Patrick Bet-David reflects on how his perspective changed as his wealth grew from his first $10,000 to much larger milestones.

Using families like the Medici, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts as examples, PBD argues that generational wealth depends not just on making money, but on teaching the habits, discipline, and values required to keep it.
