The author, Todd Babbitt, is a 33-year-old multimillionaire. He earned his first million at the age of 28. He has no special talents, no privileged family members or connections. He began with a net worth of near zero and through common sense, persistence and a strong desire to gain wealth he's become rich. Babbitt's book comprises two parts, the first of which explains how he obtained his money through savvy real estate speculation, later supplemented by investing in the stock market. The second part of the book focuses on the steps that Babbitt recommends for anyone interested in following his path and becoming multimillionaires themselves. While many books written about an individual's climb to wealth and success make for very interesting reading, few inspire readers to take action themselves. Most people simply can't conceive of ever inventing the computer, becoming a financial wizard or striking oil. My Road to Wealth differs in that it is not only an interesting read but a money making directions manual. Readers are able to use what they have learned to profit for themselves. No super human talent required. For anyone determined to become wealthy, they would do well to follow the advice of Todd Babbitt, whose credentials are as legitimate as the money he takes to the bank.
