Ayesha Ofori walked away from Goldman Sachs because she was tired of "making rich men richer." Now she's built her own wealth, a multi-property portfolio, startup investments, and a mission to help everyday people build real financial freedom. In this episode, Ayesha breaks down:
Why the ultra-rich "very rarely use their own money" and how they use leverage to multiply wealth
The difference between saving and investing and why cash ISAs are actually losing you money
Her core-satellite investment strategy: boring index funds as the foundation, high-risk startups and property as the growth engine
Why traditional buy-to-let is dead in the UK and what she does instead
The unspoken truth about being a Black woman in high finance: "looking the part" to gain access
How SEIS and EIS tax relief turns startup investing into one of the UK's most powerful wealth-building tools
This is how someone who managed money for the 1% thinks about building her own.
