Inside the Billionaire Money Blueprint!

October 28, 2025•3 min read

Mark Miller, known as “The Money Man,” discussed his work as a business financial consultant and his partnership with Brad Hilton of the Hilton family—grandson of Conrad Hilton. Together, they manage Hilton Tax and Wealth Advisors and the Hilton Family Office, focusing on bringing high-level, institutional wealth strategies to everyday investors. Their goal is to bridge the gap between Wall Street and Main Street, giving average entrepreneurs access to the same sophisticated tools the ultra-wealthy use to build and preserve wealth.

Miller explained the concept of a family office, which originated with the Rockefellers as a way to unify financial advisors, attorneys, and wealth managers under one coordinated structure. Over time, this evolved into the virtual family office (VFO) model, which outsources top experts across different fields rather than hiring a large in-house staff. This approach allows clients—whether in large cities or small towns—to access the best professionals globally through modern technology, without the massive overhead or management challenges of traditional offices.

The discussion then shifted to common challenges family offices face, based on a Vast Vault community survey: hiring, succession planning, and tax mitigation. Miller shared that virtual family offices eliminate many hiring issues since they outsource to “best-in-class” experts rather than recruiting internally. This ensures clients get top-tier service without the risks of turnover or mismatched talent, which often plague traditional family offices.

On succession planning, both Miller and Kenner agreed it’s one of the most complex and emotionally charged parts of wealth management. It often takes years to coordinate among multiple generations and advisors. Miller emphasized the importance of including spouses and younger heirs early in the planning process to maintain harmony and prevent disputes. Communication, he noted, is the key to avoiding future conflict—especially as family dynamics evolve and new decision-makers step in.

Finally, they addressed tax mitigation, which Miller ranked as the most critical element of wealth building. He stressed that proactive and advanced tax planning can dramatically increase net worth, citing examples where clients saved millions in a single year. Both agreed that focusing on tax efficiency allows families to grow their wealth faster and more sustainably. AI-driven systems, like VastSolutionsGroup.com’s Einstein, are also transforming how firms identify savings opportunities, marking a new era in intelligent, data-supported financial strategy.
