HUGE $3 MILLION DOLLAR INHERITANCE | WHATS NEXT

If you win the lottery or inherit wealth, here is how you should spend and invest it

Someone on Reddit recently inherited 7000 shares of Apple stock worth approximately $3.325 million. What would you do with all that money? How would you invest it? Would you invest in real estate? Stocks? How much would you pay in taxes? I've put together this general guide on how I would invest several million dollars if I inherited a large sum of money.

In 2003 the Redditor’s grandfather put his college fund into Apple stock, that year, apple closed at around $1.50, and right now it’s obviously several hundred dollars per share, several million dollars in appreciation, that means you’re going to have to pay quite a lot in taxes right? Interestingly enough, you will not because The Step Up In Basis. With this rule, you don’t have to pay taxes on the difference between what the real cost basis was, and what you inherited it at which then becomes your new cost basis. When you inherit the money, you are also automatically given the long term capitals gains tax rate.

Hypothetically, if you decide to sell the stock the moment of passing, assuming zero price growth, you will pay minimal taxes on from sale. However, if you wait to sell the stocks and they appreciate in value, then you have to pay long term capital gains taxes. You would pay 0% on your first $40k, 15% for $41k to $441,450, and 20% for anything above that (depending on your taxable income). You don't personally need to know this tax information, but when you hire a CPA and an estate and trust attorney (VERY important), these are great talking points to discuss.

After inheriting the money, I would first sell those shares because you should never risk that much money in any single company, no matter how great it is (even though AAPL is my favorite stock). Now that I have 3 million in cash, here's how I would invest it.

First, I would pay off my debts. Credit card loans, student loans, auto loans, personal loans, etc. I wouldn't necessarily pay off my house unless my mortgage was in excess of 4%. Otherwise, I would continue investing in the market.

Second, put that money in a high yield savings account that generates some interest so you don't lose money to inflation. Make sure not to exceed the FDIC limit of $250,000. You'll need to manage multiple accounts but it's worth it if you want to minimize your risk. If you want to have that money invested soon, you can keep it in a single bank account short term but be careful not to let any single brokerage account exceed $500,000 in stocks because that goes over the SIPC limit (500k stock + $250k cash).

Third, I would put 30% (roughly $1 million) into a low cost dividend ETF like VYM which generates around 3.6% dividend yield (at this current moment) which will give you a base income of $36,000. From this moment forward, you will almost certainly never drop below this income and you've secured a middle class lifestyle without needing an actual job. Not bad!

Fourth, I would put another 30% (another $1 million) into either a growth ETF like QQQ or even better, a broad market ETF like VTI which tracks the total US stock market. Chances are 30 years from now, you'll be in a better position than you are today. If you can hold off on needing this money, consider putting this in a retirement account. Make sure to ask your financial planners about the backdoor Roth IRA, or the mega backdoor Roth IRA options just in case.

Fifth, I would put another million dollars into real estate. If you like passive real estate investing, considering downloading Fundrise and using that app to do the investing for you, I highly recommend them. If you like slightly more active real estate investing, I'd buy REIT ETFs / individual stocks. Lastly, if you like very active real estate investing, buy physical properties and turn them into rentals for extra cash flow.

Sixth, I would save 10% of your money as cash to ride out bad economic conditions so you don't have to sell your house or your stocks. Give some to charity or your parents, and you're set for life.

Andrei, I know that this doesn't mean much coming from a random person on YouTube but you are the same age as my son and I'm so proud of you and I know that your parents are too. I've been listening to you for awhile now and I enjoy every video that you make.

How to retire by 30. Step One: Get a high income skill that pays according to your skills not per hour. Step Two: Cut your expenses and live below your means. Step Three: Save and invest most of your money. Shoot for saving 20-50% of your income if possible. But if you can only do 10% then do that. Step Four: Grow your knowledge so that you can do better in personal finance and investing.Step five:Get a Financial advisor(obviously) Step six: Let time work for you. Start as early as possible, every year makes a huge difference. "The best time to start investing is yesterday, the second best is today."

Andrei, I would take a different approach to how the shares are disposed of. Keep the shares in AAPL - AAPL got you this wealth, why eat the goose that laid all those golden eggs ... all at once!? First of all, I agree, divide the AAPL shares into N accounts each below the SIPC limit. Have 1 extra account with zero. Those AAPL shares will throw off $22K in 'qualified' dividends per year or in excess of $7K per quarter. Once per quarter transfer the dividends to the non-AAPL account and invest in non-AAPL dividend stocks per your youtube show ...OR... bond/commodity/gold ETFs (e.g. TLT, IEI, GLD, GSG - these are the non-stock ETFs in Ray Dalio's All Weather Portfolio.) One could easily just do the above and scale into a well-diversified portfolio. However, I would sell call options against the shares in one (or more) of the AAPL-laden accounts. That could easily generate as much, or more, than the AAPL dividend. Eventually one or more of the call options gets assigned, liquidating 100 shares of AAPL per each instance - basically you get paid to sell your AAPL shares which is something you would have done for free. Move the cash to the non-AAPL account(s) and deal with as above or spend it or whatever.

There’s a bunch of things you should do after receiving a huge inheritance. Important things include: paying of debt, building an emergency fund, paying off mortgage, secure your retirement and lastly in vesting the rest. Take time to seek a financial consultant if you feel a bit confused on what to do.

Seeing Andrei's parents signing the paperwork when he bought them a house made my heart so happy. Thank you for that. May your good karma multiply a million more!

"No amount of money has replaced the people that we love and no amount of money ever bought a second of time." That hits deep.
