From saving for your first home, to buying it and then building off its wealth base; making the most out of your Superannuation, identifying the best use of your household’s surplus income, or building a multi-million dollar property portfolio … it’s possible, but we know most of us need professional assistance along the way. Our Story Ben Kingsley founded Empower Wealth in late 2007 after a successful career in Resort Tourism Sales and Marketing. Passionate about personal wealth creation through property investing, yet frustrated by the lack of independent property advice and the quality of research out there to support investors, Ben turned his focus towards building a truly specialist advisory practice. Handpicking the very best and most qualified specialists in the industry, Empower Wealth has become one of Australia’s leading Property Wealth Advisory Consultancies with a major point difference — everything is under one roof. Ben’s objective for the business has always been very simple — to provide clients with access to specialist advice, leading edge research and professional tools that will help them achieve superior investment returns and, ultimately, total financial independence. His philosophy is that with teamwork, collaboration, accountability, a commitment to building knowledge and a support network of qualified professionals, anyone can truly improve their wealth outcomes — almost irrespective of what income they currently earn. This approach, coupled with his experience in building his own family’s multimillion-dollar property portfolio, has seen Ben personally help thousands of individuals and households invest, and see a return in, hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of residential property. With 20 years’ experience in property investing, finance and wealth creation, together with a comprehensive understanding of industry regulations, issues and trends, Ben is a genuine expert in property finance and money management.
