How to Meet the Rich: For Business, Friendship, or Romance

Summary: REQUIRED READING IN COLLEGE BUSINESS CLASSES
Review: HOW TO MEET THE RICH for Business, Friendship, or Romance is REQUIRED READING by professors in some University and College business courses.

No wonder! This valuable book teaches you how to identify the 6 different types of wealthy people and what motivates each type to buy your product or service - no other book I have read has that type of specific, useful information - but then again, Ginie Sayles was a stockbroker and a business woman in her own right.

Some of the people who have rated this book, obviously have not even read it - they just guessed at the contents by the title. It is truly a great, great, great book!!!

Summary: Packed with GREAT USEFUL information
Review: I have many of the "marry rich" books and this is the best one on the market! I also have her "how to marry the rich" which is awesome. This book is thick and has MUCH more info.I have used it and it WORKS. The 14 layers of class are great! The best part is how to get into society (i.e. all those exclusive clubs such as the supporting arts and culture, etc.- I tried this and it worked- I am now in!) I have met many wealthy people this way, following the principles in this book.I get invited to great parties and have great female friends who are invaluable to meeting more wealthy men and women! The clothes ideas are ok, but a bit dated and that is the only thing wrong with this book- (it is the year it was written)As far as clothes - the rules are pretty easy use natural materials and quality items- wear what they wear.It is not that hard to figure out, that class is timeless elegance, i.e. sweater sets, silks in bright colors, etc. But this book is worth the price it will change your life if you put it into practice!!

Summary: Great read for the young adult
Review: This is a great book for the young adult (16-25), since most of the strategies would probably be the most successful if applied at this age; however, anyone with an interest in the wealthy can enjoy and benefit from this book.
Attaining Ginie's "14 layers of class" (Chapter 2) would be beneficial to anyone, regardless of their social aspirations. The checklist makes it easy to see where you might want to fill in a few blanks in your life. The "20 Ways to Lose Class-Fast!" is a helpful, if rather amusing addition to this chapter; most of these should be obvious.
Chapter 22, "Your Social Personality" is a good guide for anyone wanting to win friends and influence people, whether or not they are wealthy.
I enjoyed reading about the different types of rich: Old money pedigrees, flamboyant old money, status new rich, practical new rich, celebrity rich, and roller-coaster rich.
There are a few incidences where Ms. Sayles' suggestions seem a bit contrived, but overall her strategy appears quite effective and has apparently worked for her.
I read the book in one stretch - a fun and interesting read.

Summary: Valuable information
Review: Within a week of reading "How to Meet the Rich : For Business, Friendship, or Romance" I hooked up with a foxy embasatrix of a major British cheese empire and heir to millions. We sit high atop our mounds of cash and play with the poor like so many pawns on a chess board. We own several houses, tax free through phony offshore corporations, operate a variety of third world sweat shops and sue anyone that looks at us cross eyed. All thanks to this great book! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Life is sacharine sweet.
