Kevin O’Leary Reacts: Living On $515K A Year In Berkeley, CA | Millennial Money

"Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary reacts to an episode of Millennial Money, featuring Sahil Mehta, 25, who lives in Berkeley, CA and earns $515,000 a year as a real estate investor and developer for Golden Gate Sotheby's. Sahil and his brother Suyash own five properties in the area.

It’s hard to find fault with many facets of Sahil Mehta’s finances.
At just 25, he’s earning $515,000 a year between his full-time job as an executive assistant for a real estate agent at Golden Gate Sotheby’s and operating five rental units in his spare time in Berkeley, California. He saves a healthy portion of his income and keeps discretionary expenses relatively low.
He’s impressed Kevin O’Leary, O’Shares ETFs chairman and judge on CNBC’s new show “Money Court,” who watched Mehta’s financial journey with interest.
“Twenty-five years old, living on over half a million dollars a year. That’s not really that hard to do,” O’Leary jokes.
That said, some of Mehta’s money moves can be adapted by just about anyone who wants to better their finances. A big one: contributing to an individual retirement account. Mehta invests $1,500 per month, but most financial experts say to aim to invest 10% to 15% of your income for retirement.
“Puting it aside into an IRA is a fantastic idea because you want it to start compounding at 6% to 8% a year,” O’Leary says, alluding to stock market historical returns, which are not guaranteed. “That’s what you’re putting aside for your nest egg when you turn 65.”
O’Leary was particularly impressed with Mehta’s ability to turn what could have been a source of trauma - his father losing his job during the 2008 recession - into a source of strength. Not wanting to be financially vulnerable in the way his family was during his childhood pushed Mehta to move to California on his own at 16, attend and graduate from college early and start his now-flourishing career in real estate.
Now, Mehta invests heavily in himself and saves around $10,000 a month to put toward future property purchases. He’s doing so well, in fact, that O’Leary has trouble finding fault with much of anything.
“I’m giving him 100%. I rarely do that,” O’Leary says. “This kid got it right.”
Watch the full video to see what else O’Leary has to say about Mehta’s finances.

10:20 Spot on. Contrary to what many Americans do which is make their kids take student loans for college and fend for themselves once they turn 18-20, many Asian parents will pay for their children’s college education completely so they can put all of their focus on their career. One of the big reasons why so many Asians in America are so successful. Then they pay their parents back by taking care of them until they pass away.

[@kenbobcorn]

As Kevin said, he is 25 and has 10m invested with his brother in rental properties. There is no way he could have received the line of credit for even 5 million unless he has significant collateral to back it up. Notice how in his monthly breakdown he doesn't even have mortgage or interest payments, meaning the 10 million in homes are pure equity. Most likely his parents already owned the homes and transferred them into their kids names. The boys are also young and its odd that their parents are retired at their age. The parents are as old as 55 given the average age that people have children, but they could have easily retired early since they are a doctor and a business owner. Moving the rental properties in their children's name reduces the taxable income of the parents, and the parents most likely can live comfortable with what they have. Unlike other of these sorts of videos where real estate owners talk about their leverage, in this video it was missing meaning the home are inherited. As Kevin said in the video, he would love to know how the kids are leveraged but it's nowhere in the original video what their lending situation is like.

Keep in mind that this kid came from a background of wealth. It’s a different story if he came from a background of poor parents and really struggled. But he graduated from Berkeley high school, a school where most if not all of the kids parents are wealthy. Edit: everyone keeps missing the point of this comment. The kid said his family struggled but then mentions he got a large trust fund and a few properties that he didn’t specifically explain how he acquired fresh out of high school. The whole point is whether he actually struggled because struggle for the rich is completely different from the struggle that a average American has to go through.

@@jandersen6802 not sure if you're joking but i'm not struggling by any means, i'm just empathetic to people's situations. a big chunk of people live paycheck to paycheck J, life is not so easy. school does not guarantee 200k per year for everybody not sure where you got that from? are you an american? here - only a doc is "guaranteed" a high salary like this but only after graduating with well over a million dollars in debt. this person is an outlier and should be seen as such. great inspiration, but saying everybody can save 50 percent of their income is ludicrous. majority of people with higher degrees makes 50/60/70k. engineers start off with like 150k if they're really good, but even they have to pay 500k back in student loans.

[@CSpottsGaming]

@@minismalls3096 The entire idea that people could be making $200k a year if only they'd taken school more seriously is the perspective of a 15 year old that's never worked. I have an engineering degree in one of the most lucrative engineering fields (at entry - other fields have much higher ceilings) and didn't make that in the few years I worked in that industry. I'm now about to graduate with a masters in finance and the job I signed for isn't $200k (despite the lengthy work hours and the prestige of the position). $200k as a person under 30 is very difficult to attain. I'm 27 now and might hit that number with raises and bonuses between now and then, but it's hardly something the average person could be expected to reach. By the time you retire? Sure, a well educated person that puts their head down might be able to achieve that. But to think it's something an average or even above-average achiever could do is ludicrous.

But get this, not everyone measures their success with how much money is in their bank account and not everyone worships money. We should end our days with this simple question: Have I helped anyone today or just myself?

[@Buyitforwife]

@@vince7735 ya maybe some want to hide their secrets. I agree people need to learn and model from other successful people. For me, its more a personal reason - just don’t want people to know my specific income and breakdown. Never know how that info gets abused or misunderstood

This young gentleman is definitely smart with his money. But to be honest,if I'm not mistaken, his dad is a physician, and mom is business owner ? I'd say even though they went through 2008 crash , his family still had a pretty profolio/foundation for him. That's why he is able to do those things quickly.

The best thing about this guy is that he's not just into saving every freakin' penny he's enjoying his life and still be able to pull of half of his income as saving, that's what makes it impressive. Yes, absolutely he seems to be having great family value. As a 18 yr old i have picked up some really good knowledge by his side and ofcourse from you Kevin.

@@GossAug yeah I was gonna say saving half is not impressive, that’s easy when you make 300k+ and aren’t obsessed with buying new fashion and cars every month

@@GossAug In Bay Area, I'd make that about 200k a year to live off - 200k to save - 100k for taxes. Bay Area is one of the most expensive places to live in the world. Rent in SF is 3,000 a month for a 1 bedroom. I think Bay Area is more expensive than NYC (In my opinion).

He’s single so he can splurge. With wife and kids the budget quickly spiral upwards: 1. another car (for me I got my wife a better and more reliable SUV) 2. 4x the phone bill 3. 4x travel budget Still comfortable, but not care free. However youth is on his side so he can make much more by the time he has his own family.

did mr wonderful say buying the best/most expensive car you can afford is the best way to go? i feel like everyone always says to buy second hand and get a car that's reliable. i drive my hand me down civic lol. will prob get a model 3 or something when the solid state batteries are around

[@theaveragemegaguy]

Yes he did say that and I think that’s a good way to go about it. It’s better to buy one pair of really good jeans that’ll last you years then having to buy multiple jeans because cheap ones ripped. Same principle applies to anything. One good coat/car/computer/backpack that’ll last years is better than multiple ones in those same years because cheaper can sometimes equal lower quality. You’re investing in yourself that way. Nothing wrong with second hand stuff but once you can afford good stuff I’d say go for it so you only need to buy it once.
