My guest today is Richard Wilson. Richard is the Founder and CEO of The Family Office Club, which is the #1 family office association with over 4,000 registered family offices. On episode 525 with Michael Sonnenfeldt, we discussed how billionaires often grow their wealth through owning assets - usually their own business and how once they sell that asset for cash, they’re often at a loss for how to invest it. Well, Richard helps billionaires figure that out. He’s set up over 200 family offices, put on 150 events with billionaire speakers, written 13 books and is currently on track to interview 100 billionaires to garner the essence of their success. We chose to focus in on his top 5 favorite books, written by billionaires and we tease out the lessons from each one.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:08:17 - What a family office is and how it works 00:13:55 - The first thing you should focus on when setting one up 00:29:32 - Insights from billionaire keynotes from his events, including Jeff Hoffman, Grant Cardone and others 00:35:57 - Key lessons from Richard’s top 5 billionaire books 00:43:18 - The strategies that Richard finds most useful ✔️ Subscribe to the We Study Billionaires channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WeStudyBillionaires  🎧 Listen to our episodes here: https://open.spotify.com/show/28RHOkXkuHuotUrkCdvlOP 🖊️ Access our free show notes and transcript here: https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/episodes/the-top-5-billionaire-books-w-richard-wilson/ 📖 BOOKS MENTIONED: - Influence by Robert Cialdini: https://amzn.to/41GSVbV - The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks: https://amzn.to/3ZsHpPn - What It Takes by Stephen Schwarzman: https://amzn.to/3EHExGd - How to Win at the Sport of Business by Mark Cuban: https://amzn.to/3IUkrey - The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone: https://amzn.to/3IyE0rs Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links that we may earn commission from.
