Review
"This is by far the best book ever written on the subject, better than Rich Dad Poor Dad, better than Think and Grow Rich, better than any book by Donald Trump..."
~ Amazon reader review
"You'll learn more in 2 days from this book than you will in 2 years of business college courses..."
~ Amazon reader review
"There are moments in your life where a light bulb just seems to turn on, a switch just seems to flip. If you're looking to induce one of these, look no further than this book."
~ Amazon reader review
"I can promise you that there is a clarity that comes with reading this book that no other book on the market will ever give you."
~ Amazon reader review
"The best book on acquiring wealth ever written..."
~ Amazon reader review
"I loved this book. It is dripping in authenticity and real-world experience. From the first, authentic page I was hooked. MJ DeMarco not only has created a book that motivates like nothing else I have read, he also provides the most important thing: a true framework for evaluating business decisions. It's safe to say that had I absorbed this book 10 years ago, I would be at least $100k-$200k richer today."
~ Amazon reader review
"...this book delivers much wisdom about business, money, and the creation of wealth. I have already had my first "liquidation event" and what this author says about how to get there is rock-solid truth."
~ Amazon reader review
"Not since Think and Grow Rich have I been as impressed with a book on the subject of wealth and success. Mr. DeMarco writes from a common, no-nonsense approach on how to become wealthy."
~ Amazon reader review
"Although the title and cover of the book make you think "infomercial for suckers", it's actually THE single best book I have read on this subject so far (and I've read plenty). I don't typically write reviews on books I purchase here on Amazon, but this one was so good that it compelled me to actually get off my lazy butt and post up a review. "
~ Amazon reader review
"If you want to get "rich" while you're young enough to enjoy it, read this book ...it short-circuits you though a lot of the BS."
~ Amazon reader review
"This is an honest to goodness "Get Rich Quick" book. Most "Get Rich Quick" books or programs scam people into believing there is a method to "Get Rich Easy". MJ DeMarco does an extremely good job of telling the truth about what it takes to really achieve wealth. "
~ Amazon reader review
"I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I have read many finance books (Rich Dad, Cramer, Dave Ramsey, etc) and after reading The Millionaire Fastlane, I kept saying to myself "finally, someone who tells it like it is and isn't feeding me BS!"
~ Amazon reader review
"In life, there are people who get it, and people who don't get it. When it comes to building wealth, MJ DeMarco gets it. What really made my jaw drop about this book, however, was his brutal honesty. He exposes many of the misconceptions of the common wealth building 'gurus'..."

From the Author
THE "LAMBORGHINI PROPHECY" COMPLETESThe Millionaire Fastlane is the echo of a chance encounter I had long ago when I was a pudgy teenager. It was a Fastlane ignition of consciousness, a resurrection triggered by a stranger driving a mythic car--a Lamborghini Countach. The Fastlane was born, and with it the resolution and belief that creating wealth need not take 50 years of financial mediocrity devoured by decades of work, decades of saving, decades of mindless frugality, and decades of 8% stock market returns.
Often, this book references the Lamborghini brand, and it isn't to brag when I say I've owned a few. The Lamborghini icon represents the fulfillment of a prophecy in my life. It innocently
started when I saw my first Lamborghini and it kicked my ass out of my comfort zone. I
confronted its young owner and asked a simple question: "
How can you afford such an awesome car?"
The answer I received, unveiled in chapter 2, was short and powerful, but I wish I had more. I
wish that man had taken a minute, an hour, a day, or a week to talk to me. I wish that young
stranger would have mentored me on how to get what I thought the Lamborghini represented:
wealth. I wish that man had reached into his car and given me a book.
Fast-forward to today.
As I endanger the streets in my Lamborghini, I relive that same moment except in role reversal. To celebrate my Fastlane success, I bought one of these legendary beasts, a Lamborghini Diablo. If you've never had the opportunity to drive a car that costs more than most people's homes, let me tell you how it works...
You can't be shy.
People chase you in traffic. They tailgate you, rubberneck, and cause accidents. Getting gas is an event: people snap photos, enraged environmentalists give you the evil eye, and haters insinuate about the length of your penis--as if owning a Hyundai implies being well endowed.
Mostly, people ask questions.
The most frequent questions come from leering and inquisitive teenagers, as I was many years
ago: "
Wow, how can you afford one of these?" or "
What do you do?" People associate a
Lamborghini with wealth, and while I soon learned that that's more an illusion than anything
(any dimwit can finance a Lamborghini), it's indicative of a dream lifestyle that most people
conceive as incomprehensible.
Now when I hear the same question I asked decades ago, I have the power to gift a book and
perhaps, to gift a dream.
This book is my official answer. See all Editorial Reviews
