Why Wine Has Become The Newest Asset Class To Produce Big Returns That Investors Can No Longer Ignore

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an incredible guest, Anthony Zhang. Today he talks about wine as an exciting investment opportunity, entrepreneurship, and startups, learning lessons he leverages into launching Vinovest, why wine has become the newest asset class to produce big returns, pros and cons, and risks and trends of investing in wine, what are top performing wine investments, and other means of preserving and growing wealth!

Anthony Zhang is a serial entrepreneur, mentor, Angel Investor, Co-founder & CEO at Vinovest, the world’s first platform for investing in fine wine, an asset class that has traditionally only been available to the ultra-wealthy and has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last three decades. He has previously founded and sold two companies, EnvoyNow and KnowYourVC, held leadership positions at Blockfolio, and is a board member at RateMyInvestor.

At a young age, Anthony really wanted to be a business owner. It happened that he dropped out of college to pursue his side hustle business full time. For him, it was some amazing years of learning a ton before it scaled up to 20 markets nationwide. Later, Anthony began to diversify and figure out other places where he will be able to work his money focusing on investing and wealth-building!
