Congratulations! You've made it! ... well, sort of. All that’s left to do now is make sure your fortune is secure for generations to come (and not lost as quickly as it was made).
But before you can enjoy the high life, you are going to need to first check-off a few things. Luckily you are in the right place. So, take out your notepad and pen, this is the first video in a two-part series on how to become the master of your finances.

I remember an interview when a local scholar on global relationship spoke of why some states are independent and not absorbed into a larger unions
He remarked
That's because larger countries see benefits for leaving those small countries independent
For example Malta launders money for Russia
Monaco for France
San Marino for Italy
Lichtenstein for Germany...
Switzerland for Germany, Italy, and France...
BTW they do not launder money for the country. They launder money for corrupt politicians.
And the US?
@@mujtabaalam5907 Panama? Cayman Islands? Just guessing though, The US only bordures two countries and they’re both quite large.

Here's how it works in the Art World:
Step 1: John Doe is an art dealer. He persuades his friends Alice and Bob to buy works by an up and coming young artist, for $2 million each, on the understanding that they will be a good investment.
Step 2: Over the next few years, John Doe uses his position to hype the artist. He hires people to write about the artist in academic journals, organises exhibitions, helps the artist to 'win' prizes, etc.
Step 3: John Doe puts some of the artist's works into auctions, and bids the prices up with the help of friends. As he is ultimately buying from himself, the only cost is the auctioneer's commission.
Step 4: Ten years later, Alice and Bob own works that are worth, on paper at least, $10 million.
Step 5: In the meantime, Alice has just pulled off the real estate deal of a lifetime, and made a huge profit. Unfortunately, she now owes the IRS $10 million.
Step 6: She decides to donate the painting to her local modern art museum. The trustees are happy to state it's value at $10 million. The IRS accepts the valuation and allows Alice to write of her $10 million tax bill. She is now a noted philanthropist, and she gets a wing of the museum named after her.
Step 7: Bob, on the other hand, isn't doing so well. He needs cash quick, but he can't sell his painting on the open market - because it isn't worth very much without John Doe manipulating the price.
Step 8: Bob goes to his bank and asks for a loan, using the painting as collateral. However, the bank wants an independent assessment of its value, so they ask a world expert on this particular artist - John Doe. John Doe confirms that, based on previous auction prices, it's worth $10 million.
Step 9: The bank agrees to lend Bob 70% of the value - $7 million.
Step 10: So Alice has saved herself $10 million in taxes from an initial outlay of $2 million. And Bob has gotten himself $7 million to play with from an initial outlay of $2 million.

