The Expert Edit features interviews with specialists about the products they swear by in their chosen field. For the latest installment, we spoke to former Wall Street trader turned personal finance expert, Vivian Tu, about her Amazon Prime Day product recommendations, including her personal product picks.
If you’ve ever wondered who to turn to for financial advice, look no further than Vivian Tu. She’s a former Wall Street trader turned personal finance expert (known as Your Rich BFF), who got her start at BuzzFeed, of all places. “My coworkers started coming up to me and asking for personal finance advice,” says Tu. “Eventually, I was convinced to start putting those pieces of advice into videos on the internet. The first video went viral, got three million views, and I never looked back.”
Tu, 30, now spends her days creating digestible financial content across social media and sharing insights on her podcast “Networth and Chill.” “Most financial advice is literally designed to make other people money — not you,” says Tu.
“I started my career on Wall Street helping make rich people even richer, but with Your Rich BFF, I get to help make regular, everyday people richer.”
“I started my career on Wall Street helping make rich people even richer, but with Your Rich BFF, I get to help make regular, everyday people richer.”
Her biggest achievement to date? Her bestselling book “Rich AF,” which debuted in 2023 and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. “It’s one of the things I’m most proud of,” says Tu. “More people are now able to completely change their financial futures for the better.”
Knowing Tu to be the financial powerhouse that she is, we had to get her take on Amazon Prime Day — not just for the sake of our wallets, but also to see what she’s personally buying and what deals she thinks are worth it. Spoiler alert: a lot of her picks are already editor favorites, so we can confidently say Tu has great taste. Keep scrolling to shop her favorites.
