About This Episode
Us common people, we are not supposed to know about family offices. People who know are the top 1% in the world.
In our very first episode, Vicky and Benn break down what a family office actually is, who it’s for, and what happens when your kids don’t want to take over the business. Then: is AI the next dot-com bubble? We follow the money loop between Big Tech and AI firms, and look at a real Malaysian case of how debt can turn into a domino effect.
Hosted by Vicky Tan and Benn Lee. Produced by Nic Lee. New episode every Thursday.
