If you’ve ever wondered how far a kid could go to become a billionaire, Pamela Butchart’s latest book, Diary of a Future Billionaire, delivers a wildly entertaining answer. With her signature humour and fast-paced storytelling, Butchart brings to life a ten-year-old with a big dream, big plans, and a whole lot of determination.
Meet the World’s Richest Ten-Year-Old (Or So He Says)
The book follows a confident and ambitious boy who has meticulously planned his rise to billionaire status. Unlike some rags-to-riches stories where luck plays a part, our protagonist is certain that his success is no accident—it’s the result of careful planning, business strategy, and a bit of childhood imagination.
From money-making schemes to unexpected challenges, the book takes readers on a rollercoaster of wins and losses as he attempts to build his empire. Along the way, he learns that while money can buy a lot of things, it can’t always solve the most important problems—like friendships, family, and the unpredictable nature of life itself.
Pamela Butchart: The Queen of Comedy for Kids
Pamela Butchart is no stranger to writing books that make kids laugh out loud. A bestselling author, she has brought us hits like The Spy Who Loved School Dinners and Baby Aliens Got My Teacher. Her books are full of energy, chaotic fun, and characters that feel so real, you’d swear you went to school with them.
Butchart’s knack for capturing childhood logic, wild imagination, and the kinds of ideas that seem like genius (at least to a 10-year-old) makes Diary of a Future Billionaire another instant hit. She doesn’t just write stories—she taps into how kids think, dream, and scheme, making her books unmissable for young readers.
