Dr. Zitelmann, Author of The Wealth Elite: In London For A Series Of Top Level Media Interview & Roundtable
18th & 19th April 2018
The Wealth Elite
What makes the ultra-rich tick? Is there a specific mind set? Are they meticulous planners? Or is their wealth just simply a by-product of their entrepreneurial ventures?
LID Radio Episode 82: The Wealth Elite
Author of The Wealth Elite Rainer Zitelmann joins us to talk about his new book and groundbreaking study into the mindset of the super rich.
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A SUCCESSFUL
ENTREPRENEUR
"In his new book, The Wealth Elite: A Groundbreaking Study of the Psychology of the Super Rich, the historian Rainer Zitelmann attempts an empirical investigation into the link between personality traits and the creation of enormous wealth. He suggests there are five overriding characteristics of self-made multimillionaires: they are optimistic; they are nonconformists; they are driven by gut instinct, not business analysis; they are likely to have been athletic in their youth; and they are good at selling and did sales work of one sort or another when they were growing up. Having been partners with dozens of highly successful entrepreneurs, I thin these highlights are well observed."

Book Review: The Wealth Elite
"Rainer Zitelmann’s study of the psychology of the super rich is an ambitious project. Few could be better qualified for it than Dr Zitelmann – an historian, sociologist, journalist, businessman and investor. There has been no comparable study and it is a compelling read for all who need to understand the characteristics and motivations of rich entrepreneurs. These people drive economic growth, back innovation, create jobs and finance philanthropic projects. So why has such a study never been attempted before? It is hard to access these people and design questionnaires that generate a meaningful response."

The case for freer markets
"German academic Rainer Zitelmann thinks critics of capitalism overlook the extent to which free markets have generated prosperity. His book looks at multiple case studies to make his point about the superiority of markets ... The book is well written and gives a good, concise summary of the case for freer markets."
Money Week. The UK's best-selling financial magazine, 18.Jan. 2019
New Study Finds What Makes The Super Rich Tick
"The self-help genre is littered with books telling you how to get rich or become successful in easy, manageable steps. But this vast publishing industry, now worth $800 million and growing six percent per year according to Marketdata, has a major flaw. It rarely studies those that have actually become rich and successful.... This (Zitelmanns) research should, therefore, be seen as an antithesis to any self-help guide to becoming wealthy."
