On Thursday May 7, 2026, in Charlotte, N.C., the winners of the 15th Annual Plutus Awards will be presented with their trophies and prizes. The latest awards ceremony will be hosted by previous Plutus Awards winners Sandy Smith (Yes, I Am Cheap and Elevate) and Joe Saul-Sehy (Stacking Benjamins), and the event is part of The Power of One: The Plutus Impact Summit.
As the Plutus Awards return for the first time since September 2023, the format has changed slightly. This year’s selection reflects a “Hall of Fame” for money content and community. The Awards team at the Plutus Foundation has eliminated the categories to focus on independent financial educators, content creators, influencers, advisors, and coaches who have a history and track record of moving the conversation about money forward in new and creative ways. As always, the selections have been chosen from community submissions and nominations.
Prizes for this year’s winners for those receiving their Plutus Awards in person include a newly-designed trophy, gifts, and an honorarium worth over $500, sponsored by the Plutus Foundation, CRUSH Your Money Goals with Bernadette Joy, and Orchid Money.
