Thanks for your suggestion, this is the same solution that an accountant we know gave to this game.
Unfortunately this solution will also "lock" the money until the owner is 55 yo.
I would like to ear more intriguing options.

Locking it isn't a big deal. If you structure things properly you can invest in private companies, real estate, etc. through a pension.

The other advantage is that pensions are protected in most places. You can go bankrupt and keep anything in a pension plan usually.

While not exactly the same check out what Mitt Romney did with his backdoor roth. You take cash, convert it to a pension plan (or other tax protected account) invest into private businesses, and all the gains are protected. He has $100 Million in tax protected accounts using this method.
