What is Suze Orman's net worth and salary?

Desperate and dejected, Suze decided to learn everything she could about what had happened and investments in general. Ironically she actually entered the training program at Merrill Lynch. She also sued Merrill which settled with her for roughly her amount lost and interest. Suze returned all the funds she borrowed for the restaurant to her investors.

In 1983 she became the vice president of investments at Prudential Bache Securities. In 1987 she resigned and launched the Suze Orman Financial Group, in Emeryville, California.

In 1982 she borrowed $50,000 from one of the regular customers at the restaurant plus $2,000 from friends and family, to launch her own restaurant. At the advice of the $50,000 patron, Suze put the money in a trading account at Merrill Lynch while she waited to launch the business. A broker at Merrill convinced Suze to invest the money in a high-risk options account. Within three months the money was totally gone.
