Lol, I knew a somewhat "successful" small business owner that went this route. This 2014 or so. Never reads or anything. He posted one day on fb about being in a book club at work and the book was some self-published rich dad poor dad ripoff without a wikipedia page. Couple years later he's running a vending machine business, posting pro trump propaganda, lecturing people on bASiC EcoNomIcS. Pretty sure he's up to his eyeballs in debt.

Kicker: he briefly got disillusioned by Trump and was tempted to support Andrew Yang in 2020.
