Philadelphia, Penn., September 26, 2021 — Winners for the 12th Annual Plutus Awards have been announced in a ceremony that took place on September 23, 2021. The winners represent a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds.
“This year has been tricky for a number of reasons,” said Harlan Landes, the founder of the Plutus Awards and the executive director of the Plutus Foundation, which presents the Awards. “We produced a hybrid ceremony and worked to create an environment that was as safe as possible for in-person attendees. We relied heavily on our partner, Capital Group, to help us make that happen.”
Winners in the most-anticipated categories include:
- Blog of the Year: The FIoneers
- Podcast of the Year: Bitches Get Riches
- Video Channel of the Year: rich®ULAR on YouTube
- People’s Choice: Yo Quiero Dinero
Additionally, Joe Saul-Sehy, a long-time member of the community and founder of the popular Stacking Benjamins podcast, was recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
“Congratulations to all of the personal finance content creators recognized by the Plutus Foundation,” said Tom Joyce, senior vice president and head of communications at Capital Group. “Capital Group is committed to improving people’s lives through successful investing. We’re honored to participate in the Plutus Awards, and support individuals who are building communities around financial well-being and the importance of saving and investing for the long-term.”
Other categories include those recognizing creators who focus on providing content for underserved communities, as well as acknowledging well-done coverage of how current events impact finances. The award finalists and winners span a wide cross-section of independent creators working in financial media, with an emphasis on those who approach personal finance in a way not often addressed by mainstream financial media.
“I’m pleased with the wide variety of perspectives and experiences represented by the Plutus Awards finalists and winners,” Landes said. “Many overlooked voices have something important to say, and I’m proud that we offer a platform for them to be heard.”
