What Keeps the Ultra-Wealthy Up at Night?

March 12, 2026

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

📉 Market Risk – Corrections and portfolio exposure

🏛 Political Climate – Election cycles and policy shifts

🔐 Cyber Threats – Security and digital vulnerability

👨‍👩‍👧 Legacy Planning – Divorce, education, generational transfer

🩺 Health Planning – Longevity and quality-of-life risk

You might assume that once someone crosses $25 million in net worth, the stress fades. It doesn’t. In many cases, the concerns simply evolve, becoming more complex, more global, and more personal. In this episode, Rob unpacks what high-net-worth families are thinking about right now, and how many of those same risks apply to successful professionals and retirees as well. Wealth changes your options, but it doesn’t eliminate uncertainty.
