David Bach

David Bach commenced his distinguished career in finance at Morgan Stanley, where he served as Senior Vice President and was a partner of The Bach Group, managing a portfolio exceeding half a billion dollars. This significant experience in wealth management propelled him to transition from a practicing financial advisor in 2001 to dedicate himself fully to financial education. That same year, Bach founded FinishRich.com and FinishRich Media to create and disseminate his financial content, launching his career as a leading voice in personal finance. His debut book, ‘Smart Women Finish Rich’, was published in 1998, laying the groundwork for his prolific literary career.

Bach quickly established himself as a prominent author, ultimately publishing 13 books with over seven million copies in print. Twelve of his titles achieved national bestseller status, including an impressive ten consecutive New York Times bestsellers. Among these, ‘The Automatic Millionaire’ (2005) and ‘Start Late, Finish Rich’ (2006) both reached the coveted #1 spot on the New York Times list. His influence extended beyond the literary world, and in 2010, he was honored as a distinguished alumnus by the University of Southern California, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences and Communication in 1990.

Beyond his entrepreneurial and literary achievements, Bach is a recognized television personality and motivational speaker. He has made numerous appearances on nationally syndicated programs, including Weekend Today, CNN’s Larry King Live, Live with Regis and Kelly, The View, CBS’s Early Show, ABC News, Good Money, Fox News, and CNBC, reaching millions with his actionable financial advice. David Bach continues to be a leading expert in personal finance and wealth building, empowering individuals to achieve financial independence.
