When I worked at Goldman, I learned a pretty surprising open secret.

Did you know that if you want to be a US ambassador, you can just… buy it?

Costs about $1M (directly donated to a president).

Plus a couple more million (donated to a PAC).

Happens on both sides of the aisle, and the tradition can be traced back to the early 1900s.

In return, you get a luxury residence, six-figure salary, private school tuition for your kids, and a pretty cool line on your CV I guess. All covered by taxpayers, most often in a beautiful capital city in Europe or the Caribbean.

It’s the Golden Rule: whoever holds the gold, makes the rules.

Money really is power.

Remember that the next time you wonder if it’s greedy for wanting to own a small biz with enough cashflow to give your family a better life ;)
