👉 Wealth engineering refers to the strategic manipulation of financial instruments, assets, or company operations to artificially inflate their value, often for personal or corporate gain. This practice involves techniques such as restructuring debt to lower interest burdens, creating complex financial products with embedded fees, or leveraging tax incentives to boost reported earnings. While it can enhance short-term financial performance and shareholder returns, wealth engineering is often controversial due to its potential to mislead investors, distort market valuations, and create unsustainable financial positions. It blurs the line between legitimate financial optimization and unethical manipulation, raising concerns about transparency and long-term economic health. (300 tokens)
