City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and JP Global Advisors Founder Jeannette Paulino Host Exclusive Fireside Chat at Anthony Ritossa's 24th Global Family Office Investment Summit

Embracing a Billionaire Mindset In Both Business and Life is Key to Unlocking Opportunities

MIAMI, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Jeannette Paulino, Founder of JP Global Advisors, took center stage at Anthony Ritossa's 24th Global Family Office Investment Summit at Miami's Trump International Beach Resort, engaging in a fireside chat titled "Where Innovation Meets Opportunity." The discussion underscored Miami's rapid ascent as a global financial and technology hub and the transformative power of cross-border collaboration.

Mayor Suarez highlighted the Miami-Dubai Sister City agreement, signed with the Crown Prince of Dubai, emphasizing its role in fostering international investment, cultural exchange, and economic growth. He shared insights on how Miami can "dream big" and learn from Dubai's leadership in hospitality, business-friendly policies, and emphasis on quality of life, reinforcing the importance of broadening global horizons.

The Future of Miami: Finance, Technology, and Biotech

Ms. Paulino and Mayor Suarez explored Miami's five-year vision, which prioritizes safety, low taxes and innovation with the convergence of finance, technology, and biotechnology among the key drivers of economic expansion. Under Mayor Suarez's tenure, the city has attracted companies managing over $12 trillion in assets, solidifying its reputation as a premier destination for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

"It was an honor to lead a fireside chat with Mayor Suarez where we explored Miami's remarkable transformation into a global hub for tech, innovation, and investment. We also highlighted the Miami-Dubai sister city agreement and the immense potential it holds for unlocking cross-border investments and exchanging best practices to fuel economic expansion in both cities," Ms. Paulino said.

Miami: The Crypto Capital of the Future

A key theme of the discussion was Miami's leadership in cryptocurrency and digital assets. Mayor Suarez reaffirmed his commitment to positioning Miami as the crypto capital of Florida, with ambitions to make Florida the global epicenter of blockchain innovation. Following the Summit, Suarez posted to social media - "Miami is the crypto capital of Florida, and Florida is poised to be the crypto capital of the world."

"I have been a strong proponent of cryptocurrency and first introduced it as an investable asset class at one of our family office events in Miami back in 2017—when Bitcoin was only $3,000 per coin. At the time, we were ahead of the curve, but since then, many family offices have demonstrated remarkable foresight in embracing crypto as part of their investment strategies. The support of the Trump administration in shaping the regulatory landscape for digital assets is invaluable as this sector continues to evolve," said Anthony Ritossa, Founder & Chairman of the Summit Series.

Embracing a Billionaire Mindset

Mayor Suarez underscored the importance of adopting a billionaire mindset in both business and life. "We all have a finite amount of time on this earth, and we need to build our ecosystem around our time as our greatest resource," he remarked. He encouraged Summit attendees to cultivate a mindset of being able to do what you want to and emphasizing that true wealth is not just about financial success but about the freedom to live life on one's own terms. By aligning passion with action, he suggested, anyone can unlock their inner billionaire and create a life of fulfillment and impact.

The Global Family Office Investment Summits are premier gatherings of the world's most influential family offices, investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. The event continues to drive high-level conversations that shape the future of wealth, innovation, and global economic collaboration.
