Gill Fielding

Gill Fielding is an international public speaker, a writer and a presenter. Gill was born into a poor family in the East end of London but despite humble beginnings, Gil is now a self made multi millionaire.

Gills wealth has been accumulated by investing in three areas: land and property, stocks and business. Gill owns or co-owns a variety of businesses including The Wealth Company, Wealth Coaching Support, Cardextras, Giftextras and Riches.

Gill realised that she was ‘financially free’ in 1997 and since then has worked to share her knowledge with others by facilitating wealth creation through her writings and public speaking.

Gill’s media CV is extensive and she has been ‘Secret Millionaire’ on Channel 4, a business expert on The Apprentice – You’re Fired show, and a financial commentator for the BBC, ITV and CNBC as well as appearing in a variety of other TV shows around the world. Gill is currently a financial expert for the BBC and hosts a monthly phone in for BBC radio.

As well as the TV, radio and public media, Gill is a prolific public speaker and has spoken on all 5 continents on macro economic affairs, wealth creation, financial education, investing skills as well as on more personal motivational and inspirational topics.

Gills book, CD, and DVD, ‘Riches, the Seven Secrets of Wealth You Were Never Told’,  has just been published (Jan 2010) and is available on Amazon.

The personal stuff Gill was born in West Ham, London in 1957, the youngest child of three and only daughter to Kate and Reg Hopper. Gill is now married to Martin, they have three wonderful children and they live in Sussex with several rescued cats and a few rescued greyhounds, a couple of gerbils and some fish!

Naturally Gill is an ardent West Ham United fan and she enjoys most sports, film and the theatre.

Business stuff After a slow start Gill eventually got educated, with a degree from Sussex University, a teaching qualification and Gill also qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse in London. It was there that Gill gained much experience with large corporations, particularly in financial services, and also started her presenting career there in 1983.

Many high profile positions followed including working with Citicorp, being the Chief Executive of a financial services group specialising in tax free savings vehicles, the Chair of a Unit Trust Trade association, director on the board of an ethical Unit Trust (with the likes of Lord Brian Rix) and an adviser to the Inland Revenue on tax free savings.

Wealth Creation and The Wealth Company

After making herself financially free through her own investments, Gill started teaching wealth creation and facilitating wealth for others in 1999 and the Wealth Company was formed in 2001.

The rest

Gill is an active supporter of many worthwhile causes and she does still support all the families she met as part of the secret Millionaire process. Gill also supports three national charities: Shelter, Mencap and Make a Wish as well as being a patron of Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce, and a variety of other causes.

Gills life mission is ‘to light the spark of financial possibility for as many people as she can’ and Gill considers herself to be incredibly fortunate firstly to know what her life mission is, but secondly to be able to live a life on mission every single day

Gill is absolutely certain that wealth can be achieved by anybody – because she has done it!
