Description

Stop saving. Start allocating.


Mechanics of Money is the technical manual for high-net-worth individuals moving from "High Earner" to "Sophisticated Allocator."


Hosted by Sam Silverman (Silverman Capital), this show strips away the "get rich quick" hype to focus on the operational and financial mechanics of wealth preservation. We sit down with founders, fund managers, and tax strategists managing billions in assets to decode exactly how the ultra-wealthy structure their capital.


We cover:


• Private Markets: Deep dives into Multifamily Syndications, Private Credit, and PE.
• Tax Strategy: Advanced frameworks like 1031 Exchanges, Bonus Depreciation, and Opportunity Zones.
• Risk Management: How to vet operators and protect your downside.

Whether you are looking to place your first $50k into a syndication or managing an 8-figure family office, we provide the blueprint.
