What if giving your child a large inheritance at the wrong time could destroy everything you worked so hard to build?
This is a famous Hong Kong celebrity. We call her Fei Fei, but unfortunately, she was told she would die early. So she died at 62. She set up a trust and told her daughter, who was then 21, Mommy, don't know whether you can manage money or not. So I will keep the money locked up. I will give you every month $5,700 to spend.
So can I ask you, $5,700, is it a lot? Is it enough for a month? Can survive? But this girl, before the 10th of every month, broke already. Why? When you are rich and you splurge freely, everyone wants to be your friend. You treat people, suddenly everyone is close to you. But when there is no money, who remains?
It was tough for her. She had to learn judgment. Adulting is a process. Money is an important part of growing up. Lack of money can be an even greater teacher.
After many years of managing only $5,700 a month, she became wiser. She learnt who her real friends were, who was just taking advantage of her, and how to be financially prudent. Financial prudence is crucial. If beneficiaries do not have it, no matter how much you leave behind, it can disappear.
At 35 years old, after 14 years of discipline and growth, the trust ended. In 2022, she received the remaining $17 million. By then, she was ready.
This is how a trust works. It buys time. It ensures the right age and right maturity before full inheritance. The wrong timing can lose everything. The right timing can secure generations.
Your wealth deserves more than just distribution. It deserves protection, structure, and purpose.
