Rashad Bilal is a financial advisor, and alongside Troy Millings, has become famous as a financial literacy expert.
Bilal, who fares from the Bronx, is getting a lot of recognition for being on a quest to provide financial knowledge to the African American community.
He recognized that financial literacy is frighteningly low when it comes to African American communities, especially from the lower classes.
To make sure that these people get a leg up in the field so they could fare better, Bilal alongside Millings, began the Earn Your Leisure podcast in January 2019.
They started with an iPhone and shotgun mics, but have since become known as cultural shifters who have been approached by and earned the interest of such prominent African American celebrities and media figures as Steve Harvey, Jemele Hill, and Nick Cannon.
How Much Is Rashad Bilal From Earn Your Leisure's Net Worth?
Financial advisor Rashad Bilal has an estimated net worth of about $32 million as of 2022.

Rashad Bilal Is An Financial Advisor
Despite his impressive net worth, Rashid Bilal is most known for being a go-to resource for financial literacy for the African American community.
However, Bilal has a lot to thank for Troy Millings, who began the entire idea when he saw a flawed education system failing the students. Millings brought Bilal along, who was also starting his financial career, so they could devise a plan to help people in their community gain financial literacy.
Though Millings was more in charge during the early days, Bilal soon followed suit and started pulling his weight after a couple of years in the game.
They've described their partnership as Millings teaching Bilal about being an educator and Bilal teaching Millings about finances. Since then, with a successful podcast, Youtube channel, and company, Bilal has become the ideal example of what a financial advisor ought to be.
Also, as a successful African American man, he has become an inspiration to his community and his people.
