Sahil Reddy Bloom (born January 5, 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 Telugu Indian mother and a European-American father.[5] He attended Stanford University, located in Stanford, California, 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 college, Bloom worked at Altamont Capital Partners,[8] a private-equity firm based in Palo Alto, 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]
