Publisher's summary

George S. Clason takes financial understanding back to its roots, where property and prosperity were first explored by the Babylonians. Utilizing parables and metaphors set in ancient Babylon, Clason expounds on how to get out of debt, increase savings, build passive income, and more. While the parables in this work take place centuries in the past, they follow the stories of people struggling with and overcoming very similar issues to those that plague today's population. This classic work has influenced many of the most famous financial experts of this generation and it has been credited for the personal successes of some of the most wealthy people alive.

This series, published by ONE audiobooks, seeks to produce Classic titles read by well known and loved audiobook narrators. ONE takes great care to cast these titles with readers who will provide an unmatched listening experience for these important works.

Paul Michael brings his passion to every performance and is considered to be one of the top audiobook narrators in the industry.

Amazingly Told

The Richest Man in Babylon is a storybook come to life. It goes beyond folklore, beyond historical tales and lends itself to your present day. If your mental landscape is not impacted by this book, then I suggest you start again from Chapter 1.

All-Rounder!

From the story based way of teaching about savings, investment, and debts, to the multiple voices used by narrator Paul Michael, this audiobook was a joy to listen to. Truly a wonderful molding of craft and performance. I finished this in one “sitting.”

Lessons to live by

This is a book everyone should read, the sooner in life the better. Much like some of the characters in the stories, I've learned much of these lessons the hard way. Heed the advice in this book and your purse will jingle with much gold.

Officially the greatest financial book of all time!

Credit to Paul Micheal for his exquisite narration bringing so much life & characteristics to the story! I haven’t been that immersed in an audiobook for a long time. Thank you Paul!

Also, a new level of inspiration has been stirred up within me that I’m confident to say something unusually favorable & sublime is in motion to fill my “purse” 10-fold! 💰🤑

“The truth is always simple”
“Pay yourself first”

- Thank you!
