Author
Tim Boyle
Tim is a former financial advisor, and has had interest in personal finance, investing, and economics since a young age, having been heavily influenced by his father and grandfather.
His series, ‘The Richest Boy’, was an idea, decades in the making, and was finally brought to life in Fall 2021. The series is intended to help children learn basic financial principles, in a fun and engaging way, that they can take with them throughout their lives.
Given Tim’s love of history, his hope is that placing the story in ancient Athens will also help generate an interest in history, particularly a history as important as the ancient Greeks, that will also forever remain with the book’s readers.
