For years, YouTube<\/a> star Hank Green<\/a> has stuck to the same straightforward investing wisdom touted by legends like Warren Buffett<\/a>: Put your money in an S&P 500 index fund and leave it alone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s advice that has paid off handsomely for millions of investors: this year alone, the index is up roughly some 16%, and averaged more than 20% in gains over the last three years and roughly 14.6% over the past two decades. In most cases, it\u2019s easily beaten investors<\/a> who try to pick individual stocks like Tesla<\/a> or Meta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But as Wall Street frets over a possible AI-driven bubble\u2014with voices from\u00a0 \u201cBig Short\u201d investor Michael Burry<\/a> to economist Mohamed El-Erian<\/a> sounding alarms\u2014Green isn\u2019t waiting around to see what happens. He\u2019s already rethinking how much of his own wealth is tied to Big Tech.<\/p>\n

A major reason: The S&P 500 is more concentrated than ever. The top 10 companies\u2014including Nvidia<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Google<\/a>, and Meta\u2014make up nearly 40% of the entire index. And nearly all of them are pouring billions into AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my money is more exposed than I would like it to be,\u201d Green said in a video<\/a> that\u2019s racked up over 1.6 million views. \u201cI feel like by virtue of having a lot of my money in the S&P 500, I am now kind of betting on a big AI future. And that\u2019s not a future that I definitely think is going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Green is hedging. He\u2019s taking 25% of the money he previously invested in S&P 500 index funds\u2014a meaningful chunk for a self-made millionaire<\/a>\u2014and moving it into a more diversified set of assets, including:<\/p>\n
