Steve Forbes

Steve Forbes is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media. His newest project is the podcast "What’s Ahead", where he engages the world’s top newsmakers, politicians and pioneers in business and economics in honest conversations meant to challenge traditional conventions as well as featuring Forbes signature views on the intersection of society, economic and policy.

Forbes helped create the recently released and highly acclaimed public television documentary, In Money We Trust?, which was produced under the auspices of Maryland Public television. The film was inspired by the book he co-authored, "Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy – and What We Can Do About It".

Forbes writes editorials for each issue of Forbes under the heading of "Fact and Comment". A widely respected economic prognosticator, he is the only writer to have won the highly prestigious Crystal Owl Award four times. The prize was formerly given by U.S. Steel Corporation to the financial journalist whose economic forecasts for the coming year proved most accurate.

Under Forbes' leadership, the company has launched a variety of new publications and businesses. They include: "ForbesLife", the dedicated luxury lifestyle and culture magazine; "Forbes Asia"; and Forbes licensee editions published in Africa, Argentina, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Middle East, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine. The company also publishes a number of investment newsletters. Another division of the company is Forbes Investors Advisory Institute.
