Ryan D’Agostino, former senior editor at Money, wanted to know how the wealthiest in America got that way. So he asked. Knocking on 500 doors in some of the most affluent zip codes in America, D’Agostino met with men and women who welcomed him in and shared their most difficult financial decisions, toughest setbacks, greatest strategies, most triumphant moments, and deepest insights.

In Rich Like Them, he weaves together what he learned and offers maxims for achieving wealth, such as “Never Let Pride Get in the Way of Profit,” and “When you fail miserably, be thankful.” Filled with inspiring stories and straight-up advice, Rich Like Them is a lively and practical get-rich guide that any reader can follow.
