Last night, we celebrated the release of our second annual Worthy 100 issue, which features the Worthy 100 list. By recognizing the achievements of people like Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Maria Ressa, Larry Brilliant, Yvon Chouinard, and 96 other inspiring individuals, Worth is continuing its mission to celebrate not only hard-won affluence but also the positive influence people of this caliber can have on the world. The editorial team received over 1,000 submissions for this list and selected the worthy few who are making a genuine impact across industries. It was a pleasure to host a number of our honorees and other valued Worth community members at our New York City offices last night, and I am pleased to share this year’s complete list with you below.
The Worthy 100
This list highlights the accomplishments of individuals using their time, talent, and financial resources to make the world a better place.
As we head toward the new year, Worth is planning some exciting new things—particularly in regard to our Women and Worth membership program. We recently welcomed Laura Gerson to the team, who is heading up the program that supports women along the road to wealth. See a recent Women and Worth article below, written by investor advocate, personal finance journalist, and author, Pam Kreuger.
A 2023 Financial Toolkit for Women
Women face some unique challenges in this environment, but also have some unique opportunities.
In a recent article by Bob Diamond and Larry Kantor, quarterly economic journalists for Worth, they delve into the issue that has been on all of our minds for the better part of the last year—inflation. Not only do they break down exactly how we got here, but they also break down the long slog ahead, the reasons for it, and what to watch for.
The Good News: Inflation has Peaked
The Bad News: Getting it down sufficiently will be a long slog
