Invest Like a Billionaire with Bob Fraser of Aspen Funds, MAREI Meeting October 13, 2026, Overland Park

How the Ultra-Wealthy Really Build — and Keep — Their Money

Ever wonder how the ultra-wealthy actually got that way — and stay that way?

Maybe you're not about to invent the next gadget, launch the next tech startup, or drop $3 million on a single deal. Not yet.

But the tools and strategies behind those fortunes aren't off-limits. You can put many of them to work in your own real estate business — right now, at whatever size you're building.

Here's what you'll take home:

  • What billionaires actually own — and why 50–60% of it isn't stocks
  • The alternatives hiding in plain sight: private notes, lending, energy, funds
  • How the wealthy legally shrink the tax bill on every dollar — plan for this now, before it eats into your growth
  • How to organize and structure what you've already built — the piece most investors skip until it costs them
  • How to spot a great operator — and walk away from a loser — also useful for private lending and joint ventures
  • How to read a PPM — the terms in every private deal (preferred return, the split, the waterfall, hold period, projected returns) and what each one really means

The decisions you make about money today determine your financial future tomorrow. Come make some sharper ones.

Meet Bob Fraser

Bob Fraser knows these strategies cold. He is co-founder and CFO of Kansas City's own Aspen Funds ($500M+ in private credit, real estate, and energy) and the USA Today bestselling author of Invest Like a Billionaire.
