"Die with Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life" is a book by Bill Perkins, a hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, and former energy trader.

Bill Perkins, known as a successful energy trader and hedge fund manager, has a background that includes producing films and playing high-stakes poker.
