Why Do Rich People Borrow Money? How the Rich Use Debt

Ever wondered why rich people borrow money when they already have millions? Curious Carl did too. 💰 In this episode, Carl investigates how the rich use debt and discovers why being worth millions doesn’t necessarily mean having millions sitting in a bank account. We explore how wealthy people can hold much of their wealth in property, businesses and investments, why selling those assets isn’t always the preferred option, and how borrowing against valuable assets can provide access to cash without necessarily selling them. Carl discovers: The difference between wealth and cash Why wealthy people sometimes borrow instead of selling investments How collateral works Why successful businesses still borrow money What leverage actually means How debt can increase both opportunity and risk What can happen when investments suddenly fall in value Why borrowing money isn’t an unlimited money cheat code Debt can work very differently depending on what you already own — and sometimes being rich is exactly what makes borrowing so useful. 🌎 Welcome to Curious Carl Big questions.
