Jess Mah is worth half a billion dollars—and she’s tired of pretending otherwise.
Jess Mah, entrepreneur and founder of InDinero, dives into the power of radical transparency and how it’s impacted her personal and professional life. Raised by an entrepreneurial mother, Jess aspired to success from a young age, but her path to wealth wasn’t always smooth. By 34, she has built ownership stakes in several companies, but more importantly, she’s learned to stop caring what others think about her wealth.
In this episode, she shares intimate details of her finances, including how she manages her wealth, why she doesn’t worry about having liquid assets, and why she prioritizes personal cash flow over big exits.
We also get into how radical honesty has reshaped her relationships—both romantic and platonic—and how she balances being a CEO with maintaining a fulfilling life.
