Jay Hughes has been a trusted counselor of dynastic families for 40 years and a thought leader in our profession, helping wealthy families preserve themselves as going concern for many generations. Why should rich people go from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations, when there are plenty of poor people around already who can barely afford a shirt? America needs an Aristocracy. Perhaps for a trusted advisor Richelieu or or Tallyrand might be the model. As a respected Morals Tutor to America's Wealthiest Families have been feeling the pinch a little, with the stock market down, and my tip jar empty. My loyalty to preserving the well-being of dynastic families even unto the seventh generation is unswerving; I am not an inheritor myself, and I do have to eat.
