$100M hedge fund manager: Do not make the mistake of dying rich

Bill Perkins joins Shaan Puri and Sam Parr to argue against dying rich. He walks through how he made his money, why risk-taking belongs early in life, and why the name of the game for great investors is staying in the game long enough to keep compounding. From there the conversation turns to the practical machinery of Die With Zero — defining the year your net worth should peak, organizing life into time buckets instead of a bucket list, and crushing the ego that keeps people defending decisions they should abandon. Perkins also covers what he actually spends money on, including a $15 million painting and Sylvester Stallone's art collection, and previews his follow-up book.
