[edit] Early life
Pilzer completed college in three years and received his MBA from Wharton at age 22 in 1976. At 24, he was appointed adjunct professor at New York University, where he taught for 20 consecutive years. While employed as Citibank’s youngest officer at 22 and its youngest vice president at 25, Pilzer started several entrepreneurial businesses— earning his first $1 million before age 26, and his first $10 million before age 30.
[edit] Political advisor
He was an appointed economic advisor in two presidential administrations and warned of the impending $200-billion savings and loan crisis years before official Washington was willing to listen— a story that he later told in his book 'Other People’s Money', which was critically acclaimed by the New York Times and The Economist magazine in 1989.
[edit] Author
Pilzer’s 'Unlimited Wealth' (Crown, 1990) explained how we live in a world of unlimited physical resources because of rapidly advancing technology. Pilzer coined the term "economic alchemy" in 1990 to describe a new paradigm of economics wherein resources are seen as unlimited, because technology can, in a free market, always come up with either a new supply or an effective alternative, driven proportionately by any shortage in the existing resource supply, and the most powerful means of ecomonic expansion and human advancement are seen as a function of the development, implementation and distribution of new technologies. After reading Unlimited Wealth, Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, said that he was "amazed at Pilzer's business capacity" and his "ability to put it into layman's terms."

Pilzer's 'God Wants You to Be Rich' (Simon & Schuster, 1995) explains that the foundation of the United States' economic system is based on its Judeo-Christian heritage. This bestseller was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, and on television shows ranging from 60 Minutes to First Person with Maria Shriver. It has been published in 18 languages.
Pilzer's 'The Wellness Revolution' (Wiley, 2002) identified the newly emerging wellness business—-for this book he received an Honorary Doctorate in Public Service and was called a “wellness guru” by The New York Times. This book was rewritten with 50% new material as The New Wellness Revolution in 2007.
Pilzer's 'The Next Millionaires' (Momentum Media, 2005) explains why the number of U.S. millionaires doubled in the 1990s, how the economy is now creating one million millionaires a year from 2006-2016, and how ordinary people can become one of them.
Pilzer's 'The New Health Insurance Solution' (Wiley, 2006/2007) sets forth a bold new direction for U.S. health insurance and explains how individuals can now get affordable health insurance independent of their employer. This book also explains how employers can end their health insurance nightmare while still being able to hire great employees by providing the same health benefits for less than half the cost they are paying today.
A former commentator on National Public Radio and CNN, Pilzer has appeared three times on the Larry King Live! television program. He speaks live each year to approximately 200,000 people, and more than 10 million audiotapes of his speeches have been sold. He lives in Utah with his wife and four children where they are all avid snowboarders, mountain bikers, and chess players
