Serious Coin

About Serious Coin

There’s no rule book for handling wealth—and rarely do we talk about what it really means to have it, spend it, invest it, or give it away. Serious Coin is a podcast for people who want to thrive with their wealth. In candid conversations with wealth holders and their advisors, host Kelly Willis Green explores the practical, emotional, and lifestyle dimensions of affluence. As a wealth coach and former wealth marketing exec who came into affluence by marriage, Kelly brings both personal and professional insight to her conversations.

   The Count, the Castle and a Thousand Year Legacy with Octavian Graf Pilati

   In today's episode of Serious Coin, I'm talking old European money ... what it's like to inherit a thousand years of family history, and what happens when the family fortune starts to come apart. It's a conversation about succession, stewardship, and deciding which parts of a legacy to carry forward. My guest is Octavian Graf Pilati, a member of an Austrian aristocratic family whose history reaches back a thousand years. At 25, while still finishing his engineering degree, he stepped in to manage his family's financial crisis, which ended in the sale of the family's forest land and palace. Today he runs his family's wealth management, and he writes, speaks, and consults on succession, stewardship, and preparing the next generation for wealth and responsibility. Watch or listen to hear how Octavian's father taught him financial agency, what the crisis taught him about family communication, and why he now sees himself as generation one. You'll come away with a clearer view of how to prepare heirs, and how to decide what in a legacy is worth keeping.

   Alternative Thinking: What Women Investors Want with Barbara Stewart

   In today’s episode of Serious Coin, I’m talking women and wealth—because women globally control about $34 trillion in assets, yet are often sidelined when it comes to investing in “alts” (alternative assets). My guest is someone who wants to rewrite that story: Barbara Stewart, former portfolio manager, global researcher, and founder of Rich Thinking. Her latest report, Women & Alts: A Global Perspective, reveals a striking gender gap: men allocate roughly twice as much to alternative assets (private equity, real estate, private credit, hedge funds, etc.) as women. In our conversation, Barbara and I dig into why that gap exists, what holds women back, and how she’s working to shift the narrative. Along the way, she shares a family moment from 2009 that lit the fire behind her mission. Watch/listen to the insights Barbara shares and see how investing like the women in her research can reveal new strategies for smarter, more resilient wealth. Key Highlights: -Why “risk aware,” not “risk averse,” is a more accurate—and powerful—frame -How survey design, marketing, and access widen the gender gap -Why women’s thorough due diligence is a superpower, not a flaw -Which alternative sectors piqued women’s interest (health, femtech, defence) -The role of networks, deal flow, and invitation into alternative deals.

   Dubai: Why It’s The World’s Fastest Growing Millionaire Hotspot with Philippe Amarante

   In today’s episode of Serious Coin, I learn why Dubai is suddenly being talked about everywhere—and why it’s attracting the highest inflow of millionaires globally. Something’s happening beneath the headlines, and I was so curious to learn more about it. Joining me is Philippe Amarante, Managing Partner at Henley & Partners (Middle East). His firm publishes The Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2024, which highlights Dubai and the UAE as top destinations for global wealth flows. From his base in the city, Philippe has a front-row seat to the surge of capital choosing the UAE. We explore what’s fueling the trend—who’s moving, what they're seeking, what they’re giving up, and whether it marks a new paradigm for how wealthy families think about home. Tune in to learn why Dubai is commanding attention and how Philippe sees this migration shaping the future of capital. Key highlights -Why the UAE attracted 6,700+ millionaires in 2024—more than any other country. -What “tax-light” does and doesn’t mean in real life—the costs behind the appeal. -How Dubai’s safety, governance, and growth mindset amplify its gravitational pull. -What lowered Golden Visa thresholds and faster residency paths are doing to accelerate inflows. -The cultural mix in a city where expats outnumber locals—and what that means for community.
