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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A FUN READ with basic tips about personal finance
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022
I recently heard a radio host recommend this short book as a must read about personal finance and how to handle money. To be honest, I've never heard of The Richest Man in Babylon and was totally shocked to discover it has sold over 4 million copies!

In a nutshell, this short book contains parables set in Babylonian times. Some of the language is dated and a bit clumsey to read in modern times, but it makes for an interesting read. Rather than just telling the reader to live on less than you earn and save 10% from your income for retirement, the book tells the tale of someone in ancient Babylonian times who struggled from paycheck to paycheck and sought the advice of the richest man in Babylon. The rich man goes on to share "secrets" to his financial success, which are basic, well-proven tactics for building personal wealth (eg, work hard, save for retirement, carefully invest your money after seeking the advice of wise men, never invest in a business you are unfamiliar with, etc.).

I strongly recommend this book for teenagers and young adults, but it is also helpful for anyone desiring basic knowledge on how to save and build personal wealth. For more advanced readers, I'd strongly recommend The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. 👍👍
