Randall Jones, the founder of Worth magazine, traveled to one hundred different towns an cities across the U.S. and interviewed the wealthiest person in each. He discovered that they had a lot in common—principles that he calls "The Twelve Commandments of Wealth."

? Be your own boss—the sooner, the better
? Embrace your failures
? Understand the primal importance of sales
? Stay hungry—even when you've made it
? Live where you want—your office location doesn't matter
? Never retire
...and much, much more.
媒体推荐 "This book will help us all become THE RICHEST MAN IN TOWN."
—Jim Roger, bestselling author of Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist
"In these difficult times, when the American Dream seems more like a nightmare, the stories of inspiring success that Randall Jones has written about in THE RICHEST MAN IN TOWN are more timely and relevant than ever. Anyone who aspires to a life of happiness, fulfillment, and wealth should read this book."
—William D. Cohan, bestselling author of House of Cards and The last Tycoons
"This book is not your usual, run-of-the-mill 'get rich' book. It is not one man or one woman's story. It is instead the collective wisdom and proven wealth creation philosophies of one hundred of America's greatest success stories. All of them self-made, o te term I prefer is wat Birmingham, Alabama's richest man in town, Miller Gorrie coined, 'self-sufficient' success. Yes, they have all attained a staggering amount of wealth, but much more significant, most have attained a monumental degree of satisfaction in their lives by contributing real value to the world. They have not led the 'life of quiet desperation' that nineteenth-century philosopher henry David Thoreau so feared. They are hunters and explorers, constantly seeking new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new opportunities. They both love and value the thrill of each quest. Their expeditions excite them, fuel their passions, and not surprisingly, make them truly happy. They are living the American Dream."

"Randy Jones is a fan of great wealth creators the way George Plimpton was a fan of great athletes. He wants to get out there on the field and find out how those guys really do it. Everybody always wonders who is the Richest Man in town, but at the end of the day, it's Jones who gets to write about them: their background, their manners, morals, maxims, and methods—and he does it with winning insight and panache."
—Nelson W. Aldrich Jr., author of Old Money: The Mythology of Wealth in America and editor of George, Being George, an oral biography of George Plimpto
