How Immigrants Quietly Build $10M+ Net Worth

High net worth is rarely built through one clever trade. At Open Atlas Summit 2026, Arjun Bhasin and Nitin Bajaj will explore the quieter mechanics of long-term wealth: career income, ownership, business equity, real estate, disciplined saving, risk management and time.

Meet the Speakers

Arjun Bhasin

Technology professional at Meta with experience in short-term rental investing, bringing a perspective on building assets alongside a demanding career.

Nitin Bajaj

Entrepreneur and host of The INDUStry Show, where he has interviewed founders and business leaders across the Indian-American professional community.

What This Session Is About

The “$10M+” headline is not a promise or a formula. It is a useful way to examine how wealth can compound when high income is converted into assets instead of permanently expanding lifestyle. For immigrants, the plan also needs to account for cross-border family obligations, taxes, visas and uncertainty about where life will eventually be based.

What Will the Session Explore?

Income creates capacity; ownership creates upside

A strong career can produce savings, but large wealth outcomes often require ownership—equity in companies, businesses, real estate or other productive assets.

Lifestyle inflation is a silent compounding tax

As income rises, recurring spending can rise just as quickly. Maintaining a meaningful savings and investment rate creates capital for future opportunities.

Real estate is a business, not passive magic

Short-term rentals can produce income but also involve leverage, occupancy risk, regulation, operations and concentration. Arjun’s experience can add a practical operator lens beyond social-media return claims.

Diversification protects the plan

Concentrated employer stock, a single property market or one business can create wealth and also destroy it. Risk management matters more as assets grow.

Taxes and immigration can affect the structure

Where someone lives, works, owns assets and may eventually relocate can have legal and tax consequences. High-net-worth planning increasingly requires coordinated professional advice.

Why This Session Matters

The useful lesson is behavioral, not aspirational: earn well, own productive assets, avoid fragile leverage, keep learning and give compounding enough time. For immigrants building from a new country, wealth can also create something more valuable than a number- career and geographic optionality.
