Learn from Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families to Protect Your Farm
In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we’re joined by Danielle Darcy of UBS Wealth Management, who specializes in working with ultra-high-net-worth clients—families and individuals managing $40+ million in assets.
What’s surprising? The strategies that keep wealthy families wealthy aren’t about having more money—they’re about structure, intentionality, and planning. And many of those same principles apply directly to farm operations of all sizes.
In this conversation, we cover:
How Danielle got into wealth management and what most people misunderstand about it
The habits and mindset that separate families who preserve wealth from those who lose it
Why the ultra-wealthy review financial and estate plans quarterly—and what farmers can learn from that
Tax strategies used by high-net-worth families (and how scaled-down versions apply to farms)
Entity structuring, gifting strategies, and using life insurance as a liquidity tool
Common mistakes families make when they wait too long to plan transitions
Why only 30% of family businesses survive into the second generation—and how communication plays a bigger role than money
Risk management basics every farm should have in place
The growing role of women in farm ownership, inheritance, and wealth decisions
How the ultra-wealthy use philanthropy to teach stewardship, purpose, and legacy
Danielle also shares practical takeaways any farmer can use today, regardless of operation size or net worth.
