When you think of the ultra-wealthy, it's easy to imagine flashy sports cars, designer wardrobes, and extravagant yachts. While these symbols of wealth certainly catch the eye, they are merely the surface-level trappings of a much deeper financial reality. The real secret to lasting wealth among the ultra-rich lies in their ownership of valuable assets, particularly real estate.

The truth is, the ultra-wealthy don’t build their fortunes through salaries or bonuses alone. A significant portion of their wealth is tied to appreciating assets—things that gain value over time rather than lose it.

Unlike cars or clothes that depreciate as soon as they’re bought, assets like stocks, businesses, and especially real estate, offer the promise of long-term financial growth. These investments become the pillars of a fortune that can span generations, providing security and opportunities that go far beyond their initial purchase price.

Real estate, in particular, plays a unique role in this equation. It offers stability in a world of financial volatility and acts as both a practical asset and a wealth-building tool. The ultra-wealthy understand that, while market crashes and inflation may come and go, land and property tend to appreciate over time, especially when located in prime areas.

Now you know that ultra-wealthy individuals invest heavily in real estate. 
​
​When we talk about the ultra-wealthy, we refer to individuals with a net worth of over $30 million. These high rollers don’t just own one luxurious house; they often have a collection. On average, they possess about three to five homes in prime locations around the world—major cities, resort areas, and other high-demand locales.

The exact number of owned properties can vary widely based on personal preferences, investment strategies, and lifestyle choices. Some ultra-wealthy individuals may own significantly more properties, while others focus their wealth on fewer, more expensive homes.

The value of the average real estate portfolio for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) can range from $20 million to several hundred million dollars, depending on their level of wealth and investment strategies. These portfolios often include diverse investments, featuring luxury homes, vacation properties, and investment properties across multiple locations.

So, what might their portfolio look like? Picture this:

These aren’t just any properties; they’re prime real estate in the most sought-after locations—the kind that makes you go “wow” just looking at the photos.

Now, let’s talk lifestyle.
​
​The value of such a portfolio can be mind-boggling. But here’s the thing: it’s not just about the money. It’s about the lifestyle! 

Ultra-wealthy individuals have the means to live life to the fullest, enjoying options that most of us only dream of. Want a ski trip? Head to Lake Tahoe. Looking for sun? Florida awaits. Planning a romantic evening in Malibu? It’s just a flight away. And when winter hits up north, their Mexico retreat is ready. With multiple homes, they truly have the world within reach.

Now, you might be thinking, “This all sounds great, but I’m not sitting on $20 million.” And you know what? Most of us aren’t. But what if you have, say, $3.0 million and dream of living like the ultra-wealthy?

That’s where the revolution in vacation home ownership comes in.

Traditionally, that $3.0 million might get you one very nice vacation home—maybe two if you’re stretching it. But three luxury homes in prime locations? That’s been the stuff of dreams. Until now.

​Enter the world of co-ownership! It’s a whole new ball game!

This innovative approach is changing how we think about vacation homes. Instead of buying one whole property, you can buy a share of multiple luxury homes. And these aren’t just any condos; we’re talking about the cream of the crop—the kind of places that make your Instagram followers drool.
​
​You might be thinking, “Share? I don’t want to share my vacation home!” But hold on. This is smart ownership for the modern age.

Now, I will demonstrate how you can enjoy not all four, but three of the properties mentioned above, all within your budget of $3 million. Exciting, right?

Consider this: Instead of putting your entire $3 million into a single property, consider the innovative option of investing in Pacaso shares. As a leading co-ownership company and my partner, Pacaso allows each property to be divided into eight shares, enabling you to purchase anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 of the property.

By dividing your investment into three shares, each worth $1 million, you can strategically diversify your assets across three unique properties. Choose three from the stunning Pacaso gems below:

The result?

The average price of the homes mentioned above is $6.2 million if purchased outright. By buying shares in these exquisite properties, you can enjoy partial ownership of a diverse portfolio valued at approximately $19 million!

Imagine co-owning luxurious $6 million homes in various locations—sunny Florida, lively Malibu, or picturesque Mexico. The exciting part? You could enjoy up to 18 weeks (about four months) of unforgettable vacations in these stunning homes!

​Why 18 weeks? If you’re curious about this, grab my book, From Dream to Reality: Your Path to Affordable Luxury Living in Florida for Canadians, because this topic is too wide to cover in one article. All the answers are in my book.
​
​Suddenly, you’re not just a homeowner; you’re a proud co-owner of a $19 million portfolio of luxury properties! You’re living the lifestyle that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

And the best part? You’re only paying for the space you use. When you’re not there, your co-owners enjoy the property and cover their share of the expenses. It’s efficient, smart, and represents the future of luxury vacation home ownership.

So, there you have it—the secret to living like a multi-millionaire. This is the revolution in vacation home ownership: a way to live a lifestyle once exclusive to the ultra-wealthy and to own a vacation home that exceeds even your wildest fantasies!

It’s not about how much money you have—it’s about how smart you are with it.
