The rise of the family office

You’re an entrepreneur who has worked for decades to build your business. Then someone comes along and offers you $30 million for it. After the last champagne bottle is drained, the new Bentley is in the garage and you’re back from the Bora Bora vacation, you start to realize there’s a big difference between running a company worth $30 million and managing $30 million in disposable cash. Taking care of that wealth is a business in itself.
