The only question is whether it serves you.What You'll LearnWhy structure emerges whether you design it or notHow business complexity teaches us about wealth complexityThe difference between structure by design and structure by accidentThe hidden costs of accidental structure: taxes, exposure, illiquidity, inefficiencyWhy the Rockefellers designed structure intentionally while the Vanderbilts let it happenStructure by AccidentWhat happens when you don't design structure:Overpaying in taxes because no one's optimizing across entitiesExposed to lawsuits because assets aren't properly protectedIlliquid because capital is scatteredInefficient because advisors don't coordinateThe PatternWhen you start a business, everything is simple.
