Arneeb Mahbub

Arneeb Mahbub has tried just about everything—and failed at most of it—so you don’t have to. He’s written songs that nearly hit a million streams, launched side hustles that fizzled, invested in startups that soared (and some that crashed), and learned the hard way how fast “easy money” disappears. As someone who grew up with privilege, he hated being talked down to by people who assumed he was an entitled, lazy rich kid—and he wrote Windfalls and Wipeouts to prove them wrong. Witty, raw, and unapologetically honest, Arneeb draws on his own missteps and wins to show how to keep your sudden fortune from turning into an expensive regret. Whether it’s music, business, or bad investments, he’s been there, lost that—and now shares the lessons so you can skip the wipeouts and keep the windfalls.
