Ah, that’s a tricky question! The “richest man in Babylon” isn’t a real person. It’s a story character who teaches smart money habits in the book “The Richest Man in Babylon.” The book itself might be your key to financial riches though!
George S. Clason’s 1926 book The Richest Man in Babylon tells a series of parables set 4,097 years ago in ancient Babylon to provide financial advice. Nearly a century after the parables were first published, the book is still in print and is recognized as a classic of personal finance guidance.
Yes, it’s great for basic personal finance principles, but most people here are looking for something a little more nuanced.
