Imagine waking up one day to find nearly everything you've worked for is gone.  Today’s guest, Domenic, lived through that nightmare. His story begins at Facebook, where he was one of the early employees during the dawn of the social media era. He wisely took as much equity as possible, which paid off handsomely when the company went public. Despite his newfound wealth, a series of unfortunate decisions—risky investments, a poorly negotiated acquisition, and unforeseen personal losses—led him to lose nearly everything he had earned. Domenic’s tale is not just about loss but about resilience. From growing up in a modest household in Southern Virginia to navigating the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley, he shares his experiences of building wealth, facing devastating setbacks, and the philosophy that keeps him moving forward.

This is not a normal episode, this is better. We’ve heard how much Moneywise listeners love the transparency we get from our guests, so we’ve gone a step further. We sent out a survey to all Hampton members and got hundreds of responses detailing things like how much money they have, how they spend it, what their family situation is, if they have debt and how much, etc. etc. etc.  And we’re giving all of this information away for free at joinhampton.com/wealth. Sam explains more.

Last year, Mike Beckham donated 1 million dollars.  This year, he's setting his sights even higher. He wants to give away 50% of his annual income. And that's not all—his company, Simple Modern, with a valuation of around 350 million dollars, also allocates 10% of its profits each year to charitable causes. Mike's journey to philanthropy has been shaped by a deep-rooted commitment to making a difference. Despite starting his career in the nonprofit sector, he discovered his knack for business growth and decided to leverage his skills to amplify his impact. So he left the nonprofit world and built Simple Modern. For Mike, donating his money is about more than just creating a positive impact in the world (although that is a big part). Mike has found that donating his money helps him refrain from spending that doesn’t bring happiness to his life, and allows him to have more success in the most important part of his life: his relationships with others.  In this episode of Moneywise, Mike will explain all of the benefits of donating. He’ll make the personal and financial cases, including how it’s helped his business succeed. He’ll also give tips on donating effectively, especially if you’re just starting. And as usual, Mike will explain how he made all his money, how he spends it, and give us all the dollar details.

Being born rich sounds like a dream, but it’s almost like being born at the finish line, with no race left to run. If we’ve learned anything in this podcast so far, it’s that money alone doesn’t bring happiness. Life needs purpose. But when you already have access to everything you could possibly need, finding that purpose can be difficult. So, how do we ensure our children inherit not just wealth, but also the drive to make something meaningful out of their lives? How do we shield them from the pitfalls of affluence, like aimlessness and substance abuse? Taylor Adams has dedicated his life to helping parents successfully pass on their wealth to the next generation with his company Belief Partners. He believes that a large part of happiness comes from the act of adding value to the world around you, feeling like you matter. He works to empower parents to instill in their children the importance of adding value to the world, of feeling like they matter beyond their bank accounts Taylor knows the feeling of being aimless all too well. Born into a multi-generational billionaire family, he himself has experienced the luxury, pressure, and burden of wealth.  In this episode, Taylor bares all, offering his personal narrative alongside professional research and strategies for navigating the complexities of inherited wealth. From finding purpose to avoiding the traps of excess, Taylor equips affluent parents with the tools they need to raise grounded, fulfilled individuals. Alongside Taylor, we’ll also hear from Jane. In contrast to Taylor’s strong recommendation to set up a trust for your kids, Jane’s parents paid for necessities through her life, but will pass on their wealth through a lump sum inheritance of roughly $20 million. She’ll tell us how their wealth impacted her life, how she found purpose in her own career and family, and how the knowledge of inheritance has affected her.

If you’re already living the lifestyle you want, what is the point of liquid assets? Is there too much risk in tying up the vast majority of your assets? And more importantly, if you already have far more money than you’ll ever need, what is the purpose in continuing to invest for the future when you could be enjoying that money in the present? “Dave” is worth about $150 million, yet he lives on a $600,000 salary that doesn’t even cover his monthly spend. Instead of using his existing wealth, he’s keeping most of it tied up in private businesses, angel investments, crypto, real estate, and a very small public portfolio. But why? “Dave” is in the early stages of an experiment where he massively over invests in himself, just to see what he can do. That also includes hiring a personal team so he doesn’t have to lift a finger with home chores.  In this episode, “Dave” will walk us through why he’s living this way, how it impacts how he can spend his money, and we’ll get a detailed breakdown of exactly where all of his money is and how much he has access to. He’ll also tell us about his experiment: why he’s running it, what it actually looks like, and how it’s working out.

If you have the money to put anything you could possibly want in your home, should you do it? This episode’s guest, “Hank” did, and as a result, his home ended up being 24,000 square feet. But with 24,000 square feet, there is a lot to go wrong. So are the upkeep, repairs, and bills worth the square footage? Can a home with all the fancy features you can imagine actually bring more joy to your life? Building (or buying) a house this size is no small feat, and there are numerous things to consider before pulling the trigger, such as your stage in life, your family situation, and how much you enjoy your free time. In this episode we explore the mega house. We’ll learn about who this type of home is for, the pros, the cons, and all the caveats to be aware of. And this is Moneywise, so we’ll get into all the nitty gritty numbers to learn how “Hank” can afford a home this massive and all of the expenses associated with it. He’ll also share if he ever plans on moving. We even speak with Ryan Thewes, an architect who designs private residences in the Nashville area. He shares the most commonly requested features, the type of clients he typically gets, and the coolest things he’s ever designed. And we have him answer the question: Would you ever move into one of these mega mansions yourself?

The point of money is to make life easier. To give you security, comfort, and the ability to do the things that make you happy. So if you’ve made enough to take care of that for life, you can just stop making more… right? Retiring early is a dream for many, but what happens when you actually do it? In this episode we explore the story of two guests who did just that, though they came about it in different ways. Our first guest, “Ryan”, made over $20 million after selling his business, then decided to step away from working and enjoy his money. “Jeff” however, made his money in a series of smaller sales and soon realized he had accumulated enough where his investments outperformed his work income. Since retiring, both “Ryan” and “Jeff” have gone through similar stages of appreciation, loss, and rediscovering purpose in their lives.  In this episode, we explore the ups and downs of retiring early, how much money they have that allows them to live off their investments and what they do with it. They’ll tell us about the external pressure to start something new, how they dealt with the feelings of loss, and what they do with their time now. Check out Ryan’s blog After The Exit.

Imagine being worth $150 million. Liquid.  Now imagine being worth that much, and only spending $5,000 a month. That’s the reality for this episode’s guest. “Cam” is going to share a lot of financial details with us, so he’s asked to remain anonymous. What we can tell you, is that he made most of his money when a business he started went public at a valuation of around a billion dollars. That happened in his late 30s.  In his early 30s, Cam was still only worth a couple grand. There’re a lot of crazy stories in between that we’ll hear about in this episode. Including how his first million was almost accidental. We’ll also explore why Cam’s monthly spend is so low, how his value of privacy and the impact money has on relationships plays into that, and where that $5k goes every month. On top of that, we’ll get into the nitty gritty about how he’s saving and investing the rest of his money, as well as the kind of spending that brings Cam genuine joy.

There was a time when Neil Patel said a $15k/month burn rate was all he needed. But now his monthly burn is $200k. Roughly. He’s not completely certain… because he doesn’t budget. So what changed in his life to make his burn rate increase nearly 14 fold? That’s what this episode is going to find out. Neil Patel is a household name (for marketers). He’s an entrepreneur and blogger known for his expertise in digital marketing and SEO.
