The Quiet Millionaire: Joey Battista’s Rules for Money and Life
Joey Battista is a CEO, coach, and founder of Battista Academy — but his real story is one of grit, humility, and a relentless drive to leave people better than he found them. In 2008, Joey lost everything during the financial crisis. No safety net. No shortcuts. Just a rock-bottom moment that forced him to rebuild from scratch. And rebuild he did — not only regaining his wealth, but far surpassing it.Yet, you won’t catch Joey flashing cars or dripping in designer labels. His philosophy is simple: real wealth is when you’re rich and no one knows it. For Joey, money is a tool, not a trophy — and legacy is measured in the lives you impact, not the things you own. Through Battista Academy, he teaches entrepreneurs how to build businesses that are both profitable and principled, with a focus on discipline, leadership, and serving others. Whether he’s running his dealerships, mentoring a startup founder, or speaking to a packed room, Joey brings raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and a belief that the most valuable thing you can leave behind isn’t your bank account — it’s your example.
