About the Author

George Samuel Clason was born in Louisiana, Missouri, on November 7, 1874. He attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. Beginning a long career in publishing, he founded the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado and published the first road atlas of the United States and Canada. In 1926, he issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being “The Richest Man in Babylon,” the parable from which the present volume takes its title. These “Babylonian parables” have become a modern inspirational classic.

I regret not reading this book when I first started earning
Note that this book doesn't contain any information on how to invest if that is what you are are looking for, it instead focuses on the habits one must cultivate in order to have more control over your finances. The book conveys this via short stories which are packed full of wisdom and are not boring to read through.
Must Read for anyone who just started a job and is clueless about how to handle his finances

A very famous book written on wealth...

Reviewed in India on 28 August 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book! The author, writes about the wisdom of wealth possessed by ancient Babylonians.All historians agree with the fact that babylon was the richest of all of the ancient kingdoms, although it was located in the middle of a dry, arid desert.The information contained in this book is acquired by the careful transliteration of the ancient clay tablets discovered by archeologists over the many years after the discovery of the ruins of this once great kingdom in ancient mesopotamia.The first section deals with advice on money-making by a very rich & powerful man named Arkad.He is undoubtedly the richest man in Babylon for he even lends gold to the emperor in the times of crisis. The later half describes tales which are directly taken from the ancient tablets, all containing profound financial advice on the art of wealth-incremement.
150 odd pages, took me about 5 hours to finish it.Go for it, its really a good book unlike all those other books on the same subject that promise to provide a lot but is full of pseudoscience & BS.

Financial Wisdom at its best

Reviewed in India on 13 June 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Nobody gets rich without working and we know that we should work hard. But what does hard work mean? This book answers it well.

We all earn some money yet after years of work, many of us still live from hand to mouth. This book answers the mistake we do.

The best is, it answers the role of luck in success.

Must read for higher understanding

Reviewed in India on 1 November 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There is a beautiful way of explaining everything with a story. Explaining the basic concepts as story helps more than being bullet points as you can relate to the characters and backdrop. Want to give 4.5 but no option for that so 4. One less point is because of personal opinion though and that is usage of thy, thyself kind of lines mixing with contemporary english for direct speech offsets ourselves while reading. Only that i felt as off putting when doing prolonged read other than that, this book is a must read like rich dad poor dad and is a combination of RDPD with Laws of attraction and other money making swlf help books. Yet to implement these in real life to show results so just treat this as book review and not a testimony on the principles after personal experience. Changed my mind to give 5 * now as the book content deserves it.

An engaging multi-layered tale about finance, business and human accomplishments

Reviewed in India on 15 September 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I found the stories entertaining and the financial lessons as valid today as they were in Babylon millennia ago. This book takes the form of stories from Babylonian citizens each touching on an aspect of personal finance (save 10% of your earnings, don’t rent but rather own property and invest your money wisely so it may grow etc etc)

None of this is new to me however sometimes you need a reminder to jolt you out of bad financial habits.

Lessons my father should have taught me. First class self reflecting book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a book I should have read in my early twenties not now in my mid forties! Simple wealth creating principles. Pay day today and I have "paid" my self promptly as the book suggested.
The old style English can be slightly off putting but as a KJV reader it was no problem.
It is otherwise easy to read, laid out in short stories and highlights at end to drive home points.
God help me, I will be teaching my children this book. Highly recommended for hard workers like me but with lean purses.

Fully deserves it's status as a classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Truly excellent book... if like me, you've heard of it over the years and never really got around to reading it - now's the time to hit the order button. Very well done and the old 'trick' - which is more a method - of using stories to get points across, and make them stick in the mind, is done perfectly. Invaluable advice/reminders, and have read this multiple times, as well as buying copies for others. Fully deserves it's status as a classic.

Life changing…

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is second only to Mark Fishers ‘The Instant Millionaire‘, in my opinion, for must have books to help set you on the right road to financial freedom. (I haven’t read every single book out there so this is only in my experience).

The ‘fables’ style of providing life lessons is such a ‘digestible’ and fun way to learn important life lessons and put yourself on the road to financial freedom.

The ‘5 Laws of Gold’ and ‘7 Cures for a Lean Purse’ are simple but truly effective financial rules that are simple to follow with discipline.

‘Always pay yourself first’ is a fundamental life rule that has personally changed my life.

