Sahil Reddy Bloom (born 5 January 1991) is an American writer, investor, and former collegiate athlete. He is the author of The 5 Types of Wealth, published in 2025, [1] [2] and frequently publishes content online related to finance, personal development, wealth creation, and intellectual curiosity. [3] [4]
Early Life and Education
[edit]Bloom was born to an Indian mother and an American father. [5] He attended Stanford University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics and sociology in 2013 and a master's degree in public policy in 2014. [6] While at Stanford, he was a pitcher on the university’s baseball team. [7]
Career
[edit]After graduating, Bloom worked at Altamont Capital Partners, [8] a private equity firm based in California. He began as an analyst and later became a vice president. In this role, he worked on investments across various industries. [9]
In 2020, Bloom began sharing content on social media platforms, primarily Twitter. His posts focused on financial literacy, productivity, and career advice. He also created a newsletter called The Curiosity Chronicle. [10] [11]
He later established SRB Ventures, an investment firm, and SRB Holdings, which manages his commercial ventures. [12]
The 5 Types of Wealth
[edit]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
[edit]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]
Personal Life
[edit]In 2007 Bloom met his now wife Elizabeth in a high school computer lab. They were married on December 17, 2016 and gave birth to their son Roman Reddy Bloom on May 16, 2022. He is a recreational distance runner and completed a marathon in under three hours in 2023. [20]
