Tony Robbins' Wealth Tiers

Tony Robbins' Money Exercise helps people realize they may need less wealth than they think to achieve their desired lifestyle. Here's a breakdown of the exercise:

Purpose of the exercise

• Clarify what people actually want from wealth
• Help people understand how much money they truly need
• Demonstrate that many desires are achievable with less money than expected

Exercise structure

• Participants imagine having different tiers of wealth
• For each tier, they list how they would live differently
• Tiers typically include:
  • $10 million
  • $1 million
  • $50 million
  • $1 billion

Key insights from the exercise

• Most lifestyle changes people want are achievable at lower wealth levels
• Many desires only require $1-10 million, not billions
• People often overestimate the wealth needed for their ideal lifestyle

Example realizations

• Having a private chef might only require $1-5 million, not billions
• Many travel and lifestyle goals are achievable with far less than expected
• Some seemingly expensive desires (e.g., nice meals, experiences) are relatively affordable

Benefits of the exercise

• Helps people set more realistic financial goals
• Encourages focusing on what truly matters in life
• Can reduce anxiety about needing an unattainable amount of wealth
• Allows people to recognize they may be closer to their ideal lifestyle than they thought

Application

• Use as a tool for personal financial planning
• Helpful for couples to align on financial goals and priorities
• Can be adapted for different wealth levels based on individual circumstances
