Were talking private equity or venture capital, Kamel said.

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.

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.

Millionaires and all wealth tiers below them must diversify.
