"Buy Borrow Die" - How the MEGA RICH Pay No Taxes

i think the buy borrow die only works for SBLOC's. If you take a loan there will be an amortization schedule which means you're gonna need to pay it back through cash or asset liquidation. The loans are typically short term too.

The rich don’t borrow like everyone else. They don’t go to Fidelity. Their net worth gets them access to something called private wealth banking where they can borrow money for less than 2.5%. In some cases under 1% depending on asset allocation. They also have access to investments that the normal rich don’t have access to, meaning they can earn far more than 8% consistently.

[@JakeBroe]

Yep! This is true. Didn't have screenshots to show people of this, so I just went with Fidelity, lol.

I work for a Private Bank and can confirm that we offer miniscule spreads on our asset backed lines of credit. Also, most of the rich folks I work with buy into private equity, which offers better returns than the market on average.

under 2% interest rate is typical. when buying super large shares there a 50% discount off market price with an option to buy a locked price of x number in the future. then tax loss harvesting and itemized deduction cancel out.

[@thomasveysey7363]

I get this concept but one thing i’m struggling with is how the line of credit gets repaid. Surely if someone borrowed 10 million usd to fund their lifestyle they would eventually have to sell some assets to repay the loan? Or are we presuming that their assets are cash flowing enough to repay the payments? Would appreciate if someone could help out this curious 18 year old.

[@ragtagropes]

You basicly fold a years payments into the next loan you take out. The debt gets resolved tax free when you die, so as long as you hold assets greater than the loans you've taken out, the bank is happy to keep throwing money at you each year.

[@edek3159]

Two things come to mind that I can think of: Typical stocks has 1% dividends. 1%of 100m is 10% of 10mill. So 100mill of stocks at 1% dividends will get you enough money, even after paying tax on those, to pay off the interesnt. 2nd, it is still cheaper to sell some of your stock that gains in value, pay 20% tax and then pay off the interest.

[@edek3159]

Im sure the maths works. Ie 8% stock gain. Sell. Pay 20% tax. Pay off 4% interest. This is assuming your assets arent providing any other cashflow. Houses/hotels can use rent but thatll be disposable income.

[@edek3159]

Imagine I owned $10,000,000 in SNP500. Making 10% a year. With 1.5% dividend yield. I want to buy a $4,000,000 yacht. I take out a loan on 3% interest. That means I must pay back $120,000 a year on interest. My snp500 is giving me $150,000 of dividends a year, that 20% i pay tax means $120,000 left. Hence my loan is financiable (on interest only) which banks love. Worst case theres a crash. Your snp500 drops 50% to $5,000,000 (conservative!). You can still sell and pay off the 3 mill loan

[@edek3159]

Otherwise id have to sell $6,000,000 in snp500. Asset becomes 'realised' so i pay approx third tax. That means ive only got 4mill in SNP500 making me 10% returns, instead of 10mill. NOT GOOD

I tried this on a small scale. I bought a house with cash, $150,000. Over the next 8 years it increased to 250,000. Owned in full, no loans, no leans, free and clear, never had any mortgage. No bank would loan me a penny. Any ideas why?

[@Putseller100]

Real estate is weird like that, small buildings like a house is based on your income. Once it becomes a larger building that produces income than a loan can be borrowed according to its value and income it produces. It seems we can push a button and take out a large loan against stock positions without income being any consideration. What’s weird is if you ever read any of Robert Kiyosaki he will say the exact opposite. He says over and over a banker will not loan you money to buy stocks but he will bend over backwards to loan for real estate. I know it’s not an exact comparison but it is something to think about

[@chanskichanski7874]

Did you mean you borrowed $150k from the stock position and buy the house free and clear?

Absolutely brilliant Jake ..Well Done ! I came across this video one year late....but nevertheless: This is the the same concept (on much smaller scale though 🤪) I've been applying on the Standard Bank "Access bond" principle in South Africa.

I've never bought a vehicle and investment houses any other way.

[@jacklnu1614]

FYI, if the corporation does not pay a salary to its shareholder and just pays a dividend, it is not entitled to claim a tax deduction on its corporate income tax return. The 37% rate is the highest marginal rate and is not the actual effective when combined with the lower brackets. The highest corporate tax rate has been reduced to 21% in recent years.

