Dive into the explosive lawsuit where RH OBH star Amanda Frances takes on publishing giant Penguin Random House and influencer Vivian Tu over her book "Rich AF." We break down Amanda's journey from Oklahoma academia to building a multi-million-dollar manifestation and money coaching empire with her signature "Rich As Fck" branding – including bold courses like "Building Your Mother Fcking Empire" and eye-catching bathtub money photos dating back to 2016. Discover how Penguin once reached out to publish her book in 2019, she turned them down, self-published a bestseller, and then accused them of ripping off her trade dress, title style, marketing visuals, and causing customer confusion when "Rich AF" hit pre-sales. From her impressive revenue stats (hitting $200K/month fast and $5M annually) to trademark claims, demand for injunctions, book recalls, and profit payouts – we read key parts of the filing and discuss if this was predatory publishing or clever competition. Did they settle quietly? Why is "Rich AF" still selling? Plus, thoughts on manifestation gurus, high-ticket coaching value, and building empires with engaged audiences. Messy money drama you don't want to miss!
