Suze Orman

Was there any specific event, in your life or in the world, that helped define you?
Yes. Seeing my father run into a burning building that housed his little takeout restaurant to retrieve the cash register that held every penny he had to his name. When he emerged, he had saved the money but had third-degree burns all over his body. That's when I learned that for some people money is more important than life itself.

As you look ahead, what would you like to achieve?
To have changed how the world thinks, feels and acts about money...one wallet at a time.
