Caroline Knowles

Caroline Knowles is a British sociologist and professor who researches global inequality, migration, and the hidden systems that shape our economic lives. She is a professor of sociology at the University of London and has conducted fieldwork across the world. Serious Money examines how the super-rich live, where their money goes, and the global infrastructure of wealth that most people never see. Knowles follows the money through offshore accounts, luxury real estate, private jets, and the professionals who service extreme wealth, revealing a hidden world that operates alongside — but largely invisible to — ordinary society. The book was praised for its investigative depth, its clarity, and the important questions it raises about inequality. Serious Money is available as an audiobook alongside the print edition, giving listeners an eye-opening and accessible way to understand how extreme wealth really works.
