Bill Walton

Bill Walton is an American author, businessman, investor, and philanthropist. He has published more than 50 works spanning hundreds of topics in the world of finance, technology, and business, as well as his personal story of finding and sustaining abundance in life.

Walton was born in 1912 in Alaska, to a family of entrepreneurs, who built ore-buying stations all along the Alaskan shore, and he grew up in the same entrepreneurial spirit. By the time he was 12 years old, Walton was already working in the family business. While managing the family's business interests in Alaska, Walton wrote his first book, Financial Management for Everyone. While the book didn’t become a best seller, the process of writing taught Walton the value of self-discipline and perseverance, skills that would become invaluable to him later on in life.

After a few setbacks, Walton moved to California and enrolled in Stanford University, where he studied economics, foreign language, and political science. After graduating from Stanford, Walton landed a job in finance. Working for high-end financial groups, Walton quickly developed a flair for making bold investments. His success using his own financial acumen landed him positions with large investment banks, including Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs.

Walton found success in the stock market, eventually becoming a partner in Goldman Sachs. He used his position to forge further connections with some of the most successful businessmen and investors in the country, mentoring many of them. He also began writing more books, which earned him even more recognition and respect. His latest book, The Bill Walton Series, extols the importance of capitalism, entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency, and he continues to actively promote these values.

In addition to his business success, Walton has made considerable investments in his own life. Walton became a philanthropist and promoter of causes, both local and global. Through his philanthropic efforts, he has founded and invested in several organizations, including the Walton Family Foundation, the Walton Education Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Walton's legacy continues today. He is an inspiration to many aspiring business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors, as well as to those who are looking to create abundance in their lives. His books have touched the hearts and minds of millions of people, offering motivation, guidance, and hope. He stands as an example of the extraordinary things that can be achieved through hard work, perseverance, and a passion for what we do.