Great video Jake. 100% an issue congress needs to fix but the question is how?

In Canada, on death, assets are deemed sold. That means, eventhough the heirs will inherit the assets at market value (stepped-up) the estate of the deceased will have to pay the tax on capital gains. So the heirs and the estate will have to come up with both capital gains tax AND pay back all that debt ( unless they continue the never ending cycle of borrowing).

The piece I don't understand is that loans have to be repaid. Where is the capital to repay coming from?

[@JakeBroe]

It does not have to repaid. There is no monthly payments required. Interest on the loan just accumulates. But if your assets grow faster than the interest on the debt, then percentage wise you owe less money (as a percentage) over your lifetime. Then when you die, you inheritors can keep the debt game going or pay it off tax free.

[@tycoontotsfinance6729]

Amazing content! This was really, really, good.

[@gama1123]

Well, the part that no one explains in this videos is how are they paying the interest? Let alone the principal... they eventually need to sell some portion of the assets to cover at the very least the interest righ?

[@JakeBroe]

No, there is no requirement to make payments on the interest accumulated or the principal balance of the loan. If the amount of debt against the account is growing each year at 4% and the equity in the account is growing at 10% a year, then the ratio of debt to equity in the account shrinks without any payments being required. The wealthy only pay off the debt when they die and they can sell all their assets tax free.

[@gama1123]

@@JakeBroe so what happens when they die? The bank who gave them the loan sells whatever assets they need in order to cover the debt? Is the debt forgiven because they died? Or is the debt passed on tho the heir along with all the assets? Thank you very much for the reply sir! I really appreciate it!

[@zk1476]

Nice video Jake. Quick question, Let's say we are just regular investors with no where near the amount of money the super rich have. If we needed the money and instead of sell our assets and pay 20% taxes, why don't we just do the same and keep the asset and borrow from say Fidelity for 8% interest? Isn't that still better than paying 20% in taxes?

[@JakeBroe]

Yep, but it's all relative to how much you have vs how much you want to live on. If you have $400,000 in a brokerage account and want to borrow $80,000 on margin (20%) to buy a rental property that you can cash flow to eventually pay down your margin debt, yeah, people do this all the time. They never sell.

[@jeffconner8231]

The awareness presented here is awesome. So they child inheriting pays off the loan from the stepped-up basis to avoid the capital gains tax? And otherwise, you still have to pay tax on the income used to pay the loan back. Do I have that right? I would like to see the long-hand math on this one that includes paying it back. It seems without the step-up basis that there's no benefit to this.

[@mig519]

What money is used to pay back the loan? If it’s paid back by selling assets, aren’t those subject to capital gains tax? I understand the tax avoidance initially but what I don’t understand is where the money comes from to pay the bank back. Thanks

[@JakeBroe]

You don't ever have to pay it back. As long as the assets grow faster than the debt, the bank doesn't care. They have margin requirements, so the debt only matters as a percent of the account and it can be ignored forever as long as the assets grow faster than the interest accumulating on the debt. When a wealthy person dies, the person inheriting the account can sell assets (if they want), they won't pay taxes on capital gains now because of the step-up in basis, and they can clear the debt.

[@mig519]

@@JakeBroe thank you

[@crestinglight]

@@JakeBroe Thank you! This was the part I didn't understand. So, no payments are made on the loan until the owner of the debt dies and a transfer of assets happens. If a guy has 100 mil in assets, and borrows 10 mil, then dies years later owning 200 mil in assets, with 20 mil in debt, they pass on assets worth 200 mil tax-free to their kids, then the kids can sell those assets and pay back the 20 mil in debt. Or they can just roll it all the way to the next generation. That's diabolical.

[@Putseller100]

I was thinking of a mix of qualified dividends and some covered call income to pay back the loan. Dividends are taxed friendly and with the 25,000 standard deduction one could sell option premium to that level and not pay tax. Mix that in with growth and it looks like the loan may not have to be paid back? Another question can the loan renew or revolve like a credit card every year or does the loan have to be paid back to get a new loan. For ex 1 million portfolio and borrow 50k to live on for the year. Later on you still have a good balance left, can you take out another 50k with the original loan still open?

