For fourteen years, every week, Suze Orman reached three million people with The Suze Orman Show, an Emmy Award-winning program about money and personal financial independence. She became America’s go-to person for financial advice and, in addition to hosting her own show, made regular appearances on various others including The View, Anderson Cooper 360, Good Morning America, and Larry King Live. As the host of one of CNBC’s most successful television shows, Orman would take calls from viewers and give them advice on how to fix their financial problems, discussing everything from paying off student loan debt to saving for a mortgage. She educated millions of people on stocks and bonds, and explained how long it would take to pay off their credit cards if they only made the minimum payment. Orman is known for tough love, telling it like it is, and never sugarcoating her message to viewers.

In addition to her television show, Orman is the author of nine consecutive New York Times bestsellers. Her books educate readers on how to be smart with money in any situation. She was a longtime contributing editor to O, The Oprah Magazine and a regular columnist for AARP magazine. She was included in Forbe’s list of the World’s 100 Most Power Women and was twice named to Time magazine’s list of the World’s 100 Most Influential People. While on top of the world, Orman came out in a 2007 interview with the New York Times. She said she was in a seven-year relationship with her life partner, K.T. The two were married in 2010 and have since retired to a mansion in the Bahamas. Her advice to you, no matter what your background or challenges are, is: “If you hold on to your goals and dreams, you will get there.”
