Crown Wealth Group
Crown Wealth Group was founded in 2018 by brothers Nick and Tyler Kolbenschlag after they spent more than a decade in private wealth management. The firm offers multi-family office services centered on a Personal CFO model that coordinates planning and execution for affluent families. Investment activity spans private equity, private credit, real estate and philanthropic vehicles. Geographic focus remains North America. The firm added an Athlete Division in January 2025 after Zac O’Brien received NFL Players Association approval to advise league clients; the offering later extended to MLB, PGA, NHL and NBA/WNBA athletes. The Charlotte headquarters at 2108 South Boulevard opened in 2021. Scott Drake joined as Managing Director in fall 2024. The firm maintains active participation in the Charlotte chapter of the Financial Planning Association and the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance.
