I play tennis with a French guy in his late 60s — quiet, low-key, obviously wealthy. Old money.
One morning he shows up late, wrecked from a night reviewing contracts. He’s selling a property in Paris and buying one in the south of France — but not in his own name. He’s doing it through a family office instead.
That one decision unlocks five real advantages over just owning property outright: inheritance tax avoidance (legally), consolidating every kind of asset — shares, gold, bonds, even crypto — total privacy, access to private equity and pre-IPO deals, and wealth that can outlast generations.
In this episode of the Old Money Series, I break down how family offices actually work, why they’re usually reserved for the very rich, and why countries — including Malaysia — are now competing to attract them.
