27-year-old multimillionaire shares her top tips to build wealth fast

Tori Dunlap is a 27-year-old blogger and finance influencer who founded the finance website HerFirst100K in 2016. She's made it her mission to make financial education more accessible for a wide range of people, including millennials, Gen-Z, and marginalized groups.

Dunlap's journey started as a blog detailing her goal to save $100K before her 25th birthday. Two years later, her debut book 'Financial Feminist' is a New York Times Bestseller. Now, as a multimillionaire, she uses her platform to spread her wealth of knowledge to anyone with an internet connection.

Today's hot tip proves that good things come in threes when she shares "three things I did to become a multimillionaire by age 27." 

But to start, she much-needed adds context. "I think it's super important to acknowledge privilege. I am a cis-gendered, straight, white woman who grew up in a middle-class family. Yeah, there's been a lot of hard work that's gone into this -- like, a lot. However, privilege 100%."

More in Personal Finance:

"Number one, I started investing as soon as I could," she explains. "I opened up a Roth IRA and maxed it out every year. You can do that too, or at least get as close to the maximum as possible. Even just $20 a month is better than nothing."

"[The] second thing I did [was] I started a side hustle that later became my full-time hustle. It's this business. It's HerFirst100k."

"And the third thing," she says, is that "I never stayed in a job that undervalued me. I was always negotiating for more or job hopping."
