Verdict
Is 12 Month Millionaire worth it?
Yes for the free stream, and yes for the $97 books if you sell with offers, ads or mail. No for VIP unless you want the private session, because it can't be refunded and it starts a $97-a-month newsletter after 30 days. Here is the math, what you can check, and who should skip it.

The live aired on November 12, and on November 13 the full stream was still public on Russell Brunson's YouTube channel. For what happened on the day, see the 12 Month Millionaire date and time guide.
What you actually pay in year one
The books cost $97 whether you pre-ordered or bought at the event, per the order page FAQ, and the VIP page still sold them at $97 on November 13. The number that changes is the newsletter, which comes free for 30 days with VIP and then bills monthly.
| What you do | First 12 months |
|---|---|
| Watch free, buy nothing | $0 |
| VIP, cancel the Letter inside 30 days | $97 + shipping |
| VIP, keep the Letter | $1,164 + shipping |
| VIP, both add-ons, keep the Letter | $1,261 + shipping |
$1,164 is the $97 box set plus 11 monthly charges of $97. The order page FAQ says you are not charged if you cancel the Letter inside the 30 days, so set a day-25 reminder.

Who 12 Month Millionaire is worth it for
Buy the books if you write sales copy, run paid traffic to an offer, sell a monthly continuity product, or want to mail past buyers. The original 2004 book is a direct response playbook built on magazine ads, direct mail and continuity, and it holds a 4.41 rating from 32 ratings on Goodreads. One r/Entrepreneur commenter called it a "hypey title" that is still a solid direct response guide.
Skip it if you want step-by-step online funnels, SEO or affiliate marketing. The book teaches offline methods and you translate them yourself. Skip VIP if you tend to forget subscription cancellations.
The case against it
The criticism is about the man and the claims, not the price. Reviewer Egon Sarv quotes a plea agreement saying the supplement pills Vincent's business sold cost $2.50 a bottle and sold for about $60. Copywriter Alan Sharpe disputed the old sales letter's income comparison. Vincent says he spent 18 years on the run after a short jail term and describes the case as state overreach. The sales page itself says his results are not typical.
None of that changes the $97 math. It does mean you should judge the book on its methods and ignore the income story.
How it compares with the Side Hustle Summit offer
Prime Mover ran the Side Hustle Summit with Iman Gadzhi in September. Both launches use a free live event to sell a paid product. The difference is the ticket size: Monetise cost $1,995 with a 7-day refund, while 12 Month Millionaire costs $97 with no refund on the pre-order and an optional $97-a-month newsletter. Our Side Hustle Summit worth-it verdict covers the September offer.
Our verdict
12 Month Millionaire is worth it as a free event and as a $97 pair of direct response books. Watch the free stream while it stays on YouTube, and buy the books only if Vincent earns it. They were still $97 on November 13. Take VIP only for the private session, with a reminder to cancel the Letter before day 30.
