Hannah Hammond explains how wealthy people avoid taxes: buy income-producing assets like real estate, borrow against their appreciated value, and use the rent to pay back the loan. The borrowed money counts as tax-free income since loan repayments aren't taxable.

You buy assets and you never sell them. You just borrow against them. So let's say you own a million-dollar piece of real estate. If you were to sell that real estate and you had a capital gain, a profit on that asset, then you would have to pay taxes on that gain. But instead, if you keep it and you just borrow against it and pull the equity out, pull the profit out, then you don't pay any taxes on that. And your tenant pays that loan back and you get to go spend that money tax-free as income. So this is how the rich get wealthy and actually keep their money.
