Library’s Business Break Examines Money Secrets of the Rich

East Brunswick Public Library’s (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) Take a Business Break online program series continues on Thursday, July 15 at noon with Money $ecrets of the Rich and Famous.

The financial affairs of many well-known celebrities, politicians, performers and the super-rich will be described along with tips on how you can adopt some of these techniques or how you can avoid some harmful actions. Included will be techniques to maintain privacy, by-pass probate, give cash generously to charities without writing a check or reducing your bank balance, invest with minimal risk, and avoid being swindled.

Presenter Ed Mendlowitz will also tell tales of inheritances, famous family fights over bequests and legacies, and some maneuvers that landed people in jail or in bankruptcy. The program promises to be a real eye-opener as well as an informative and educational look into the investing habits, financial management and tax loopholes enjoyed by those bold enough to reach out for them.
