The 5 Types of Wealth
Bloom's first book, The 5 Types of Wealth, was released in February 2025 by Ballantine Books of the Random House family of publishers.[13][14] The book outlines a model in which wealth is categorized into five types: financial, physical, mental, time, and social.[15] The book describes strategies for evaluating each, and discusses how individuals can assess and improve over time.[16]
Criticism
In 2022, Bloom faced criticism[17] after suggesting on social media that teenagers should seek jobs by knocking on doors and offering to buy coffee for potential employers. Critics called the advice unrealistic and potentially unsafe,[18] particularly for minors. Others defended it as proactive job-seeking.[19]
