My family and I moved from the United States to Ireland many years ago for personal and business reasons. At the time, I hadn’t even considered the concept of obtaining a second citizenship. In fact, it wasn’t until after my son Jackson was born that the idea of a second citizenship crossed my mind. Jackson [...]
Why would anyone want to “go offshore” anyway? That’s a question I ask myself at this time of year, as I put the final touches on the program for my annual Offshore Wealth Summit. The event takes place this year on October 16 to 18 in Porto, Portugal. I like reminding myself why I do [...]
Trump and Vance versus Harris and Walz. Yeesh. In just a couple months we’ll have our winners… and losers. For close to 30 years, I’ve been warning people of the risks of hanging all your hopes on any one country… any one economy… or any one currency. That message has never been more pertinent than [...]
Baby Thomas James Delehanty arrived into the world in 1963 Arizona. A couple months later, having been adopted, he became John Edward Portmann. In 2019, he decided to research his family tree.

Most importantly, I believe in finding opportunities and organizing your life to enjoy what the world offers. Sometimes, you may need to make some changes to do so. So, my job is [...]
Smell that? It’s the ashes of last week’s dumpster fire of a debate still smoldering… and that stench won’t clear easy. In between all the mumbling, bumbling, and name-calling, came the squabbling over inflation, immigration, abortion, and the big stuff too, like the candidates’ prowess on the golf course and elsewhere… If a tornado hit [...]
The stage is set. Tonight, Trump and Biden face off in the first of two slated debates. Taxes look set to feature high on the agenda. Trump wants to extend all the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 provisions which are set to expire next year. Depending on who you listen to, that could [...]
When the King of Rock and Roll died in August 1977, his estate was valued at more than $10 million.
