They say a fool and his money are soon parted, and, for the 1 percent, this is especially true. The more wealth one has, the more risks to their financial security. But with the right knowledge, planning, and guidance, the affluent can not only preserve their assets but enjoy them as well.

Private wealth manager Frazer Rice has seen every challenge and success that the well-off can face. In Wealth, Actually, he shares his holistic, adaptable approach to wealth management. Through a combination of philosophical discussion, practical advice, humor, and anecdotes, he shows how prosperous individuals can determine what they want their wealth to do; communicate with loved ones about their fortune; avoid overspending; handle wealth threats; evaluate, grow, and protect investments; and choose the best advisors.

Money shouldn’t be the dream—but, when it’s managed right, it can be the perfect tool to make dreams come true.

Let me first say that by Frazer's definition I am far from wealthy. I currently live in the New York metro area working as a young filmmaker. It often feels like I don't have two nickels to rub together. Why should someone like me read a book like this?

Frazer describes wealth like a bolt of lightning. It can strike suddenly and never strike again. Are you ready for it? What if some estranged second cousin dies and leaves you a massive inheritance? If you're a musician, athlete, or creative, you may one day hit the jackpot. Then what? You will need an understanding of how money works and how to protect your money for your future and your family.

For those of us in the 99%, it can be unfathomable how someone worth 10 million dollars could feel like he doesn't have enough. After reading this book you will understand how. You will understand how people who should theoretically be rich might squander or lose it.

If you are starting a business venture or project and wish to pitch a wealthy person to invest in you, this book gives invaluable insight into their point of view and why they may or may not choose to work with you.

After reading this book, I recommend reading the Rolling Stone article, "The Trouble with Johnny Depp," which illustrates many of the principles of Frazer's book in vivid reality.

A highly readable and very real book about how to manage not only money, but our lives

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021

What’s remarkable about Frazer Rice’s Wealth Actually isn’t simply that it’s a book of truly sound advice to families everywhere about how to think about wealth, and how to structure passing it onto your children and grandchildren, if you’re lucky enough to have sufficient funds to do so, but the powerful thread of humanity that runs through every page.

While the book seems at first sight aimed at the high-wealth individuals and families Rice has spent much of his career working with, its lessons and, in particular, its frequent, thought-provoking questions, apply to the heart of all families.

Far too many of us at any economic level often put off making a will, wanting to avoid the hard decisions that may involve - as well as the thoughts of our own mortality - so the questions Frazer Rice poses may come as a shock with their clarity and level-headedness:

“What’s important to you regarding your family?”

“Who constitutes your family? What do you feel responsible for, in terms of their expenses?”

“If your children are an important part of your planning, for what length of time do you want to support them?”

A key factor for many wealthy families is clearly deciding how much to tell their children about the wealth they may inherit, and how to motivate them to find their own path in life and not feel overwhelmed by their family’s money, or perhaps by their parents’ achievements.

While this may not apply exactly to every family at every income level, all mindful parents spend time trying to find a way to help their children grow, and support them when they can, but also give them the space to discover who they are as individuals and how they fit into this world.

Frazer’s book repeatedly stresses the complexities all of us face within family relationships, no matter our budget level, and how important it is both to plan intelligently for the future, but also to recognize that it is unpredictable.

He addresses the concerns of long-term care when older, and disabilities and problems with drugs, alcoholism or excessive spending or gambling that may arise at any time.

The main thrust of Wealth Actually isn’t about making money (Rice states early on that it isn’t a “get rich quick” book), but about managing its role in your life. And the answers he suggests are very sound, and applicable to everyone: ask yourself the hard questions about what you want from life, who you want to spend it with and protect, and, if you can afford advisors, how to choose them and what to expect of them. He stresses that money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness - and that money, badly managed, may even make things worse.

Great overview of the wealth management process

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Wealth, Actually is a book that undersells its value. It's targeted toward the ultra-rich, but is generally insightful for many who want to have a better conversation with a financial advisor. The advisor/client conversation can be difficult to manage and Frazer nicely sets out some of the key issues on which there needs to be shared understanding and close coordination. This is a quick, worthwhile read.

Practical Advice For Managing Wealth

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

Wealth, Actually is an excellent book with practical advice for managing wealth. I see it as the endgame of personal finance - what questions does one think about and how does one approach wealth once it's obtained? Frazer Rice provides a holistic view of these questions, and provides insightful answers worth pondering. From how to think about different investment vehicles to assembling your team of professional advisors, there is a lot of ground covered, though it flows in a readable and entertaining way. I highly recommend it to the newly wealthy as well as those (like myself) who are still on the journey toward financial independence.

An Excellent Resource

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

Outside of your marriage, your relationship with a wealth advisor might be one of the longest duration relationships in life. Yet that relationship is often complicated by the fact that while you and your advisory are working together to successfully manage your wealth, this is the advisor's full-time job, and most likely not yours. As a result, there is a tremendous amount of industry knowledge and context that keeps the relationship out of balance. Wealth, Actually is an excellent resource to restore that balance. It is written for the client and brings a holistic way of thinking about and understanding wealth. The net result - a better and more productive advisor/client relationship

Insightful, practical and well structured

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020

I bought this book last week and read it cover to cover in 3 days. It’s a great read: excellent overall structure of the ‘challenge’ people are solving in building and maintaining wealth, how to think about it, and what practical actions to take. There are insights and advice for the very wealthy, as well as very helpful and practical advice for folks just looking to maintain the value of the nest eggs they have built. This is an area that has been sorely lacking a comprehensive overview for individuals (versus books targeted at professionals). Thanks a million for writing this book.