‘Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less that one-tenth (10%) of his earnings’ is another exercise that can change your life once disciplined in performing this every payday.

It’s one thing knowing the techniques, but you much take ACTION to receive the rewards.

Another amazing book.

Make Thy Gold Multiply

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2015

Verified Purchase

Lets face it, financial advice is a pretty dry subject but this book does a good job of keeping it interesting. I have to admit that the writing style caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting a book completely worded as though it had been penned hundreds of years ago. For that reason at first I didn't find it particularly easy to read, but as it went on the style became familiar and I grew to like it.

At it's heart it's all simple advice but it seems to make a lot of sense. I wish I'd read this book 10 years ago and applied some of the concepts, I'd probably be sat on top of a 5 figure savings pot right now, and whilst that wouldn't make me rich - it would make me pretty comfortable!

I would hugely recommend reading The Richest Man in Babylon to anyone with even a slight interest in improving their financial situation. I'll come back and upgrade the rating to five stars when I'm the richest man on my street!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There is nothing to dislike about this oldie but goodie of a book. I just can't believe it was written in the 1920s and is still relevant today. It's even harder to believe that the book is written as parables. The writer was definitely way ahead of his times. Although the language is old fashioned, it is a delightful book to have. Everyone must read this book at least 10 x in their life. Let me drop the mic here. Thanks.

Good book overall but could be improved.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2018

Verified Purchase

Some good information in the book, well presented with some nice stories. My one criticism would be that the dialogue is written in ye olde English, with "thou art" etc. Which makes no sense, since the book is set in Babylon which did not have English as its main language. So, to keep spirit with the book, the "original" dialogue would need to be translated to English anyway. In which case, why translate it to an antiquated version of English that people no longer speak? Like, you don't see French films being translated into Shakespearean English, they just get translated into modern English. Anyway, ultimately the upshot of this is that it adds a layer of unnecessary complexity into what is otherwise a good book.

A very thought provoking book, that must put into action. It provides the simple truths and tools that many wealthy men have used to get to where they are today.
At least 10% of what you earn, is yours to keep.
20% to pay your debts
70% to live on.
Do not shy away from work! But work hard and let your money work for you! Invest wisely. Plan for your future.

A must read - timeless advice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved the simplicity of these financial principles. Having read a lot of newer finance and investment books this year I was pleasantly surprised but the overlap in foundation principles.

I found each parable a little clunky to get into but that probably says more about my reading than Clason's writing. Despite this I found each parable humorous and memorable. I plan to buy this in hard copy as I think it's a must have for my book shelf and I will definitely read it again.

Money in a Rich Mans World

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book focuses upon the general principles of accumulating and managing money with Babylon as the source of inspiration. There are some very primitive, yet sensible principles which are highly interesting. Some points are obvious, yet you feel you need to be reminded of them. A very different take on finance and one that works very well indeed. It had me hooked until the end. Highly recommended!

Great book on becoming wealthy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I very seldom write reviews, but felt compelled to write one for this gem of a book. If you don't know how your friends and family are able to buy their own property and seem to be becoming wealthier by the day, but you're still living with parents wondering how you're going to get to your next pay day, then this is the book for you. It's very simple really, too simple some might say, but simple it is.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their finances and become wealthier. The book is written in a story format, which really makes it more interesting and easy to digest. It's a short read but the wisdom you will get from it will change your life and last a lifetime.

Classic money management book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are fairly experienced in money management, there are not many new ideas in here, but I loved the way the messages were weaved into stories with interesting characters and in unusual and exotic locations. There are some valuable messages in here - it’s a must-read for anyone just beginning to get a grip on their finances, and a great reminder for those of us who are already well on the way down that road. Nice and short too.

Brilliant book - buy it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Brilliant book that should be compulsory reading in schools.
Was recommended by an investing website as a starting point and I couldn't agree more. Largely common sense once you have read it!
Downside is that it repeats itself a bit but at least that reinforces the message that the author is trying to convey.
Cheap to buy but should repay itself in spades over the years if you follow the advice.

An EXCELLENT storybook, and at the same time giving financial advice hopefully one day if they haven't already the publisher could create a book that is for children and young teenagers it is one of the books that should be in every home. Hopefully, in the future, somebody would make a film on the books subject matter. Being mindful of any sexist or and racist undertones.

I intend to buy a second coffee for one of my daughters.
