I’ve read almost every books Robert Greene has to offer thats because i really love his work.
Here are 8 fact about Robert Greene to know him better.
1. He is an author of seven books
Of which the first, the 48 laws of power, is still his most sold.
His other books, like Mastery and The 50th Law, have been sold in substantial amounts but are still trailing behind the first.
2. He was a complete failure until he was not
Robert Greene at 36 was without a stable job and still wandering around the world joblessly. He had spoke of this a million times on podcasts.
During that time, he had worked over 60 odd jobs, including construction, before having a breakthrough with the 48 laws of power at 37.
Greene always admits his jealousy of his adjutant, Ryan Holiday. At 37, he’s already twelve books in his resume.
3. He has never been on Joe Rogan
But once, and that was 11 years ago, featuring Marcus Aubrey, the founder of Onnit.
Recently, Robert Greene has been one of the most viewed featured podcasters.
4. Robert Greene is not an AI fan
Not that he hates artificial intelligence, but he always argues that it’s always better to use one’s brain to solve problems than A.I.
Listen to his conversation with Ryan Holiday on the subject.
5. Weak YouTube follower
With only 2.12 million followers in 2026. He has sold more books than he’s followed. It’s no one’s fault, considering he joined YouTube in April 2020.
Although, across all major social media platforms, Greene has gathered over 7 million fans. That includes, youtube, facebook, twitter and Tiktok.
6. Robert Greene has no son
At the age of 65, and no daughter.
However, he has a partner, Hollywood filmmaker Anna Biller, whom he’s been living with in Los Angeles.
In addition, Anna researched and edited Robert’s first book, The 48 Laws of Power, and it was dedicated to her.
7. First social media posts
Robert Greene is a paramount social media latecomer. His first-ever video to be uploaded on YouTube was just four years ago, which has gathered under 200,000 views.
Moving on to Twitter. The first-ever tweet from Mr. Greene was on 13 July 2023.
8. He could talk to birds, literally
But he could speak five different languages.
Including French, Italian, and Greek.
