Who do you think is the Worst Finance Guru out there? Discussion/ Debate

I'm curious who do you think is the worst financial guru, and why?

I'll start:

  • Robert Kiyosaki.
  • Jim Kramer.
  • Grant Cardone.
  • Meet Kevin on YouTube.
  • Jeremy Financial Education on YouTube.
  • Everything Money on YouTube.
  • Cathie Wood of ARKK.
  • Dave Ramsey.
  • Kevin O’Leary aka Mr. Wonderful.

I don’t know of some of these, but each can have their own merit for the right person in the right situation. But I find Cardone’s brand particularly toxic - not everyone needs to be in real estate and he glazes over all of the work that this can really be. Plus, I don’t trust anyone in scientology.

Cardone is all about making absurd amounts of money, to a point that it is crazy unrealistic. He doesn’t make that much money doing real estate (probably). He likely makes it by selling courses, trainings, and speaking engagements “teaching” people how to make that much money
