Do you believe a little more money would solve most of your problems?

Imagine private jets ready for an afternoon flight to New York City for a transcontinental shopping trip… luxury yachts circling the globe awaiting their owner’s arrival…. fully staffed but rarely visited vacation homes throughout the world. The rich live trouble-free lives of graceful ease. Or do they?

Fables of Fortune pulls back the brocade curtain to reveal the precarious path of wanting more. As the advisor to the super rich, author Richard Watts reflects on the reality of wealth and a difficult and heartbreaking lesson: “The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.”

Through vignettes based on true stories, Fables of Fortune reveals the challenges the super-wealthy face, including marriages based on net worth, interfamily inheritance battles, faux friends, entitled children, alienation, and spiritual depletion. It also challenges readers to reconsider key life questions of personal value – and discover surprising new answers.

Fables of Fortune is an honest, comparative, eye-opening analysis for any reader who believes wealth is a rose without thorns. Read on and gain perspective and appreciation for your own real fortune in life.
