George S. Clason (1874–1957) was an American author, businessman, and visionary best known for his classic work The Richest Man in Babylon. A former soldier and entrepreneur, Clason revolutionized financial education by creating parables based on ancient Babylonian principles. In the 1920s, he began distributing these stories as pamphlets through banks and insurance companies, making timeless financial wisdom accessible to the masses. His most famous mantra, “A part of all you earn is yours to keep,” has helped millions build better financial habits. Clason’s legacy lives on as a pioneer of personal finance through storytelling and simplicity.
