Opis

This text delves into the personal finances of more than 25 celebrities. The spending, saving and investing habits of those in the public eye are almost as intriguing as their sex lives and much less available to the popular press. Read how much these elusive folks earn, how they invest their money, and most importantly the financial lessons they have learned from investing in stocks and mutual funds to real estate and start-up ventures. Through a celebrity interview format, this book shows how you can put the financial strategies of the rich and famous to use in your own life.
