Overview

The 400 richest Americans pay a lower tax rate than the bottom 50%. They have an army of accountants, attorneys and spend millions of dollars to find tax savings opportunities.

But what if you could take advantage of those same strategies – without being a billionaire? In this course, you’re going to learn what the rich and well-connected do, and how you can easily use those same strategies to reduce your taxes, save more of your hard-earned money, and build your wealth more efficiently.
