    All of these books do nothing but talk about the speculative stock market. The key to long lasting wealth is buying assets that pay you cash monthly or quarterly, be that a creating a business (not being self employed, a business runs and makes money whether you are there or not) or owning rental real estate. Because Forbes gets lots of advertising dollars from mutual fund companies and the like the push products that make these fund companies rich, but often leave the "investors" poorer. For a better book on the subject try Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "The Cash Flow Quadrant".