[@jm-tKoA26]

When it comes to paying off the debt at the end of your life, would it not be much better for you to have a life insurance policy (or multiple policies) allocated in your will to covering the debt you’re building over time? That way when you die, the debt is paid off by the life insurance policy automatically instead of the debt being passed on to the next generation. The cost of a term life insurance policy should only be a small part of the money you’re taking out to live on and can simply be considered a necessary payment like the interest. Doing this also makes sure the strategy doesn’t become unmanageable and therefore dangerous if the government gets rid of the step up basis laws as the cost is already covered so no asset selling, and the associated taxable events, are required.

[@dogegamer3288]

But if you borrow of stocks and repay the margin loan back with profits from the stocks by selling them, isn't a taxable even triggered when you sell the stock to pay back the margin loan?

[@sosukewifhat]

Extremely well explained but there's one thing I don't get, If I have 100 million usd today and I decide to borrow 10 million usd at 4% a year to buy a car, at one point I'll have to pay those 10 millions back right ? Like if my car dies in 25 years from now, there would be no point to keep paying those 4%. And to do that I'll be forced to sell my assets, a bit confused !

The Buy Borrow Die strategy probably was more popular when interest rates were much lower. The debt has to be serviced.

[@bhh8005]

Sorry for a late answer, but it is not that simple. On a ordinary loan the bank calculate the interest for the length of the loan and most of the interest is paid in the first years. But the rich are using Stinking rich reverse mortgages. The interest is calculated annually and added to the debt in the end of the year. They got the tax deduction for the interest each year but nothing neads to be paid before they sell the asset or dies. They don't nead to service the debt at all.

They don't, or they take a "meager" salary to pay off the interest since margin interest is tax deductible.

@@JakeBroe Thank you! Checking now...

[@KazeClips]

Wouldn't this also work for not-as-rich people? Borrowing 50k when you have 100k in assets, 4% gain yearly... that's still a nice 2k in passive income expected returns.

[@JakeBroe]

Sure, lots of people do this. They borrow in the brokerage account on margin to buy more stocks. But if the market has a 20%-30% down year, then you lose twice and much and risk being margin called if you fall below requirements.

[@anyanov]

Helpful!

[@camipco]

I learn a thing!

[@JakeBroe]

Awesome! Glad you found the video Jamie!

5:03 😂

[@craigchambers4183]

I do know something you don't. But not about taxes. Or being rich. Or trading. :-)

[@JakeBroe]

Haha, I don't know everything! But I am learning as much as I can at a very fast pace. Everyone knows something useful they can teach to someone else!

Debt, a double edge sword ! One word as a reminder : Archego, Bill wang

[@JakeBroe]

well... leveraging at a rate of 9:1 is pretty dumb... they deserved to lose everything

[@dwalker6868]

Thank you the life LOL

[@JakeBroe]

Haha, thanks D!

This is not 100% accurate - the equity or RSU’s are taxed as income when they vest.

[@ccstarz19]

When they are exercised, not vested, but, a lot of high level executives will be on an automatic sell schedule, at which point they'll be taxed, yes.

[@bryan17716]

@@ccstarz19 It looks like my comment was deleted (potentially due to links to outside KZbin resources?). In short I don’t want individuals thinking that people don’t pay taxes on RSU’s as this would be incorrect. They in fact do pay income taxes on RSU’s as they are counted as income on the day of vest. Just do a quick search for “how are RSU’s taxed”. Chris, you may be referring to Stock Options which is a different beast altogether than RSU’s and something I don’t see much or at all in compensation plans anymore. Those are taxed differently - when you sell, but again I really don’t see this type of compensation anymore at least in tech.

[@onuohafamily]

Can I get a small loan of a $100 million to start this 😭

[@JakeBroe]

If you find someone to front that much, then put in a good word for me.

[@lolwtnick4362]

hmm another fast cheap way is go into debt, then bankruptcy. do it again and die, life insurance! which is tax free. just sayin.