Wow man, now I know just what to do with the 100 million I have lying around.
how you know that
I think I like the disclaimer even more than the explanation
This type of laundering also causes the other artists who are genuinely trying to fail :/
so in other words...
it's basically value assessment fraud???
it’s so miraculous how engaging these vids are with just stock footage
That's why writing a video script can cost many times as much as producing the video itself.
Thanks mate!
Nothing makes me happier as I do my job making deliveries around town watching homeless people live under bridges knowing that the wealthy have figured out how to avoid contributing to society by avoiding taxes
Complex tax laws and high taxation brackets make a powerful combo that both allows for and disincentivizes paying taxes. Homeless people don’t get better off with higher taxation rates, you can look for LA for that.
I absolutely love seeing the stories about low-tier earners winning the lottery. They win $50M, and are broke within 5 years. What happens if you give a homeless person $40k? They'll spend it all within a month, then return to their sleeping bag in front of the Walgreens on Skid Row. And relying on your government to fix this "problem" is downright insane. When has any government program been completely successful, and stayed within the outlined budgets?
@@MultipliedByZero I hate the lottery, I used to work at a gas station and I never took the time to learn anything about the lottery. Some customers would ask me why I didn't know anything about it, they weren't ever too happy when I'd tell them to there face "if you're bad with money now you'll be bad with money when you have 70 million dollars, winning the lottery will not improve your life".
Governments don't need to increase taxes nor get more taxes from billionaires to cure homelessness. They just need to trim spending in other areas and they'll have enough funds.
Example: In the UK, the homeless charity Crisis estimates if the Government trimmed 5% of Trident spending (approx. £10 Billion) they could end homelessness in 10 years.
Even if it cost double that, it would still be a tiny percentage of overall Government spending across all departments.
Pressure Governments to do that first, then if you want extra welfare reforms THEN look to the 0.1%
Its not that simple. See italy for example. Higher tax rates actually leads to lower total tax revenue. Also, about a third of the economy is informal, on which taxation is impossible, all due to the higher tax rates.
'If you ever want to buy a super yacht or politician....'😂 he gottem
Glad someone picked up on that :)
@@EconomicsExplained I was watching it on 2 times speed so I had to do a double take😂. But really love the videos keep up the amazing work👍
Economics Explained
What about:
Buying a politician a yacht to buy the politician
It's harder to take out a line of credit on a politician, but it's got just as much luxury value and sometimes provides a good financial return on investment
buying politicians are harder, buying votes on issues 1 at a time is more accurate.
A rich firm doesn't say to politician x, vote on everything we like for money, rather they find a politician that largely agrees with them and gives them money to ensure loyalty and build relationships that way, a bit more mutual. Now if there is a certain emergency vote that they cannot use these more long-term strategy on, then they start bribing/mud-slinging attack ads instead since that's the one goal.
I work in a Financial Crimes unit of a financial services company and it feels so pointless. Most laundering is done through legal means and laws against it really just enrich middle-men like lawyers, accountants, and personal bankers. Seeing it first hand just makes me think most tax laws either need to be harmonized or just given up on because the only people paying tax are those with modest salaries. My firm has sooo many Caymans and Malta registered businesses that one would think those two countries have the worlds most advanced economies. It’s just so much nonsense.
smimathy smable honest question, does that make you question what your doing trying to “fight crime”??
I'm not a historian or anything per se..but..." I never saw Kings pay any tax...". Taxes were made and for the poor\middle class. They don't have the power to fight it or change it. The rich does. Surprise surprise, you get tax havens and companies paying less taxes (like Blizzard!) than the average man.
why do you think billionaires dump so much money into grassroots 'anti-globalist' and 'anti-new-world-order' groups. Average people are easily scared off world wide regulations that would never effect them, and they vote.
How does one go about getting a job like yours ?
Well keep up the good word, just remember there would be a lot more people getting away with a low worse if it wasn't for people like you.
You and your team are so good!! Thanks for the continuous stream or great content. I also enjoy the funny touches here and there "to buy things like a house, or a politician, .." 😂
Really great video. Very informative, well put together. Like all your videos! I can't say I fully understand it, but I certainly get the gist of it and have at least a foundation to learn more. This is the sort of stuff that can radicalise a person
"money laundering"

I once found $40 left in an atm. Yes I took it, but I also washed it when I got home because I don’t trust like that
You joke but my dad has started doing this lately for change he receives from grocers. Because of corona and all.
@@hamesjetfield0 scary but true.
I think the word money laundering actually did come from people throwing crisp bills into washing machines in order to make them look worn and used.

I will be the annoying one in the chat but I will say it. I replied to you first. 1st
You said that one can exchange only equivalent of $50000 of Chinese currency to foreign currency a calendar year, but you said that $1 billion can be moved in 3 years this way. Maths doesn't seem to add up.
Last time I was this early we used sea shells for bartering.
So for the ELOC's, how are they paying their bills from the bank itself? I'm assuming if they get any dividends that contributes to it, but for larger bills do they just sell off shares?
hey i have a query,
so u told to pay a travel agent a 100 million for the casino chips, wont the IRS or any tax enforcement agency ask where did the money come from. and i know it is from illegal business.
thank you in advance
Marty Byrde should watch this before season 4.
This wasn't even really money laundering. I was hoping this video would explain something, but it didnt.
The gist of it seem to be to fake how much money you make, by registering many more customers than there are, and so on. Then to get the money out you fake buy a lot of stuff from fake companies, and then you got your clean money.
Casinos should make that much easier, and work much higher quantities.
Good one
Wouldn't it be funny if this gets written into the script...?
Wow! Amazing explanation. I have learned alot from this video.
Very nice video. You just made it easy.

