Te Kahukura Boynton

Te Kahukura Boynton is a bestselling author, entrepreneur and founder of Māori Millionaire, the largest trauma informed financial literacy platform in Aotearoa. She is on a mission to bridge the wealth gap by making financial education accessible, culturally relevant and grounded in an Indigenous lens. Of Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngai Tūhoe and Te Whakatōhea descent, her work centres lived realities and practical tools that make wealth building feel achievable for communities who have historically been excluded from financial systems.

What began with a bold goal to become a millionaire in her 20’s has grown into a movement of more than 120,000 people online, alongside a fast-growing podcast and national events. Te Kahukura is currently delivering a 12-month partnership with ANZ to produce a financial education series designed to help everyday people build confidence with money and improve financial wellbeing.

A 2025 Young New Zealander of the Year semi finalist and United Nations Entrepreneur of the Day award winner, Te Kahukura’s work focuses on shifting money conversations, reducing financial shame and supporting long term financial wellbeing for whānau and communities across Aotearoa.
