Marie Forleo is an American entrepreneur, author and online educator. According to Wikipedia, she was born on December 7, 1975, was raised in New Jersey and graduated from Seton Hall University in 1997 with a degree in business finance. The same article lists early jobs as a trading assistant at the New York Stock Exchange and at Gourmet and Mademoiselle magazines, followed by work as a dance and fitness instructor while she built an online newsletter and coaching clientele.
She founded Marie Forleo International in 2009, according to Wikipedia, which is the company behind her courses and media. In May 2011 she launched an online business program with Laura Roeder under the name Rich, Happy & Hot B-School, later shortened to B-School.
She publishes the web series MarieTV on YouTube (1.01 million subscribers and about 1,700 videos, read on September 14, 2026) and hosts The Marie Forleo Podcast. Her Instagram account @marieforleo, linked from her official site, showed 935K followers on the same date. She appeared on Oprah's SuperSoul programming, including a SuperSoul Sessions talk on Everything Is Figureoutable at UCLA's Royce Hall that Oprah.com lists as aired on May 22, 2019.
Her books are Make Every Man Want You (2008) and Everything Is Figureoutable, published by Portfolio (Penguin Random House) on September 10, 2019, with a paperback edition in December 2020. The publisher describes it as a #1 New York Times bestseller.
She sells four paid products on her own sites, all self-paced and with checkout open at the time of reading (September 14, 2026). B-School is a six-module online business program covering offers, marketing, content, audience growth and websites; its FAQ page lists tuition starting at $1,997 for the self-guided version paid in full, with lifetime access, 12 months of access to custom AI tools and a 14-day refund window that requires submitting completed coursework. The Copy Cure is a four-module copywriting course priced at $1,497 in one payment or three monthly payments. Time Genius is a five-module time management course (21 video lessons) priced at $997 in one payment or 10 payments of $119, with a 7-day refund window tied to completed coursework. Build Your $250K Offer is a $47 AI web app that generates an offer, sales page copy and an email sequence based on her frameworks.
According to her own B-School site, the program has had more than 80,000 students in 650+ industries over 15 years; no independent source for that figure was found. Her site also says her work reaches 195 countries, also without independent confirmation.
On reputation, what can be verified is mainstream media coverage (Oprah.com, her publisher) and the absence of enforcement records found: a search of ftc.gov on September 14, 2026 returned no action under her name, and a general web search for lawsuits or state attorney general actions returned none. The OpenCorporates company search could not be read, so registration details of Marie Forleo International were not confirmed. Whether B-School has higher-priced tiers beyond the self-guided version was not confirmed either.
