Buy, borrow, die. In 2026, this wealth-building tax approach remains one of the most powerful ways to legally minimize taxes. When structured the right way, it can dramatically shrink your tax bill—and in some situations, nearly eliminate it altogether—by using assets as leverage instead of triggering taxable income. It’s no coincidence that this strategy is a favorite among America’s ultra-wealthy.

In this video, tax expert Karlton Dennis unpacks the buy, borrow, die strategy from start to finish. He breaks it down in a clear, straightforward way so viewers can understand not just what it is, but how it actually works in practice. Each stage of the strategy is explained in detail, along with the reasoning behind why it’s structured that way.

This strategy can be especially valuable for high earners making six, seven, or eight figures who are tired of watching a large portion of their wealth disappear to taxes. However, getting it right requires careful execution and advanced planning. For best results, work closely with a tax professional when implementing the buy, borrow, die strategy.
