The financial crisis is raising Madison Avenue's interest in CNBC financial advisor Suze Orman. And her sudden stardom in advertising is raising some eyebrows about possible conflicts of
interest.
At a time when the public is hungry for help with personal finances, Orman is the best-known personal-finance adviser out there. In addition to her weekly CNBC show, she
frequently appears on "Larry King Live," NBC's "Today," CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360°" and "Oprah."
The concern is that if she is working as a pitch women for certain financial companies, her once independent and credible advice could become biased toward the companies, financial products and industries she represents.
