About the Author

Thomas Stanley and William Danko are the researchers who discovered real millionaires drive Toyotas, not Ferraris, through 20+ years studying wealth.

Stanley (PhD, Georgia State) and Danko (Marketing Professor, SUNY Albany) interviewed 1,000+ millionaires, revealing 80% are first-generation wealthy. The Millionaire Next Door sold 4+ million copies, spending 3 years on bestseller lists. Their research influenced Dave Ramsey, Robert Kiyosaki, and modern FIRE movement. Stanley's other books reached 500,000+ readers. Their "PAW/UAW" formula became standard wealth measurement.

What sets them apart: They proved wealth is what you don't spend, revolutionizing how Americans think about rich versus wealthy.

Families following their principles achieve 7x higher net worth than income peers.
