Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV (aka “Dr. Finance®”) is the world’s leading financial scientist—he has revolutionized the academic foundation of the science of finance. Dr. Criniti considers himself a “financialist,” which is a term he coined in his 2013 book to distinguish the financial scientist from the “economist,” the economic scientist.
A fifth generation native of Philadelphia, Dr. Criniti is a former finance professor at several universities, a former financial planner, an active investor in diverse marketplaces, an explorer, a financialist, an international keynote speaker, a survivalist, and has traveled around the world studying various aspects of finance.

He is also a contributing author to the upcoming 13 book series called The 13 Steps to Riches, which is a modern day interpretation of Napoleon Hill’s 13 steps to riches outlined in the classic book Think and Grow Rich (1937). Some of the authors that he will be co-writing with include Sharon Lechter (co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad), Kevin Harrington (original shark from Shark Tank), and John Assaraf. As a prolific writer, Dr. Criniti also frequently contributes articles to Entrepreneur, Medium, and Thrive Global.
