My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

I like to invest in myself.

My First Million

I don't want to rely on someone else to multiply my money.

My First Million

Like trusting their CEO to make the right decisions to grow their company.

I want to invest in myself.

My First Million

So I am putting most of it in the S&P 500.

My First Million

But generally...

My First Million

The strategy is I want to take more outsized risks on my own, like putting the funds into my ventures.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

So that's my plan.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

I'm going to take money out and put them into my own as I start things.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

So right now, I believe it's 75 or 70%, something like that.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

In the S&P, something like 25% that's in the money market or...

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

bonds actually and then a few percentage points like within those that are like scattered like a tiny bit of Bitcoin a tiny bit of gold I believe that's it really just those four places and then I'm going to be pulling out of mostly the or I guess everything when I need to invest in my companies so wait

My First Million

Wait, 100% you're going to put in your own company?

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

Not 100% because I think for the next venture, I will most likely raise money just because now this is kind of like my nest egg.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

I never need to worry about it.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

I'm definitely willing to like take risks.

I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

Yeah, well...

My First Million

I mean, maybe this goes to the EV question a little bit because it really depends how confident I am in the idea.

My First Million
I built a $50M AI app in high school (and just sold it for...)

Like that Elon story of he almost went bankrupt because he split up his wealth and gave half to Tesla, half to SpaceX, and that saved both companies.

So if that's what it takes at some point and I'm confident, then maybe that's what it will take.
