online service, and a joint card for shared expenses. That’s it. Most people get crushed at 22–24% interest because they don’t control

Two-thirds of people are broke because they buy stuff they don’t need. Sneakers, shirts, gadgets... none of it makes you wealthy. What does? Saving 15% of your income, killing debt, and investing consistently. It’s boring. That’s why almost no one does it. But the people who do

We’ve all bought things we didn’t need, and never used. The truth? That money could’ve been working for you instead of sitting in your closet. 💸 Start investing smarter with Beanstox: https://t.co/vkeoCfBAvf

Every time I think about this pitch I still get choked up. This was a great example of the power of entrepreneurship and the American dream in this country.

Never hire right away. Offer a six-month contract. Pay them more than market. Give them real responsibility and watch them swim—or sink. If they thrive, congratulations, you found a star. If not, both sides walk away clean. No baggage. Smart business beats polite business.

The awareness of marriage is getting greater and greater in terms of bad outcomes. 50% of marriages fail after seven years, not because of infidelity. It's mostly financial stress. What I liked about the concept is that it forces, in a period of high romantic intensity, a look at

I’ve said it for years: the future of finance is on-chain. StartEngine is moving 400+ real-world assets to ERC-1450. That’s some serious scale. If you want a piece of the platform building this shift, now’s your moment. Visit StartEngine’s site to learn more. 👉 View

After selling The Learning Company for $1.2 billion, I thought I’d travel and relax. That lasted about a week. I was bored out of my mind. What I realized is, money doesn’t drive me anymore. Passion does. Filmmaking, photography, music... that’s what keeps me going.

Most entrepreneurs fail because they can’t admit when something isn’t working. They fall in love with their idea, ignore the market, and drive themselves and their families, straight into the ground. Success comes from humility. You test, you measure, you pivot. Failure isn’t

Gold on green rubber, loud in the best way. Around $25K and absolutely a statement piece. Not for everyone… but if you can carry it, it turns heads (Miami approves). #goldwatch #chronograph

The jury's still out in terms of how much it's going to affect the economy. I tend to think it's the old story about TV is going to kill the radio. Nothing farther from the truth. Radio exists successfully, both terrestrial and from satellites, and so does television, and it too

If you sent me back in time with no money, I’d still choose entrepreneurship. But today, I’d skate to where the puck is going and that’s power. AI, defense, manufacturing, data centers… none of it exists without cheap, secure energy. That’s why I’m spending so much time

Most entrepreneurs think success is about valuations, followers, or the next big idea. It’s not. The real test is simple: Do you have $5 million liquid that you never touch? That’s the discipline most founders never build. They double down on risky ideas, over-invest

I love the chaos. The energy. The thrill of backing a dreamer who becomes a winner. AI will shape the future, sure, but entrepreneurs are the heartbeat of everything exciting. I refuse to live an ordinary life. Investing in great founders keeps me alive.

When I first started offering royalty deals on Shark Tank, everyone laughed, every other Shark said they’d never do that. Seventeen years later, they all do it. Because it works. Royalties de-risk the deal and reward both sides. Now even Mark Cuban’s doing it… took him long

I flew into New York expecting what the new mayor promised: free everything. Free ride? Nope. Free dinner? Nope. Free hotel? Definitely not. What is he, a politician or something? If you campaign on “money for nothing and chicks for free,” you’d think the busses would at least

At the Cantor Conference it became crystal clear: Stablecoins finally have regulatory backing and that changes everything. When AI integrates with retailers... Walmart, McDonald’s, Target, your phone becomes the cashier. Millions of micro-transactions… but no blockchain is fast
