Farrah Gray is a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and motivational speaker. He became a self made millionaire at 14 years old!
Farrah started his first entrepreneurial venture at the age of just 6 years old. He would sell homemade body lotions and hand painted rocks, for use as book ends and doorstops, in Chicago’s south side where he grew up. At 7 years of age he regularly carried his own business cards which read “21st Century CEO”.
When he was 8 years old this remarkable young entrepreneur was officially the youngest person to have ever had an office on Wall Street. This was the home of his newly founded company New Early Entrepreneur Wonders (NE2W), which was set up to educate and support “at risk” youth by developing and providing the tools to acquire additional income legally.
When Farrah Gray was 12 years old he founded KIDZTEL, pre paid phone cards for kids, which would end up making him a teenage millionaire.
His list of incredible achievements doesn’t stop their as he was a host on an interactive teen talk radio show where his voice was heard by over 12million listeners every Saturday night. At the same time he had yet another venture running, ‘Far-Out Foods’, food with a twist aimed at young people which brought in $1.5million plus, in revenue, in the first year.
Amongst many awards and accolades Farrah has received, he was given an honorary doctorate degree of Humane Letters from Allen University. ‘Dr’ Gray also uses his drive, enthusiasm and experience to host motivational speaking conferences.
At the age of 26 he is currently best-selling author and CEO of Farrah Publishing. What he has achieved so far in his life is extraordinary and is more than most people complete in a lifetime.
Farrah was motivated to work hard toward financial gain, after seeing his mother suffer in dire financial situations, as a youngster.
He is not all about money, money, money for himself though as he is a companionate person and regularly gives back to the community. Many of his entrepreneurial activities also are targeted at providing help and opportunities for those who are going through difficulties.
He is a social entrepreneur and this was evident in him from an early age as shown by his commitment to NE2W. I have no doubt you will be hearing a lot more about this young entrepreneur in the future.
