Author biography
George Samuel Clason (1874-1957) was an American author and businessman best known for his financial advice book “The Richest Man in Babylon,” first published in 1926. Born in Louisiana, Missouri, Clason attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. After his military service, he moved to Denver, Colorado, where he founded two companies: the Clason Map Company and the Clason Publishing Company.
Clason’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to publish the first road atlas of the United States and Canada. However, his most enduring legacy comes from a series of informational pamphlets he began writing in 1926. These pamphlets, which used parables set in ancient Babylon to teach financial wisdom, were widely distributed by banks and insurance companies.
The most famous of these parables were later compiled into “The Richest Man in Babylon,” a book that has become a modern inspirational classic. Clason is credited with coining the phrase “Pay yourself first,” a fundamental principle of personal finance.
In his personal life, Clason was married twice and had two children who also became authors. He spent his later years in Napa, California, where he passed away in 1957.

โWhat can a book written in the 1920s tell modern investors about their finances? A whole lot if it’s George Clason’s delightful set of parables that explain the basics of money. This is a great gift for a graduate or anyone who seems baffled by the world of finance and a wonderful, refreshing read for even the most experienced investor.โ
