Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

George Samuel Clason (November 7, 1874 – April 7, 1957 ), also known as George S. Clason, was born in Louisiana, Missouri, and died in Napa, California.

During his eighty two years he was a soldier, businessman and writer. He served in the United States Army during the Spanish–American War.

Clason started two companies, the Clason Map Company of Denver Colorado and the Clason Publishing Company. The Clason Map Company was the first to publish a road atlas of the United States and Canada, and did not survive the Great Depression.

George Clason is best known for writing a series of informational pamphlets about being thrifty and how to achieve financial success. He started writing the pamphlets in 1926, using parables that were set in ancient Babylon. Banks and insurance companies began to distribute the parables, and the most famous ones were compiled into the book The Richest Man in Babylon. Clason's book "Gold Ahead" was renamed as The Richest Man in Babylon. Clason was married twice, the first time to Ida Ann Venable and the second to Anna Burt.

I read this book for the first time when I was 23 and I recently purchased it again as a gift. Looking over it again, I remembered how many of the foundational ideas that I have come to practices with finances originated from what I read in this book. It is easy to read, not self-indulgent, and presents the information in an original and practical way. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get a general grasp and idea of finances and money literacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A FUN READ with basic tips about personal finance
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022
Verified Purchase
I recently heard a radio host recommend this short book as a must read about personal finance and how to handle money. To be honest, I've never heard of The Richest Man in Babylon and was totally shocked to discover it has sold over 4 million copies!

In a nutshell, this short book contains parables set in Babylonian times. Some of the language is dated and a bit clumsey to read in modern times, but it makes for an interesting read. Rather than just telling the reader to live on less than you earn and save 10% from your income for retirement, the book tells the tale of someone in ancient Babylonian times who struggled from paycheck to paycheck and sought the advice of the richest man in Babylon. The rich man goes on to share "secrets" to his financial success, which are basic, well-proven tactics for building personal wealth (eg, work hard, save for retirement, carefully invest your money after seeking the advice of wise men, never invest in a business you are unfamiliar with, etc.).

I strongly recommend this book for teenagers and young adults, but it is also helpful for anyone desiring basic knowledge on how to save and build personal wealth. For more advanced readers, I'd strongly recommend The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. 👍👍

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully great book, with mediocre formatting
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022

I can't say enough good things about this book. Lay hands on it in any edition and learn how to make yourself effective in the world of money. The lessons here are classic and eternal.

Unfortunately the format of this particular version of the book is rather poor. The titles of chapters are hardly distinguishable from the primary text, and often appear at the extreme upper right of the page, making them difficult to see, and easily recognize when you have come to the end of a chapter or the beginning of a new one.

There are other versions of this same text that are available for somewhat more money that are totally worth it in terms of a more legible format.

I got these copies as a gift for a 20-something bridegroom and his party of groomsmen. Despite the mediocre formatting, I believe they will still find this illuminating and useful in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars I see why this one is so popular

"A portion of all that you earn is yours to keep." If you understand that, you understand this book. I had heard so many good things about this book from motivation speakers like Jim Rohn and others. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this one. It's written as a series of fictional stories. It's not a historical record, because the book was written in the 20th century and it's based during biblical times. The less on of the book is that being rich is not a wish or a hope, but a process. I don't read this book much anymore, but I enjoyed my three read-throughs. I'll read this one more when I have the time. One of the stories in particular I didn't like, and that one stands out in my mind (the one about the spoiled nephew) but the other stories are rock solid.
