There are three things that will destroy your hard–earned wealth faster than anything else: income taxes, lawsuits, and estate taxes. The wealthy know this and use the kind of strategies found in this book to protect their fortunes. Unfortunately, most people focus on playing "offense" with their money, and forget all about protecting it by playing financial defense—until they get blindsided. Trump University Asset Protection 101 gives you the power to protect and grow your wealth at the same time, no matter how much or how little you have in the bank.

This wealth–maximizing guide is written by professional financial advisor to the wealthy, J.J. Childers. He shows you how to tap into the powerful secrets the wealthy have always used to protect their assets for themselves and their families.

Customer Reviews

A good basic course in protecting your assets
Donald Trump has branded a core set of texts on personal finance that will probably sell quite well thanks to the power of his imprimatur. In that role, Trump has provided a generic two-paragraph foreword for all the books in this series. The author, J.J. Childers, offers a good basic text that explains the whys and hows of arranging assets to protect them from lawsuits and taxes, particularly estate taxes, in the U.S. He also discusses how to keep more money by structuring your wealth properly. This is all great advice, but the book's real value is that it makes you aware of these basic personal finance concepts, and gets you strategizing clearly about how to hang on to - and protect - your earnings. getAbstract finds some good advice in this primer on asset protection, though you may want to supplement it with more advanced materials as you develop a deeper understanding of this important subject.
