From sleeping in a car at twenty-one to advising on billion-dollar deals, Devon Coombs built the financial system most people are never taught.
The tools don’t change. Just the zeros.
The 10 Laws of Finance is a real-world education in money, business, and freedom for anyone who has ever opened their banking app and wondered where it all went. Whether you’re working two jobs and falling further behind, deciding if a stable salary is worth what it costs you, weighing a startup offer against a steady paycheck, or sitting on a high income and wondering why you still feel out of control, the laws in this book scale to whatever your numbers are.
Author Devon Coombs lays out the same ten principles he used to climb from homelessness and ten thousand dollars of debt to advising on multibillion-dollar transactions at Google Cloud—and then used again to walk away from a $400,000+ compensation package, decline job offers approaching a million dollars, and design a life on his own terms with his wife and daughter. They are the same principles he now teaches in a college classroom and runs against his own family’s balance sheet every month.
Every chapter pairs lived experience with a usable tool. No shortcuts, no get-rich promises—only the system Coombs wishes someone had handed him in that parking lot, written so it works whether there’s $60 or $60 billion at stake.
For readers of Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Psychology of Money, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, Your Money or Your Life, and The Total Money Makeover—and for everyone who was told that getting the degree, getting the job, and following the rules would be enough.
Devon Coombs, CPA, MBA, is a finance educator, consultant, and former Google Cloud accounting leader who helps professionals and students understand finance in practical, life-changing ways. After overcoming homelessness in early adulthood, Devon built a career across public accounting, IPO consulting, technical accounting, and finance leadership before moving into teaching and entrepreneurship.
He is a Teaching Professor of Finance and Real Estate Faculty Director at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business, where he teaches real estate finance, investments, and applied business concepts. Devon also advises companies on revenue accounting, AI-enabled finance transformation, and strategic decision-making.
He is the author of The 10 Laws of Finance: A Real-World Education in Money, Business, and Freedom. His writing focuses on making finance and business concepts clear, useful, and human, connecting technical concepts to career growth, leadership, personal resilience, and long-term wealth building. He also publishes free interactive finance courses, calculators, and frameworks on his website, the Devon Coombs Academy. Devon lives in San Jose, California, with his wife and daughter.
