Once the exclusive playpen of Rockefellers and Rothschilds, family offices—those posh investment, estate, and succession clubs—are now crashing the upper-middle-class party, thanks to Julius Baer’s MarĆ­a Eugenia Mosquera. In a 2025 blog post straight from Singapore’s Marina Bay, Mosquera zapped outdated billionaires-only rules, revealing nimble, tech-driven, hybrid virtual offices that let smaller fortunes dabble in dynasty-building without selling a kidney. A global PwC and Julius Baer study involving 2,485 experts found 41% scared off by cost, complexity, or misplaced humility about their cash piles. Mosquera generously suggests starting small, outsourcing legal headaches, and anchoring everything in values, so your family doesn’t implode faster than your crypto portfolio. Meanwhile, one trusted accountant becomes your wealth office's version of an action hero. Corporate glamour, now reachable beyond Gulfstream jets!
