Description

127 founders (net worth: ~$1M–$100M+) opened up their personal books. Want to see how your finances stack up? https://www.joinhampton.com/wealth-report

He’s worth 8 figures, owns a private jet, and still tracks every dollar. Nick Huber says avoiding lifestyle creep is harder, and more important, than getting rich.


Here’s what we talk about:

  • How Nick Huber built an 8-figure net worth from sweaty startups and smart real estate plays.
  • Why he keeps over $2M liquid and doesn’t touch stocks.
  • His exact monthly burn (yes, including the jet) and how he keeps it under $25K.
  • The psychology behind lifestyle creep, and why he’s borderline paranoid about fixed costs.
  • Why he’d rather live modestly than risk losing what he’s built.
  • The emotional rollercoaster of lumpy cash flow, $900K tax bills, and late-night financial dread.
  • How he justifies buying a private jet.
  • His next goal: $1M/month in personal profit, and why he's not trying to be a media mogul along the way.
