I've been listening to Gene Simmon's business audiobook recently. It's certainly pretty unique and controversial, I definately don't agree with stuff in there but it has refreshing insight into his thought processes.
One thing he discusses ALOT- is how making the wrong relationship choices can destroy any financial wealth you build. And how spouses can legally -sometimes maybe rightfully but also unfairly- grab parts of your wealth. He goes into detail about protecting yourself from this -arguably to excessive levels.
One UK entreprenuer who's books have been helpful for me is Duncan Bannatyne who is reportedly worth over £400, which is over 1/2 a billion in dollars (he's on the UK's version of Shark Tank- called Dragons Den- which is better in my opinion- though being from the UK I'm a bit biased!; here's two full episodes, someone has uploaded loads of them to youtube,see if they're up your street and enjoy them while they're there... Dragons Den UK - Season 6 - Episode 7 - YouTube Dragons Den UK - Season 3 - Episode 6 - YouTube)
Anyhow just came across some old stories on him concerning his second divorce and the financial implications it could have on him. (e.g Duncan Bannatyne divorce: 'I'll have to sack 43 staff to pay Joanne McCue £1k-a-day' | Mail Online Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne denies divorce will leave him unable to invest on BBC show | Mail Online )
It made me think back to what Gene Simmons discussed in his Sex,Money,Kiss book.
Have others here thought about this at all? I know MJ must have as one of his recommended books is about marriage. But would be interested to hear other thoughts on the subject?
