Industry recognition[edit]

  • Updating and adding to text from lead:
Edelman was ranked the #1 Independent Financial Advisor in the United States by Barron’s in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2018.[11][12] For 2018, Edelman was ranked #1.[12]
to
In July 2001, Edelman's book Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth appeared at #1 in the paperback "Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous" category of the New York Times Best Seller list.[20] Edelman was ranked the #1 Independent Financial Advisor in the United States by Barron’s in 2009, 2010, and 2012.[11] In 2016, Forbes ranked Edelman among the top 10 wealth advisors in America.[21][22] In 2019, Barron's added Edelman to its Financial Advisors Hall of Fame.[23] Also in 2019, InvestmentNews named Edelman to its list of "20 people who helped shape the financial planning industry"[24] and Investopedia named Edelman one of its top 100 financial advisors.[25] The editors of Talkers Magazine ranked Edelman #69 in its 2020 "Heavy Hundred" list of the most important radio talk show hosts in America.[26][27]
The 2018 ref – archived here – is a ranking for Edelman Financial Services, not Edelman personally. I added the 2016 Forbes ranking along with a ref on the methodology of how that ranking worked, the 2019 InvestmentNews and Investopedia rankings, and the Talkers Magazine acknowledgment.
