Headline Keynote Speaker
Ken Honda
Bestselling Author of Happy Money
Became Financially Free. Then Asked A Bigger Question.
What if becoming richer didn't have to come at the expense of becoming happier?
Ken Honda became financially independent at 29. But instead of simply chasing more, he became fascinated by why some people have money and still feel anxious, while others experience it with gratitude, trust and ease.
He went on to study more than 12,000 self-made millionaires, looking beyond how they created wealth to understand how they actually experienced it.
For 15 years, his thinking was shaped by Wahei Takeda, the legendary Japanese investor known as the “Warren Buffett of Japan.” Takeda helped Ken see that understanding money requires more than knowing what to do with it. It also requires understanding how you feel about it.
Ken first shared these ideas in a simple 26-page essay. What started small eventually became a global conversation, and today Ken's books have sold more than 9 million copies worldwide.
Keynote Speaker
Karms Fung
Producer of Happy Money Summit
Financially Free at 34. Then Discovered a Different Kind of Wealth.
What happens when you achieve financial freedom, but realise money doesn't bring you happiness?
Karms Fung built a successful career in accounting, becoming financially independent by 34. She walked away from corporate life to pursue a different kind of success, one built on freedom, fulfilment and impact.
Today, Karms is an author, international speaker and founder of Excel Purpose. She has shared her ideas on international stages including Mindvalley U, inviting audiences to question the beliefs shaping their choices and possibilities.
Her book, The Inner Switch, received an endorsement from Ken Honda, a connection that grew into a shared commitment to helping people rethink their relationship with money and success.
Now, Karms is bringing Ken Honda to Sydney, creating a space to explore a simple but powerful idea: wealth should help you enjoy your life, not just fund it.
Other Voices Supporting The Journey
Each speaker explores a different piece of your relationship with money, success and life.
Together, we create one connected journey.
Brian M. Price
The Relationship-First Wealth Coach
Author of “Fight For Her Not With Her”
“You've built success in every area of your life. Except the one behind your own front door.” Brian was on the brink of divorce, proof that bringing the money home isn't the same as building a happy one. Owning his part in it (sorry honey I've been an a$$hole), not just taking care of the bills, is the reckoning behind his book, Fight For Her Not With Her.
Hendry Tanadi
Turned $2K Into A 7-Figure Portfolio
Founder, Value Based Wealth
Father with two beautiful kids. Starting with $2,000, Hendry built a seven-figure portfolio using long-term, value-based investing, not to stack a number, but to retire both his mum and his wife. That's happy money in practice: putting it to work for who matters most.
Zen Qian
From Hiding to Building a Truly Rich Life
Co-founder of The Happy Ikigai with Ken Honda
Zen co-founded Happy Ikigai alongside Ken Honda, helping people connect success with deeper purpose, because money without purpose is just a bigger number, not a happier life. His session, The Ikigai of Money, asks the real question: what are you actually building it for?

THE VENUE
Just 300 Seats. 200 Years of Ideas.
Happy Money Summit comes to the State Library of New South Wales in its 200th year for an intimate experience unlike a typical large-scale seminar.
Since 1826, this has been a place where people have come to discover ideas, challenge the way they see the world, and carry new knowledge forward.
On 29 January, a new conversation comes into that story.
For one day, just 300 people will gather in the Library's auditorium with Ken Honda and a handpicked group of speakers to explore an idea that has already travelled around the world: What if a richer life begins with a different relationship with money?
In a heritage building that has been preserving and sharing ideas for two centuries.
Some ideas inform us. Some ideas change the trajectory of our lives, and some becomes a legacy we leave behind.
DATE
29 January 2027
VENUE

One extraordinary day. Limited seats. A setting two centuries in the making.
BEYOND THE SUMMIT: KARMS COMMUNITY

Inspired by Happy Money Summit, Karms Fung is creating a community for people who want to keep learning, building meaningful connections and growing together long after the event ends.
Through monthly meetups and conversations with invited experts, members can bring their questions, share experiences and explore new possibilities.
At its heart, it's an opportunity to stay connected with Karms, the people she brings together and the conversations she helps create.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before joining us for Happy Money Summit in Sydney.
Is This Experience Right for Me?VIEW 5 QUESTIONSHIDE QUESTIONS
I've never heard of Ken Honda. Is this event for me?
Absolutely! Ken Honda is Japan's #1 best-selling personal development author, with over 9 million books sold worldwide.
His work explores how our relationship with money shapes the way we earn, spend, give and experience life. Whether you're new to his work or a long-time reader, you don't need to have read his books to enjoy the Summit.
Is this event only for wealthy people?
Not at all. Whether you're building wealth or already financially successful, Happy Money Summit is for anyone wanting a richer life.
As Ken teaches, growing your “money reservoir” means having money available when you need it. More money can mean greater freedom and more opportunities to support the people and causes you care about.
It's not about choosing between more money and a meaningful life. It's discovering how the two can work together.
I've already read Happy Money. Why should I attend?
Reading a book can change your thinking. Experiencing its author in person takes the conversation further.
You'll hear Ken bring his philosophy to life, explore different perspectives on wealth and connect with others on a similar journey. Gold and VIP guests can go deeper in an exclusive 90-minute masterclass with Ken.
Is this a financial seminar or a personal development event?
It's a little of both. You'll explore the emotional side of money with Ken alongside perspectives on investing, relationships, success and purpose.
It's not a get-rich-quick seminar or personalised financial advice. It's about how you create wealth and how you experience it.
I'm coming alone. Will I feel out of place?
Not at all! Some of the best connections happen when you walk into a room without knowing anyone.
If meeting like-minded people matters to you, consider Gold or VIP, where there are more opportunities to connect with people intentionally investing in their growth and relationships.
Come for Ken's wisdom. You might leave with new friendships, collaborations and opportunities.
