This book is a compilation of cartoons serialized in newspapers in 2004 based on the book “The Rich in Korea,” and through this book, the rich, who had been distant and abstract to ordinary people, finally have human faces.
『Dictionary of the Rich』 features a number and variety of rich Koreans, just like 『The Rich of Korea』, which was written based on direct interviews with over 100 rich people.
In particular, this book is so creative that it can be considered an independent work that surpasses "The Rich in Korea." With numerous anecdotes drawn from sources like newspapers and magazines and episodes centered around people around the author, it is not an adaptation of "The Rich in Korea," but rather a new creation.
'The Rich of Korea' was reborn as a cartoon by artist Heo Young-man.

If 『The Rich in Korea』 objectively portrayed the rich and expressed their inner thoughts without any exaggeration, artist Heo Young-man's 『Dictionary of the Rich』 finally gives a 'human face' to the rich, who had long felt abstract and distant.
Regarding this, Sangbok Han, author of “The Rich in Korea,” said, “The rich people in this book have a human touch.
He did not spare his praise, saying, “The sweat and tears of each character are mixed with artist Heo Yeong-man’s unique humor, making it feel as if you are meeting them in person.”
Through "The Dictionary of the Rich," readers can vividly encounter the self-made rich of our time and learn from their know-how. Furthermore, it realistically shows the general public's perception and inclinations toward money, raising awareness of the issues at hand.

The book divides the entire topic into 49 categories and conveys each topic with characters and stories that fit the topic.
This book not only clearly conveys the theme through friendly yet unique cartoon characters, but also allows you to enjoy reading cartoons and gain information about financial management at the same time.
Through this book, artist Heo Young-man shows that the path to wealth is never far away.
