He Started Building Wealth at 82

Published on: 23rd August, 2026

At 93 years old, R.L. Borom can look back on a remarkable financial journey—but his serious investing and wealth-building education didn’t begin until he was 82. After decades of trusting others with his money, he decided to educate himself and take control of his financial future.

Joined by his son, R.T. “Todd” Borom, R.L. shares lessons about investing, ownership, financial education, and creating a legacy for the next generation.

Together, they are the authors of How to Die Broke: You’re Not Bad with Money. You’re Being Played., a book that challenges the way we think about money, ownership, and building wealth.
