Norb Vonnegut

My name is Norb Vonnegut. I blog about money and write financial thrillers. But think of me as a Wall Street color commentator. I like to break down what's happening in finance.

Acrimoney is my blog about the wild, wild world of wealth. Posts describe the culture of finance, with original and sometimes irreverent commentary about people who manage money or affect it through their political power. As an ex-Wall Street stockbroker, I bring an insider's insight into the way financial advisers behave.

My first novel, Top Producer, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. It was a Fall 2009 pick of both SmartMoney magazine and the Today show. And it has been published in eight languages, nine if you include Australian. :)

The Gods of Greenwich falls into the thriller category, but it's really a story about keeping up with the Joneses. Something we all understand, right? My characters just happen to own hedge funds and are dying to join the Greenwich glitterati.

Before becoming a writer, I built a career in private wealth management at Morgan Stanley, Paine Webber, and other iconic Wall Street institutions. I graduated from Harvard College in 1980 and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1986. I am active with the American Foundation for the Blind as a member of the Board of Trustees.
