$10M Net Worth. $2.5M Cashflow. No Plans to Exit.

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


Jay Berard’s never sold a company, but with $2.5M in cashflow and $10M net worth, is he confidence-rich or risk-blind?"


Here’s what we talk about:

  • His early days: a Craigslist job ad, 100% commission, no safety net… and a one-way ticket from Winnipeg.
  • Jay’s net worth: ~$10M, mostly liquid, mostly public equities, and why he values his business equity at zero.
  • He makes ~$2.5M/year in personal cash flow, but keeps fixed expenses surprisingly lean.
  • Why he turned down acquisition offers and sees more value in control than an exit.
  • From saving every penny to flying business class to how his spending evolved with his mindset.
  • Why “rich” should mean more than just money and how he’s redefining wealth on his terms.
  • What a “big life” really means and the tension between comfort and growth he’s wrestling with today.
