Description
Manners for Millionaires answers the cry for instruction and guidance from the aspiring rich: "our readers as still belong to the Pauper, Practically Pauper, and Comparatively Pauper strata of society—those, we mean, with less than GBP5000 a year and fewer than 17 spare bedrooms—will naturally feel grateful for a few introductory directions towards ameliorating their condition." Following the course from penury to plenty, this book is intended to help readers ascend the staircase of Prosperity. There is also a special chapter devoted specifically to American millionaires. Originally published in 1901, this humorous guide will be equally valuable for the modern millionaire.
