Best meme I saw in the last 7 days. HANDS DOWN.

The Founding Fathers of America were shockingly young.

The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company. This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18. Hell yeah.

What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Asked this question in Hampton's Slack community since we have people worth $10m - $2b. A few takeaways from the 50+ replies: $50k – $100k liquid • The first “I feel rich” for many in 20s. • Bills stop hurting. You breathe. • $1M net worth rarely changes anything. In high-cost cities, it’s just “comfortable professional.” Still very income-dependent. $10M liquid - This is the first real unlock. • Safety net feels permanent • You stop looking at the right side of the menu • Business-class by default, 5 hotels when you want • You can cover friends’ flights to make trips happen • Life doesn’t run you anymore. $20M–$25M liquid: • “I can spend $50k/mo forever and still compound.” • Nicer primary home (or rent ultra-nice; fewer ownership headaches) • Staff for convenience (nanny, cleaners) • Family support start to be normal, not “splurge” $50M liquid • Cash flow is thick and hard to fully redeploy. • 2nd homes, extended travel • Serious privacy planning begins • You’re learning trusts, tax vehicles, and who to not trust $100M: • Life becomes frictionless. • Fly private often (some buy; many rent because ownership is work) • Full household team + exec assistants + specialists • Family office(s), capital allocation becomes a job • You choose projects; problems get solved without you Past $100M • personal lifestyle doesn’t change much—scale and privacy do. • Land for privacy buffers • Private gyms/courts/spas at home • You’ll never fly commercial unless you want to $1 billion • Money becomes institutional. • You never see a bill • Global properties, fully private travel • Governments, universities, and CEOs court you • It’s legacy season: foundations, endowments, monuments A few real anecdotes from the thread: • A billionaire bought a pro sports team mid-flight on his jet. His right-hand guy became COO. • A friend group dropped $200k–$300k on a yacht week just to get everyone together. • Multiple members set up dual family offices (JPM + independent) to manage life + investments. The biggest trap everyone warned about: • “Coming into money without accomplishing anything is a curse.” • Lottery-winner energy breaks people. Purpose > purchases. Cash flow > net worth (psychologically). • Even people with $50M–$100M feel “poor” during low-cashflow years. Meaning, even if you have a high net worth -- if your business income goes away even if you don't need it, it feels horrible. Mentally brutal. What actually brings joy at scale: • Buying back time (coaches, chefs, pilots, concierge) • Funding memories (fly the whole crew, pick up every tab) • Being present (one member took a year as a stay-at-home dad - “wouldn’t trade it for anything”) What gets old fast: • More “stuff” to manage • Identity tied to net worth • Chasing bigger dopamine (toys) instead of deeper meaning (health, family, service, community) -- Ok, that's it - that's my ChatGPT summary of all the replies!

This is good.

Ok so I guess zuck is pretty cool now.

lol this is so funny. Sticker mule ceo doesn’t get it. Not buying stuff from them again.

This is horrible leadership. I’m on board with strict borders. But mocking them? This is embarrassing and shameful.

bruh

This is insane. Makes me ashamed of nyc. And fearful. Mamdani is a fool.

This is good.

I damn near almost forgot: Elon Musk is a cofounder of OpenAI. Wild.

You're buying your end of the world car. A vehicle that, sh*t goes down, you can use to escape. Has to be under $100k, mostly stock, and can last 20 years. What you getting?

This is horrible leadership. I’m on board with strict borders. But mocking them? This is embarrassing and shameful.

Would you quit your job if you were paid $50 for each mile you run?

Lots of Americans vacationing in Europe say the same thing: - I didn’t eat healthy (they normally eat healthy in USA) - I ate a lot. - I walked normal amounts. And yet: - they lose weight - feel better (less full, less achy). Any data on why? And What about your

Trent Reznor from Nine Itch Nails has this cool interview about how when Johnny Cash recorded Trent’s song Hurt, Trent said “welp I knew right away after hearing it that song was now Johnnys.” I love trying to find songs where the original was dope but the new guys who cover it make it theirs. Two others that come to mind. Guns N’ Roses doing bob Dylan’s knocking on heaven doors. I know crazy to think Guns N’ Roses out did bob but I think it’s true. Another is Elvis’s version of unchained melody by the righteous brothers. Elvis made that shit his. What are some other cool examples?

What’s the one health and wellness product that has made the biggest impact on your life?

I want the ultimate man novel. I know that sounds a little homoerodic, but I don’t know a better way to say it. A page turning, thrilling novel about man shit. Adventure, action, being a high integrity man. A book every man should mean. Gimme some guy shit novel ideas.

The Founding Fathers of America were shockingly young.

Name a book you read in one sitting. Any topic. I need a page turner.

A hill I will die on: Buying a a home is almost always not a great financial investment. yes, even taking into account leverage. looking at averages, investing in SP500 is more profitable (on average). and also, that's ok! buy because its a great emotional ivnestment.

Bridgewater (4% returns) vs index funds (18%). I'm not saying you can't beat the market. But Bridgewater is a hedge fund with 2,000 employees. Some of the smartest, highest paid people on earth who spend 20 hours a day + billions on tools/research. And they, and many just like them, struggle to beat it.

One of my money rules: don’t pay more than $50 for sunglasses. I lose or break em fast and like having many pairs stashed away in convenient places (car, gym bag, etc). What are your fav sub $50 sunglasses? Still can’t find perfect quality lenses. Good news is that stylish…

OK I want something I've never, EVER asked for: a motivational book. GASP. Yeah, I wanna get pumped the f*ck up. I wanna read something that'll get me fired up to do more. WHAT YA GOT.

This shit is gonna be so popular.
