How the Wealthy Use Life Insurance to Build Real Wealth
When most people think of life insurance, they think death benefit. But the wealthy? They think strategy.
Here’s how high-net-worth individuals use life insurance as a secret weapon to grow, protect, and transfer wealth:
- Leverage: Permanent life insurance policies like Whole Life or Indexed Universal Life (IUL) allow you to borrow against your policy while it continues to grow. That means you can use it like a private bank — to invest, fund businesses, or make big moves without liquidating assets.
- Tax Shelter: Cash value inside a life insurance policy grows tax-deferred. Withdrawals (structured properly) can even be tax-free. Translation? It’s a legit way to hide money from Uncle Sam.
- Legacy Planning: The wealthy don’t just leave money behind. They leave systems. Life insurance is often the foundation of a trust, guaranteeing generational wealth gets passed down the right way.
- Financial Protection: Bonus — your policy can protect your income and your family now, while doubling as a future funding tool for retirement, college tuition, or real estate.
This is exactly what I break down in Chapter 4 of my book: A Toolkit for Raising Wealthy Kidz — a practical guide to building family wealth with strategy and intention.
