Nouveau Riche University Selling Classes To Would Be Investors

Nouveau Riche is selling classes here in Phoenix, AZ on investing in real estate and other services and products. Let me tell you, they are not cheap, at $16,000 you could have invested on learning from books and other classes at a regular university. 

However, as many as 2,500 people pay the money to attend these classes. Personally I am not sure I would pay that much money for their service. However, if that many are attending, some people must see some sort of benefit and/or value in these classes.

I would like to know if anyone is or has attended any of these classes or any like them? Where they that expensive? Where they worth the money? What did you Learn? And did you learn anything that you could not have learned on your own elsewhere?
