What it REALLY costs to run a Family Office

You've probably seen the headlines: family offices cost $500K, $2M, even $3M a year to operate. If that made you write off the whole idea — I get it. I would have too.But those numbers only tell part of the story.I've been operating my own family office for five years, and in this video I'm breaking down exactly what it costs to run one for households in the $1M to $30M investable net worth range. Not theoretical costs. The actual numbers — including what I personally spent in 2025.I walk through the three types of family offices, why most people only ever hear about the most expensive one, and the lesser-known model that applies the same institutional framework at a fraction of the price.But the real twist isn't the gross cost — it's what happens when you run the net cost math. I share a real example from my own finances that completely flips the expense conversation on its head. The number surprised me, and I think it'll surprise you too.If you've ever wondered whether serious wealth infrastructure is actually within reach, this video answers the question with real numbers — and a framework most people in your position have never considered.
