Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of Britain's 250 richest people in history, from the time of William the Conqueror to the present. In this book, Philip Beresford, the author of The Sunday Times annual 'Rich List' and history expert William D. Rubinstein, have turned their attention to the wealthiest individuals in British history, revealing how they made their fortunes, the role played by luck, contacts and violence, and how successful they were in hanging on to their gains. People like: - William of Warenne, the Earl of Surrey in the 1050s, who if he were alive today would be worth nearly £74bn - over three times richer than Britain's current richest man (steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal). - Archbishop Thomas Beckett, who took 250 servants with him on a visit to Paris in 1158, and was worth over £24bn. Not that his fortune was much use when he was murdered in his own cathedral on the orders of Henry II. - Robert Spencer, forebear of Princess Diana, who made a fortune in the wool trade, owned vast tracts of land in the colony of Virginia. and accumulated a fortune equivalent to £19bn in today's money. - John Scott, a celebrated gambler whose skills and luck helped him to a £500,000 (£3.1bn) fortune. "As rich as Scott" was a popular saying of eighteenth century society. The authors provide a fascinating account of personal wealth and influence, noting how, throughout history, the opportunities for aggrandising wealth have been changed by technology, demographics, taxation, politics and war. If you are interested in business, society and the shifting patterns of advantage then you will find this book absorbing, intriguing and insightful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Americans, we have been taught to be obsessed with money and the people who have it. We are curious about what they buy, where they vacation, and what separates them from the rest of us. Rich puts the American obsession with all things money into much-needed perspective and context, exposing the origins of the upper class. The book traces the history of the American rich from 1920 up to today, examining the who, what, when, where, and why of the wealthy elite. With its hundreds of compelling, real-life stories, Rich offers a fascinating window into this world few ever see. Samuel delves into the secrets about the rich and famous: Who were the Gateses, Bransons, and Trumps (and even Paris Hiltons) of the past? How did the rich show off their status? What did they splurge on and how did they scrimp when times got tough? Rich also explores the rise of the first mass affluent class in America and the virtual demise of old money as we knew it. Enlightening and often surprising, Rich gives us a deeper understanding of our country's wealthiest and most enigmatic class.
Book Synopsis Richer Than a Millionaire by : William D. Danko
Download or read book Richer Than a Millionaire written by William D. Danko and published by Million Dollar Press. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity Having taught thousands of students over our careers, it is clear to the authors that many young people are clueless about their direction in life. Yes, they want a career, and yes, they want a good life, but knowing what to do is to many quite a challenge. Some say they want to be rich, but they really don't know what that means. In a sense, to paraphrase the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci, many are like ships on the high seas of life without rudders! They have tremendous potential but no direction. In our book, Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity, we hope to inspire and to point all people (but especially young adults and concerned parents and grandparents who want sound advice for the next generation) in what we believe is the right direction. This direction has been reinforced by over forty years of academic and consulting research on what it really means to be rich. Our approach relies heavily on tried-and-true social science research methods of personal interviews and large-scale structured surveys. In other words, we have more than our personal opinions to offer. While there are many self-help books about wealth or happiness, we believe our book is unique in that it combines these topics. We show that it is possible to be modestly wealthy and happy. In order to reach true prosperity- health, happiness, and wealth, in all likelihood behavior modification will be required. And change is hard. Benjamin Franklin understood this, as he concluded in The Way to Wealth essay 250 years ago: the people heard the advice, agreed with it, and then practiced the contrary.

Book Synopsis I Am Rich, I Am Very Very Rich by : Mister Money
Download or read book I Am Rich, I Am Very Very Rich written by Mister Money and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Show off your outrageous disposable income with this amazing, ridiculous, opulent, luxurious manuscript. This book is perfect for: An item to show off on your #richkidsofinstagram feed A conversation starter for your next outrageous caviar laden 1,000 year old wine and cheese / single issue advocacy reception A coffee table book for your evil lair, island get-a-way, or fifth vacation home. The multi-millionaire who will not be shamed into responsibly, socially conscious uses of their money. A gift to a loved one, namely myself because of the royalties this book is worth. But seriously, this book is written as both a shameless capitalist endeavor and a social experiment. By a shameless capitalist spirit, I mean that we are supposed to be living in a new world, where the internet gives us an amazing opportunity to develop wealth in an entrepreneurial manner. However, everytime I wikipedia some famous internet billionaire, I find that they went to the absolute best schools in the nation, had a degree in computer science, and some start-up money from a family member to launch a website or product. Instead, I'm sitting here with a PhD in a social science, typing these words in an attempt to see if anything with a half-assed marketing plan will actually sell Now if you are a #richkidsofinstagram or trust-fund baby who wasted much of the opportunity you had in your elite schools, well, there will be a simple version of this book made available if you take enough pity upon me to buy it. As for the social experiment, perhaps this book functions as an avenue to see how foolish people can be on the internet. Perhaps this book will result in an amazing peer-reviewed article in a prestigious journal, thus eternally out of reach of any graduate student without access to a library with a specific set of journal subscriptions. Perhaps the social experiment is inverted, as I am already rich and just wanting something to talk about at my next decadent social extravaganza. Actually, more than any of the aforementioned reasons, the primary impetus for this book was to win a metaphorical bet with my wife.We are too poor to wager anything against each other, and the effort is pointless with a joint bank account, but good God almighty will I never shut up about this book and that bet if this book sells a single damn copy. If you've actually read this far, then great. You are a man/woman/alien/child who stole their parent's credit card and will hopefully click enough buttons to buy this book. However, instead of talking about what this book means for you, and your ever increasing vanity or need to feel completion, attainment, and psychological sense of security through the purchase of material goods with a socially constructed hierarchy, let's take a moment to talk about what the purchase of this book means for me. Actually, another moment, since I just used half of this description to talk about myself and my needs above. When you purchase the full paperback version of this book, you'll be providing me with a 2,000 dollar royalty (don't cheap out and go for the kindle version, that just shows you a "middle class"). What does that mean for me and my family? It means a lot actually: 10 months of my toddler's health insurance 2.5 months of my mortgage That 401k I never started A college fund, else my child will be eternally stuck making less than 10 dollars an hour or faking a disability for government benefits Does your facebook have a ton of people posting gofundme links for their health insurance? Probably not, because again, you have to be insanely rich to even buy this book. Well, consider this the classy version of a gofundme account, just on amazon, and written as a lackluster book that may or may not be complete garbage once you buy it.

