What do the ultra-wealthy actually do to minimize taxes, build wealth, and protect their legacy? In this interview, I sit down with Toby Mathis ( @TobyMathis ) from Anderson Business Advisors to break down the real (and simple) strategies high-income earners and investors are using. We talk through why HSAs might be one of the most overlooked tax tools, how the “buy, borrow, die” strategy actually works, and the truth behind paying "zero in taxes".
