427: Net Worth Of $10M+ - The 50/50 Split: When The Wealth Elevator Drops a Few Floors & Your Net Worth Drops Drastically

In this episode of Millionaires Unveiled, host Jace Mattinson sits down with real estate investor and educator Lane Kawaoka to talk about what happens when your net worth takes a 50% hit — and how to climb back stronger.

Lane opens up about the impact of recent market shifts on his portfolio, the lessons he’s learned from holding through tough cycles, and the importance of understanding your “floor” in the wealth-building process. From workforce housing to multifamily syndications, he shares real strategies for navigating today’s volatile economy and building long-term stability.

He also introduces his new book, The Wealth Elevator, a guide for accredited investors who want to move up the financial floors strategically, safely, and with purpose.

Whether you’re just starting in real estate or already managing millions, this conversation delivers hard-earned insights — with a dose of humility and humor along the way.

• The 50% net worth drop and what caused it

• How to think through market cycles and holding periods