Book Synopsis The Millionaire Next Door by : Thomas J. Stanley
Download or read book The Millionaire Next Door written by Thomas J. Stanley and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the rich get rich? An updated edition of the “remarkable” New York Times bestseller, based on two decades of research (The Washington Post). Most of the truly wealthy in the United States don’t live in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue. They live next door. America’s wealthy seldom get that way through an inheritance or an advanced degree. They bargain-shop for used cars, raise children who don’t realize how rich their families are, and reject a lifestyle of flashy exhibitionism and competitive spending. In fact, the glamorous people many of us think of as “rich” are actually a tiny minority of America’s truly wealthy citizens—and behave quite differently than the majority. At the time of its first publication, The Millionaire Next Door was a groundbreaking examination of America’s rich—exposing for the first time the seven common qualities that appear over and over among this exclusive demographic. This edition includes a new foreword by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley—updating the original content in the context of the financial crash and the twenty-first century. “Their surprising results reveal fundamental qualities of this group that are diametrically opposed to today’s earn-and-consume culture.” —Library Journal

Download or read book Tax the Rich! written by Morris Pearl and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerfully persuasive and thoroughly entertaining guide to the most effective way to un-rig the economy and fix inequality, from America's wealthiest “class traitors” The vast majority of Americans—71 percent—believe the economy is rigged in favor of the rich. Guess what? They’re right. How do you rig an economy? You start with the tax code. In Tax the Rich! former BlackRock executive Morris Pearl, the millionaire chair of the Patriotic Millionaires, and Erica Payne, the organization’s founder, take readers on an engaging and enlightening insider’s tour of the nation’s tax code, explaining exactly how “the rich”—and the politicians they control—manipulate the U.S. tax code to ensure the rich get richer, and everyone else is left holding the bag. Blunt and irreverent, Tax the Rich! unapologetically dismantles the “intellectual” justifications for a tax code that virtually guarantees destabilizing levels of inequality and consequent social unrest. Infographics, charts, cartoons, and lively characters including “the Werkhardts” and “the Slumps” make a complicated subject accessible (and, yes, sometimes even funny) and illuminate the practical reforms that can put America on the road to stability and shared prosperity before it’s too late. Never have the arguments in this book been more timely—or more important.

Book Synopsis Billionaire Wilderness by : Justin Farrell
Download or read book Billionaire Wilderness written by Justin Farrell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing look at the intersection of wealth, philanthropy, and conservation Billionaire Wilderness takes you inside the exclusive world of the ultra-wealthy, showing how today's richest people are using the natural environment to solve the existential dilemmas they face. Justin Farrell spent five years in Teton County, Wyoming, the richest county in the United States, and a community where income inequality is the worst in the nation. He conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews, gaining unprecedented access to tech CEOs, Wall Street financiers, oil magnates, and other prominent figures in business and politics. He also talked with the rural poor who live among the ultra-wealthy and often work for them. The result is a penetrating account of the far-reaching consequences of the massive accrual of wealth, and an eye-opening and sometimes troubling portrait of a changing American West where romanticizing rural poverty and conserving nature can be lucrative—socially as well as financially. Weaving unforgettable storytelling with thought-provoking analysis, Billionaire Wilderness reveals how the ultra-wealthy are buying up the land and leveraging one of the most pristine ecosystems in the world to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder. The affluent of Teton County are people burdened by stigmas, guilt, and status anxiety—and they appropriate nature and rural people to create more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Incisive and compelling, Billionaire Wilderness reveals the hidden connections between wealth concentration and the environment, two of the most pressing and contentious issues of our time.
Book Synopsis Rich Food, Poor Food by : David C. Sutton
Download or read book Rich Food, Poor Food written by David C. Sutton and published by Chapelfields Press. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich Food Poor Food is a study of the two food traditions in western society: the food eaten by rich people and the food eaten by poor people. It suggests that, until very recent times, the two traditions have rarely intersected.The book studies the gastronomy of the rich, with some extraordinary accounts of extravagant banquets, but also underlines that poor people had food preferences and pleasures which mattered greatly to them. It contrasts, for example, the turbot of the rich with the mackerel of the poor; the asparagus of the rich with the leeks of the poor; and the truffles of the rich with the mushrooms of the poor.Among the features of the book are its use of a wide range of food proverbs to illustrate its themes, and several humorous sections on the absurdities of etiquette in Western Europe in the past five hundred years - many of which survive to this day.
