George S Clason Richest Man in Babylon
Build wealth

The masterwork in personal finance

A proven system for attaining financial security

“If you have not acquired more than a bare existence since ye were youths, it is because you either have failed to learn the laws that govern the building of wealth, or else you do not observe them.”

Anyone can build and maintain wealth

Arkad, known far and wide in ancient Babylon for his great wealth, reveals how he amassed riches and gained influence by implementing financial principles related to securing income, moderating spending, privileging savings, and investing intelligently. Through a series of engaging parables, readers discover how they, too, can apply these commonsense strategies to achieve financial independence.

Essential financial principles covered include:

  • Pay yourself first
  • Live within your means
  • Increase your capacity for earning
  • Minimize risk in financial investments
  • Attract good luck
  • Secure an income stream
  • And more!
Wealth is a power

Richest Man in Babylon 3D Image
Originally circulated as pamphlets by banks and insurance companies

Initially distributed as a series of pamphlets by US banks and insurance companies, the stories were collected in The Richest Man of Babylon in 1926. Nearly 100 years later, the parables continue to inspire readers around the world to take control of their finances and enjoy the freedom that effective money management brings.

Publishing tycoon George S. Clason shares his financial wisdom in these Babylonian parables

George Samuel Clason was born on November 7, 1974 in a small town in Missouri. After serving in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War, he built an illustrious career in publishing and founded one of the most successful map companies in America. Identifying the great advantages available to those who follow simple financial principles, he recast elementary lessons in savings and investment as parables set in ancient Babylon.

This reproduction of the 1926 edition includes:

  • The Richest Man in Babylon Tells His System
  • Out of the Ruins of Babylon
  • Seven Remedies for a Lean Purse
  • The Treasures of Babylon
  • The Babylon Course in Financial Success

The classic book for learning MONEY BASICS

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.
