Jacket Description:
We've seen their homes. We've heard about their loves. Now, we get a glimpse at their bottom lines.
In The Rich & Famous Money Book, SmartMoney magazine's Jean Chatzky looks at the investment strategies of leading celebrities while providing a wealth of financial planning advice that the rest of us can profit from. Discover how those enjoying the high life can suddenly find themselves without a dime. Or how prudent investors who earned a small fortune as a result of fame were able to transform it into true, lasting financial security. How much did Mike Ditka lose on his failed "Ditka Dogs" weiner franchise? How much of Jeff Blake's investments are in real estate?
Here, celebrities such as Matt Lauer, Dennis Rodman, Dave Barry, Alan Dershowitz, Apollo 13's Jim Lovell, designer Nicole Miller, chef Emeril (The Essence of Emeril) Lagasse, Raoul Felder, and Ivana Trump speak candidly and at length about a wide range of money issues. Their portfolios are as diverse as their personalities. Their preferred investment instruments range from real estate and mutual funds to blue chip stocks and municipal bonds. Their insightful stories are filled with words of wisdom and helpful tips on everything from the financial lessons taught them by their parents to the ideals they'd like to teach their own children, from the investment mistakes they've made to the financial setbacks they've experiencedand overcome.
Along with surprising details on what company stocks these rich and famous names hold, and how their assets are allocated, there's also expert advice on how to apply their tactics to your own portfolio, as well as guidelines on starting your own business, saving for retirement, assessing your own risk level, investing in real estate, and much, much more.
