William Green

William Green is the author of RICHER, WISER, HAPPIER: How the World’s Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life (Scribner/Simon & Schuster, April 2021).

Green has interviewed many of the world’s most successful investors, exploring in depth the question of what principles, processes, insights, habits, and traits enable them to achieve spectacular success—and how we can profit by reverse engineering and replicating their winning ways.

Green has written for many publications, including The New Yorker, Time, Fortune, Forbes, Barron’s, Fast Company, Bloomberg Markets, and The Economist. He also edited the European, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian editions of Time.

Green has collaborated on several books as a ghostwriter, co-author, or editor. He worked closely with renowned hedge fund manager Guy Spier on his much-praised memoir, The Education of a Value Investor. Green also wrote and edited The Great Minds of Investing, which features short profiles of 33 renowned investors.

Born and raised in London, Green studied English literature at Oxford University, and received a Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. He lives in New York with his wife and children.
