John C. Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group, was a pioneering investor and advocate for low-cost, long-term investing. Credited with creating the first index fund for individual investors, he championed passive investing as the most effective way to build wealth. His other best-selling books include The Little Book of Common Sense Investing and Stay the Course, both of which reinforce his philosophy of simplicity and discipline in financial markets.
