Trash magazine
February 1, 2024

Forbes articles are not truthful, if they don't like someone they will continue to lie about that person. I found at least 7 that were not truthful, will never again

I've read reviews sayimg this magazine lacks honesty. My complaint is of a different nature. The article that I take umbrage with was written about the made up "Top Ten Reasons People Use not to Wear a Mask." They were all relatively silly, trying to give the impression that the persons were being friolous. None of this "top ten" included a very valid reason for not waring a mask, wbich is heart or lung disease. It would be nice if the article hadn't been so biased that they couldn't even come up with one reason that is valid. I'm disgusted with this magazine.

For this reason alone, i rate forbes a 1/5, though in reality it doesn't deserve any points as it is essentially a broken website that does not allow me to view it.

I am SO sick of sites that block you out completely with giant pop up that block the entire site unless you turn your adblock off. NO, I will NOT turn my adblock off, I will just go to another site that doesn't block me out completely for using adblock!

I read Forbes more than I would like to because they often cover topics of interest for me, namely regarding the stock market.
But they provide factually false information and as "investing experts" they know that they're providing false information.
For instance, they constatly trash Roth IRAs versus traditional IRAs because "paying taxes beforehand will make you earn less compared to someone whom only pay taxes afterwards whom have a big headstart". It may be counter intuitive but it's entirely false. Let me prove it to you. Let's say taxes are 15%, you invest $1000 and will double your gain over time.
By paying taxes beforehand, you only invest $850 after taxes, which will double, so that's $1700.
If you pay taxes later, you invest $1000 and it doubles afterwards so that's $2000. Now you take off 15% taxes so that's $300 off, leaving you $1700.
As you can see with this example, Forbes tends to push false narratives that can be mathematically proven false. Is there a conflict of interest, is content sponsored to push a narrative, are the journalists letting their own beliefs take over what's actually true? I don't know but don't trust what they say.

Great media. I read Forbes for 8 years and it always fresh and interesting. Journalists job on a high level! Recommend it to all! In my opinion it's much more better than The Economist or other similar website. The only one thing, I don't understand why sitejabber select the image with putin?

Used to having a big interest to the business world and didn't hesitate acquiring forbes magazines to stay tuned.
I always liked reading their magazines, cause there are many successful stories of different worldwide entrepeneurs. Other than that, forbes is considered to be the highest social media about financial.
So, I'm a satisfied reader, fortunately, nowadays everything's digital.

Daily read forbes
December 28, 2023

I daily read Forbes. Not I am not going to mimic billionaire lifestyle, but I wish to. There's a belief that forbes is either for those who have already reached success in life or for those who understand that they will never be able to attaing such heights and prefer leaf through pages enviously.
Can't state that I refer myself to some of these groups. For me it's a source of valuable;e financial knowledge in the first place. Back in the day I spent money on paper version, but nowadays everything is digital around us.

Great media!
October 2, 2022

Great media! The name speaks for itself! Love it for good articles and even motivation for yourself. After reading the new issue, you feel motivated to shoot for something more. I read it for more than 6 years after our college professor recommended reading it!

June 10, 2015

While the content of this site may be good, super opinionated but good, it os by far the worst site I have ever used on my phone. Just wanted to look at the pictures for a 1 through 10 ranking and it took over 10 minutes. Every time I got through 3 an add would pop up and put me back 2 pages. Load if crap in a smart phone era.

While reading about people that have "way more money" then I do can get me down sometimes, I've always enjoyed Forbes. Rich informative content that you can apply to your business and personal life from the pros that have did it themselves. So sure, 5 stars it is!

Insider's Story
April 22, 2015

As we all nurse the hangover from an era of financial excess, it's important to remember what a big part the business media played in the whole affair - and during the boom years on Wall Street no publication was more important than Forbes magazine. But Forbes fell apart for many of the same reasons as other institutions: because greed and hubris proved to be more powerful forces than the principled pursuit of excellence. Stewart Pinkerton, who was the magazine's managing editor for many years, gives us the inside story of the decline and fall of Forbes--and at the same time offers a salutary tale of what can happen when the infatuation with digital media erodes the kind of quality journalism that Forbes once upheld.

Reliable and accurate
February 27, 2020

I'm not a subscriber who writes this review, but I can say that I've been using Forbes Financial reports as part of my Far-East reports. I like the way they compile data and present it to the world. This 5-star review is the least I can do to repay for all the efforts.
