About The Ten Roads to Riches
Many people complain they don’t have the ability or know how to accumulate wealth. Self-made billionaire and Fisher Investments CEO, Ken Fisher shows you how the rich got rich – and how you can too! In his 2008 best seller, The Ten Roads to Riches: The Way the Wealthy Got There (and How You Can Too!) Ken Fisher addresses this common complaint head-on, showing you how the wealthy made their fortunes. And most of them did it in just one of ten ways. Some inherited, capitalized on, and increased their wealth; some got lucky (or smart) and married well; and others went the traditional route and saved almost every dollar they made—then invested the savings.

No matter which path people traveled to great wealth, Ken Fisher writes about them, showing what each person did to achieve his/her current wealth. Ken Fisher also writes why some paths are less ideal than others and why some are slower than others—and why some require a great deal of luck. For example, many think fame is the best path to achieving great wealth, and Ken Fisher shows how show business can make money, but it’s not true riches unless you know what to do with that money.
Readers will find The Ten Roads to Riches entertaining and informative. After all, who doesn't want to learn how the rich got rich – and maybe even get rich themselves?
Complaints and Reviews of Ken Fisher's Book
While Ken Fisher's book received many positive reviews and ultimately reached best-seller status, there were some that felt it didn’t live up to expectations. One reader complained that the book lacked substance. Another complaint was the book wasn't very comprehensive.
In response to these complaints, and made clear in the introduction, the book wasn’t designed to be a step-by-step guide with in-depth biographies. Rather, the book was intended to be an enjoyable and engaging look at some common ways people have built their wealth. Throughout, there are multiple examples of people that took the particular road and ideas for the reader to pursue. For those interested in learning more, each chapter offers additional suggested readings.
