Who doesnt want to be a billionaire?
Were talking private equity or venture capital, Kamel said.
Then they sell the company or take it public to cash in on the higher value.
OK, so this is a lot.
Were talking like calculus-level money moves.
The same goes for venture capital, which Kamel described as Shark Tank, but for startups.
If it tanks, well billionaires can afford to take that hit, Kamel said.
And thats why it would be far too risky to invest your money like billionaires do.
Billionaires dont have to be quite as sensitive when it comes to risk.
If youre anything less than a billionaire, this could sink you forever.
But billionaires can absorb such a loss.
They can lose millions without it affecting their lifestyle, Kamel said.
Billionaires can borrow money and use their investments as collateral to get that money at a low rate.
We dont have this luxury.
Do you have that kind of influence over the markets?
But theyre generally not advising billionaires.
Millionaires and all wealth tiers below them must diversify.
But for the average investor like you and me, diversification is the key.
