Meet Nicole Lapin

Nicole grew up in a family that never talked about money. So when she moved to New York City at 21 to break into broadcast journalism, she was completely unprepared. She was living paycheck to paycheck, drowning in credit card debt, and too embarrassed to ask for help.

So she taught herself. She devoured every financial book, article, and resource she could find. And as she built her career at CNN, CNBC, and Bloomberg — covering the biggest financial stories in the world — she realized something: the financial industry was built to confuse people, not empower them. Complex jargon, hidden fees, and intimidating advisors were all designed to make everyday people feel like they needed someone else to handle their money.

Nicole knew there was a better way. She wrote her first book, Rich Bitch, to be the guide she wished she'd had at 21. It became a New York Times bestseller. Then came Boss Bitch, Becoming Super Woman, and Miss Independent — each one a bestseller, each one written in the same plain-English voice that made complicated money topics finally click for millions of readers.

The Money School is the next chapter: a single destination where anyone — regardless of where they're starting from — can get a real financial education. No jargon. No judgment. Just the knowledge you need to take control of your money and start building real wealth.
