Simply Between Millions: From Wall Street to Hollywood

What does it take to go against conventional wisdom, to gamble your entire life’s savings and turn your back on millions from Wall Street, to pursue a lifelong dream in the “nobody makes it here” world of Hollywood? The answer: balls, courage, and a helluva lotta perseverance!

Upon completion of his heartfelt and witty memoir in 2012, Rich Tola fervently stated, "10 years ago my net worth was $10,000,000; today it’s zero. I’ve spent the past 5 years in Hollywood, to pursue “a calling”. My colorful memoirs are wild and inspiring, from a three year-old Sicilian boy hanging around his father’s barbershop in Trenton, NJ, to the former Wall Street Junk Bond salesman – and boy-toy for married women – turned actor/filmmaker and yoga teacher looking to fulfill his destiny. I’ve traveled the globe and seen it all – and I tell it all.”

Simply Between Millions: From Wall Street to Hollywood is filled with 69 short chapters about being Sicilian, the cute boy syndrome, Goombata Sal, The Wharton and Kellogg business schools, Wall Street, the Jersey Shore, sleeping with NYC strippers and wealthy engaged/married women, the Dot-com crash and burn, Donald Trump, Interventions, the Winner’s Circle (Rich's racehorse), sex-filled yoga retreats, sobriety, Hollywood “babes” and booty calls, auditions, transsexuals, goth gals, making a film for $50,000 and 140+ videos, and Rich’s yoga-inspired charity helping women and children, The Boulevard Zen Foundation.

In the words of his readers, “Rich is the real deal! This book is about his journey through two worlds and the cast of characters who shaped and influenced him along the way! On the surface, it's a wildly entertaining book. On a deeper level, it makes you rethink what it means to be happy, successful, fulfilled, and ultimately at peace with your decisions.” (by George G.) and “Think Big! Rich Tola never gives up! Says it like it is and doesn’t hesitate to give back as much as he gets. Inspirational book on life never getting you down, even when you’re down!” (by Jeanie M).
