with quite limited funds and a very limited knowledge of money. Barely finishing her college degree, Orman turned her life around and experiences success now as a highly praised author, television personality, radio show expert guest, and more. The real beauty of her story is the story of the first investment that got her started, and how she turned $2,000 into a net worth of $35 million.

Suze Orman spoke of the American Dream as an old dream that has died and been replaced by family and personal responsibility. (Orman 2012).

about celebrities, it is hit or miss there as well. Sure, many of them learned how to make tons of money, but many of them lost it just as quickly, too. If you ask Amber Rose what qualifies her to drop her name in the hat with financial gurus like Suze Orman or Sheryl Sandberg, she will tell you that it isn't all of the things she's done right, but the life experience she has and the things she has overcome. “I feel like I’m in a position to give advice to women because I’ve made all of these mistakes
