Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich

Robert Frank is the author of the hot new book about the fictional country of Richistan.

Robert said he got the idea while talking to a  yacht owner from Texas.  Looking out over the marina the guy said: "You look at all these boats and you'd think everyone was making loads of money. It's like it's a different country."

 The rich getting richer isn't really new.  However the new super rich appear to be forming their own virtual country.  Robert Frank decided to name this virtual breakaway Republic...  "Richistan".

My Review and Thoughts 

A penny for my thoughts? You cheap b*stard!!!

This section will be updated shortly with my review of the book and thoughts on the issues it raises.

I really enjoyed reading The Millionaire Next Door and The Millionaire Mind so I have high hopes that I will also enjoy this book.

If you have already finished reading Richistan, please leave a comment in the guestbook.

Wealth Facts 

Best time to get rich in America is NOW

Don't hate the rich, they also do a world of good for charity. Besides, you might just become one of the super rich some day.

The Onion has a hilarious video parody about The Rich Falling Behind the Super Rich. Watch it Here

Never before in history have so many millionaires and billionaires existed. There are half a million American households with assets of more than 10 million dollars!!! That's right 500,000 decamillionaires!

The accumulated wealth of America's top 1% (approximately $1.35 TRILLION) is greater than the total national incomes of Canada, France, and Italy.

Roughly half of all American wealth has been created in the past 10 years. You have a better chance of becoming rich NOW than has ever existed.
