Suze Orman is a renowned financial advisor, writer, and television personality. She hosts The Suze Orman Show on CNBC. She has written six consecutive New York Times Best Sellers, has written, co-produced, and hosted six PBS specials based on her books, and is the most successful fundraiser in the history of public television. Similar programs that she hosts on QVC, the leading home shopping network, also place her as the top seller. In 2004 and 2006, Orman won two daytime Emmy Awards in the category of Outstanding Service Show Host for her PBS specials. Over her television career, she has won more Gracie Awards (five) than anyone in the 33-year history of the awards. In 2008, she was selected by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world.

Orman's books include:

• The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom (1997)

• The Courage to Be Rich (1998)

Orman hosts a weekend financial planning show on CNBC called The Suze Orman Show. She hosts another TV program on QVC called Suze Orman's Financial Freedom. Orman recently celebrated her 5th year on The Suze Orman Show and her 11th anniversary on QVC.

She won two Daytime Emmy Awards in 2004 and 2006 for her PBS pledge drive specials, The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life and The Money Show for the Young, Fabulous, & Broke. Her catch phrases are "Self-worth equals net worth", "People first, then money, then things", and "Truth creates money. Lies destroy it." She ends each episode of The Suze Orman Show with "People first, then money, then things".

In early 2007, Orman launched a segment on The Suze Orman Show called "Can I Afford It?" During the segment viewers call in to the show and tell Orman what they want to buy – such as an engagement ring, car, or HDTV – then tell her their amount of income, savings, retirement savings, credit card debt, home loans, and other debt. Orman then determines if the caller can or can't afford the item, and explains why.

In February 2008, Orman appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and announced that her most recent book, Women and Money, would be available for free on Oprah's website for 33 hours. Over 1 million people downloaded the book.

In an April 2008 online interview with the The Young Turks, Orman stated that her net worth is more than $10 million. In an interview discussing her own investment portfolio, Orman shared the details of her personal strategy. It is highly conservative compared with traditional investment theory, which emphasizes asset diversification and a significant allocation to equities for long-term growth. Orman stated: "I have a million dollars in the stock market because if I lose a million dollars, I don't personally care. I buy zero-coupon municipal bonds, and all the bonds I buy are triple-A rated and insured so even if the city goes under, I get my money. I take a little lower interest rate to make sure my bonds are 100 percent safe and sound."
