The Wealth Ladder

Proven Strategies for Every Step of Your Financial Life




'Investors of all ages would benefit from reading Mr Maggiulli’s book.' Wall Street Journal

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Why do some people continue to build wealth, while others get stuck?

Most money strategies fail because they don’t adapt to their creator's changing financial circumstances. As you get richer, the tools you once used to get ahead stop working: you need fresh strategies that suit your new level of wealth.

Enter The Wealth Ladder. It breaks wealth into six distinct levels, with tailored advice for every stage – all to offer a new philosophy for earning, spending and investing money. The only question left is, are you ready to climb?

'Highly recommended' William Bernstein, author of The Four Pillars of Investing
'Refreshingly honest' Annie Duke, author of Thinking in Bets
'An incredible book' Lawrence Yeo, author of More to That
