127 founders (net worth: ~$1M–$100M+) opened up their personal books. Want to see how your finances stack up? https://www.joinhampton.com/wealth-report Jess Chan scaled to 7 figures fast, then tore it all down. Today, she’s worth ~$10M, spends less than ever, and says profit > revenue every time. Here’s what we talk about: Jess hit $40K/month as a freelancer, then walked away to build her agency, Longplay. Why chasing $1M in revenue nearly burned her out, and what she did to rebuild. The shift from ego-driven growth to sustainable, profitable business. How embracing feminine leadership transformed her company and her life. Her net worth is ~$10M, but her monthly spend has dropped to ~$6K. The underrated skill: learning how to spend money well. Why contentment and ambition can coexist and how chasing more can actually cost you. Jess’s financial setup: super simple. Mostly ETFs. Barely checks it.