Aside from part 2, the one u promised to do on how art can b used to store wealth, I request a video on how philanthropic organizations are used in economic crimes particularly money laundering and tax evasion
Has already been explained by a chap in the comments section hapo juu (up there) talking about tax evasion using Art.
Modern, contemporary art (overpricing, and then donating for tax reduction, or getting a loan on it by a bank, effectively free money)
Charity organizations and funds (inheritance tax evasion)
Just to name 2 more example
This video series makes me regret not getting into economics before.
I may have already asked this, but can you do a video on philanthropic organizations

I'll just add that most of protective measures against money laundering today are reactive, not proactive. You would be surprised by how sloppy a bank can be in terms of doing due diligence.
Loved the cheer at the end for the info proving useful when we make our future fortunes. Kind of put things in perspective for me in a real hurry. As in, how far away I am from knowing how to be rich. ... I have to go work now:(

This was really interesting! Thank you.
Last time I was this early, coughing was still normal...
Now imagine that the security/asset appreciates more than interest rate on the ELOC. Awesome financial engineering.
If your investment doesn't even cover a 1% interest rate, you might as well stick you cash in a bunker.
This also shows that the "low interest rate because asset is so secure"-argument is bullshit. The bank could buy the asset themself for the same amount and would make more money from it.
@@vampir753 Bank does not want your house, or any other assets. Their assets are cash money services. Thats why many foreclosured houses were in bad condition after 2008.

ELOCs sound like a great hedge against inflation too: cash becomes pointless when you have enough credit, so let the plebes hold the bag (cash, that is) while central banks keep pumping up the supply and inflating the price of your assets. (Unless you're Buffet and can outsmart the market).
If cash is for plebes, why is buffet/Berkshire Hathaway hoarding $137Billion in cash?
Jameel Ja I don’t think it’s cash money but digital money
@@JJs_playground so they LIQUIDITY to buy dear. They need to swiftly buy companies at a discount. A fire sell. That means they need be in position to do so without also negotiating a loan. Given Buffet helping bailout banks previously, he can't afford to depend on anyone bank to have the capital to leverage when he needs it most.
Also why the Fed and all associated financiers could care less about encouraging savings and holders. They want you leveraging that big fat credit line they got out to the banks. They want risk right now. Because of deflation.
Is it me, or has the sequel to this video disappeared completely???

I needed this.... for reasons.
"Honesty is incompatible with amassing a large fortune." -Mohandas Gandhi
"Behind every great fortune there is a crime." -Honoré de Balzac
"Money is the loot of all weasels." -Louis Rukeyser
This is told to poor people to placate them. Money is not inherently evil, nor is the want to acquire it. You can absolutely make large amounts of money without doing anything illegal. It requires charisma, time, work and a heavy scoop of luck, but it's absolutely possible.
This is utter bs. You become rich by solving a problem in a market not by being a criminal. How ever I bet it helps to finnagle taxes.
I'm a temporarily embarrassed billionaire and I approve of these loopholes. My boss assures me that so long as I work at minimum wage and do several more hours of forced, unpaid overtime every day my ship will come in.
My landlord is so nice as he assures me that the $100-above-market rent I pay will eventually go to replacing the heater, pipes and windows of my place. He told me he's working hard at the casino trying to multiple that money when he wins at the slot machines.
My phone company is nice too. For only $50 a month they'll block collectors' calls from mid-night to 2am.
I just have to repeat to myself "my ship will come in" because 40 years of trickle-down economics is bound to be a flood... right?
Yes. Fight the good fight and defend the mega wealthy's right to exploitation, bc one day soon you will be mega wealthy too
Need more video about this topic.. 😊 nice content .. 👏🖒
Thx so much for education.
Putting your time, effort and activities in things and ideas that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for!!
Factual error, at least according to accounting rules in Australia. When a patron buys $100m chips, loses $1m and redeem $99m, the revenue for the casion is only $1m, not $100m.
I think he may have been referring to turn over
In America, the revenue is what you take in, so the revenue is $100 million, but the profit is $1 million
You realised most of what he said was bit textbook rather than reality right
Super video!
