Most brokers chase million-dollar listings. But there’s a discreet class of dealmakers who regularly close $100M+ private asset trades—across superyachts, private islands, cargo fleets, and long-range jets. These aren’t posted online. They’re whispered between the verified, the trusted, and the connected. For brokers hungry to break into this tier, knowing how these deals are structured—and how to get access—is everything.

The Hidden Landscape of Nine-Figure Deals


🛥️ Ultra Assets, Ultra Vetting


In trades crossing $100M, the asset is often just the tip of the iceberg. You’re dealing with:

  • Flag state registrations & international legal compliance

  • Political risk insurance and cross-border tax structuring

  • Buyer anonymity via trusts or shell entities

  • Dual-broker chains where both parties are vetted before the first call

These trades involve not just wealth—but reputational, legal, and logistical precision.


✈️ Who Are the Players?


You're not talking to a single person. You're dealing with a circle of influence, including:

  • Family offices and legal counsels

  • Captains, pilots, or operational teams

  • Security firms assessing asset mobility or threat zones

  • Special-purpose finance arms handling part-cash, part-assets, or even carbon credits

Only brokers who are seen as discreet, verified, and globally competent are brought in.



How These Deals Are Structured


1. The Match Is Everything

Nine-figure trades don’t start with public listings. They start with Letters of Interest (LOIs) or asset sheets moving in quiet, verified circles. The first step is trust. The second is match.


⚙️ On Enthuzias, brokers can submit a verified LOI from a buyer or an asset listing. Our team reviews, validates, and then matches it with a trusted counterparty from our broker network—globally.


2. Silence Is Currency

There are no “For Sale” signs here. In fact, exclusivity clauses often prevent public disclosure until after the deal closes.Brokers earn trust not by volume—but by silence, precision, and speed.


3. Multi-Jurisdiction Compliance

Expect assets flagged in Malta, owned via Luxembourg, managed in Dubai, and inspected in Singapore. You need:

  • Cross-border tax insights

  • Dual-agent cooperation

  • Sanctions screening

  • KYC-ready counterparties

Enthuzias facilitates this by maintaining a deal-ready, compliance-conscious broker pool.


Broker Strategies to Break Into the $100M+ Club


  1. Build a Digital Footprint of TrustEnsure your online presence signals high-value credibility. Every article, LinkedIn post, or deal mention counts.
