From Nine To Noon, 10:14 am on 17 June 2025

Money makes the world go round, but what happens when you have none? Te Kahukura Boynton - the founder of Māori Millionaire, which is a platform dedicated to educating others, particularly rangatahi Māori, on how to achieve financial freedom.

Today, she's launched her debut book.

Touted as a beginner's guide to clearing debt and building wealth, Te Kahukura says you can't budget your way out of poverty, but you can educate yourself and build wealth according to your values, for you and your future.

Te Kahukura - of Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāi Tuhoe and Te Whakatōhea descent - has her own personal goal of becoming a millionaire by age 25.

Her book - Māori Millionaire: A beginner's guide to building better money habits - hits the shelves today.
