How to Get Rich if You're a Baby!

By: John A. Russo

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if the smartest way to build wealth isn’t about earning more but starting earlier?

In How to Get Rich If You’re a Baby!, legendary filmmaker and author John A. Russo, co-creator of Night of the Living Dead, shares the hard financial lessons he learned over a lifetime in the arts, where success, exploitation, windfalls, and ruin often arrive side by side.

Through candid stories of Hollywood deals gone wrong, trusted advisors who betrayed him, and fortunes that slipped away just when security seemed assured, Russo confronts a truth many discover too late: talent and success do not guarantee financial freedom. Knowledge does.

At the heart of this book is a deceptively simple idea, one that could change everything for future generations. By understanding compound interest, the Rule of 72, and the power of starting as early as possible, parents and grandparents can give children a gift far more valuable than inheritance: financial independence.

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a wake-up call.

Written with warmth, humor, and unflinching honesty, How to Get Rich If You’re a Baby! is part memoir, part financial philosophy, and part parental challenge, urging readers to learn from one man’s hard-won experience and use it to build a more secure future for themselves and those they love.

Because the best time to start building wealth was decades ago.
The second-best time is now.
