Brad is the youngest in a Jewish family, and grew up in the Bronx neighborhood. After high school, he enrolled at the prestigious University of Buffalo, and obtained a degree in business and communications. Even while in university, Brad started gaining practical knowledge, working as a ‘gofer’ for Harvey Weinstein, and producing Frank Sinatra`s concert at the Buffalo War Memorial Auditorium, held in 1979. Furthermore, Brad also attended The Improv group`s events, and soon spotted future comedian Bob Saget, and launched him in New York.
Brad really reached stardom in the 1980s, when he teamed up with the talented Bernie Brillstein, and started Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, through which Brad began his career as a producer. He has produced several successful shows, including “It`s Garry Shandling`s Show” (1986-1990), and several television films plus “The Garry Shandling Show: 25th Anniversary Special” (1986), “Mr. Miller Goes to Washington Starring Dennis Miller” (1988), and “Bob Saget: In the Dream State” (1990), among many others. However, their joint venture ended with a lawsuit against one another, and Grey ventured out on his own; Bernie sold his share of the company to Brad, and Grey renamed it to Brad Grey Television, producing numerous successful television series, variety shows and even films, which only increased his net worth. Some of the most popular titles include TV series “The Sopranos” (1999-2007), “Politically Incorrect” (1996-2002), and “Just Shoot Me” (1997-2003), then films “Dirty Work” (1998), “City by the Sea” (2002), “View from the Top” (2003), and variety shows “The Steve Harvey Show” (1996-2002), “The Larry Sanders Show” (1992-1998), and many other productions, which certainly helped him increase his net worth, but also earned him credit for the position he took in 2005.
