ITV #274: The Wealthy Use These Tax Strategies to Keep Millions — Here's How You Can Too | Inside The Vault

Making money is one thing. Keeping it, protecting it, and passing it down is another.

In this special Inside the Vault panel, Ash Cash sits down with Chenise Anderson, Carlton Dennis, and Shaquer Brooks aka Miss Business to break down how wealthy families and business owners legally reduce taxes, protect assets, and build wealth that can last for generations.

From tax planning and business deductions to real estate depreciation, cost segregation, trusts, retirement accounts, family foundations, and the Augusta Rule, this conversation goes far beyond filing a tax return once a year.

The panel explains why wealthy people approach taxes proactively instead of waiting until tax season, why business owners and investors may have access to different strategies than W-2 earners, and why understanding where your income comes from matters before choosing a tax strategy. Pasted text

Carlton breaks down real estate depreciation, cost segregation, short-term rentals, and the Augusta Rule. Chenise explains revocable vs. irrevocable trusts, asset protection, estate planning, dynasty trusts, and the concept of “own nothing, control everything.” Miss Business explains tax planning, hiring your children, retirement contributions, entity structure, and why wealthy people build a team instead of relying on one professional.