Welcome to the channel Jo Geo! Great to have you with us!

[@CarlosBattousai]

So unless your rich you can't buy borrow die.... Cool I have no problem with the rich avoiding taxes and keeping their money I'm trying to do the same thing. My beef is unless I have a few Mil I can't even try ~_~

[@JakeBroe]

Yep... dems the rules!

[@SweetNeoCon407]

The debt pay back was kind of quickly glanced over IMO.

[@JakeBroe]

Yeah, but the debt doesn't matter. That's the point. As long as the principal grows faster than the debt, then it never has to be paid.

[@Greg-mh2ku]

@@JakeBroe this confuses me as well…so they don’t have a monthly minimum to have to pay back?

[@JakeBroe]

@@Greg-mh2ku , no, there is no monthly payment. As long as you stay in debt, the bank is making money off of you. There is no risk to them since they seize your securities if your fall below their margin lending rates. You can maintain this loan forever and the interest just keeping being added each month.

[@airrun88]

Think of this for a moment. If you make $25,000,000 a year Subtract a Tax at 75% total Divide by 26 pay periods Divide by 80 hours You are making over $3,000 an hour after that tax. Compare that to a nurse helping COVID patients If they are travel nursing they make about $27 an hour after tax. ($94k a year, 40% tax bracket) (ranges from state to state.) If they aren’t traveling the after tax hourly is somewhere around $19 an hour. Imagine being a builder for a mega rich sky scraper making $25 an hour before taxes getting taken out.

RICH PEOPLE: Take personal loans to pay for their lifestyle. ME: Taking a car loan so I can go to work. (btw, my car is paid off)

Truth... probably driving to a job that earns taxable W-2 income. The mega rich are laughing at us, lol

[@Gutch220]

it's amazing how the government thinks they have dibs on your earned money. it's like, it's all of their money in the first place, and you should be lucky to keep what they deem appropriate,

[@JakeBroe]

I'm currently serving on active duty military and my salary is entirely paid for with US tax dollars. If these guys pay nothing in federal taxes... who do you think is supposed to pay my salary then?

[@Gutch220]

@@JakeBroe Citizens should pay their taxes. And the government shouldn't treat people like a bottomless ATM machine to unilaterally invent taxes that everyone needs to pay. They are like the mafia or a cartel. They choose whatever number they want, and you need to pay or they put you in prison. What gets me (and I wish I was in a position to benefit from this) is the estate tax when you die. You go a lifetime, "paying" taxes and at the end of your life, your lifetime's work is now somehow taxed AGAIN by the government. They tax you when you earn it, when you spend it, when you save it, when you invest it, when you pass it down. The mega rich people should definitely pay taxes on their earnings, but the whole system should be much simpler so these legal tricks shouldn't even exist. In return the government should ease up on taxing every single nook & cranny of society and funding the government on our credit card.

Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.

[@polppppcheesecake]

All these videos are the same, never sais who pays back the loan each month.

[@Chris-fg7bx]

This doofis makes it sound like free money and a glitch. He makes it sound like a bank doesn't care about interest on a $10M loan. Banks are not a charity. Loans in this vid are generally variable interest so when interest rates go up, so does the money these rich folks half to repay. Deferring any type of payment to your kids would subject the loan to even more interest rate volatility. People who take these loans out generally do to fund short-term projects and repay them in their entirety in a few years at most. This is also done because of stock market volatility. If the market goes down, the collateral is worth less which makes banks panic and they may readjust terms of your loan because of this

Cheers Eitan!

[@chrisvinci5417]

The rich shouldn't really have to pay taxes. They did so much to benefit our economy already.

[@JakeBroe]

lol

[@jantelopez5626]

what like undermining democratically decided policies by buying politicians and media, marketers and advertising to push whatever line they want so loud that people believe any old sh*t they wheel out. If rich people had to compete on a level playing field they'd have to actually have skills someone could use and the finance industry wouldn't be designed around maintaining overvalued mediocre skills better performed by algorithms . And if they actually paid for stuff and weren't allowed to profit from other peoples efforts they wouldn't be that rich very long

[@jacklnu1614]

They should have to pay for nothing. That way they can stay rich.
