True, I have been offered as much as $500k without asking for it, probably because I was not asking for it. There is a lot of money looking for somewhere to go and 15% a year with someone else doing the sweating is a dream for a HNWI who spent 20 years building a business to generate 15% RoE and having sold it, does not want to go through that again. If you do any kind of socialising people will ask if you accept outside investors - especially if you don't.
