Description
The world's richest people have long been able to maintain their wealth despite taxes and other regulations. How do they manage this? Brooke Harrington's groundbreaking investigation into the men and women who specialize in protecting the fortunes of the ultra-rich reveals the strategies they use to stay ahead of the law. Through a multi-year study, Harrington interviewed wealth managers at eighteen popular tax havens around the world, gaining insight into how they help their high-net-worth clients avoid taxes, creditors, and disgruntled heirs. By understanding these tactics, governments can develop targeted policies to address inequality.
