Farrah Gray Net Worth $2 million
Even at a young age, Farrah’s mind was already set on business. At the age of six, he started selling homemade lotion and did hand painting of rocks which he advertised door to door; the painted stone would function as a door wedge and he would also promote the business through a card, despite the fact that he was from a poor neighborhood. The card would be noticed by Roy Tauer, who would introduce Gray to the Urban Neighborhood Economic Enterprise Club or UNEEC, so at the age of 11 he was already making headlines and being interviewed by local news. Three years later, his net worth was really established when he became a self-made millionaire which was thanks to the company Farr-Out Food.
Farrah then went on to acquire Inner City Magazine, and received an Honorary Doctorate degree of Humane Letters from Allen University at the young age of 21. The doctorate was justified thanks to his will and genius in elevating himself from poverty, and so is considered one of the best icons in terms of entrepreneurship and values. Thanks to his success, he’s been featured in numerous publications, including Ebony Magazine and National Urban League’s Urban Influence Magazine. Since gaining popularity, Gray has been invited to speak internationally, and is known to be one of the most popular motivational speakers around the world.
Gray has written three books – his first was released in 2005 entitled “Reallionaire: Nine Steps of Becoming Rich on the Inside Out”, co-authored with Fran Harris, which became a huge success after being promoted by various names including Bill Clinton. Two years later he released “Get Real, Get Rich”, and in 2009 he wrote “The Truth Shall Make You Rich: The New Road Map to Radical Prosperity”. Aside from these books, he is also a columnist with the National Newspaper Publishers Association or NNPA – most of his columns are published in around 200 weekly newspapers, and are read by more than 15 million people.
Over the course of his career, he’s been given numerous honours, including the Trumpet Award, The Network Journal Under-Forty Class Award, and The Urban Business Roundtable’s Top 40 Game-Changers.
For his personal life, information on any relationship is lacking. It is known that Farrah created the Farrah Gray Foundation which focuses on teaching young people about entrepreneurship. He also mentioned that one of his inspirations was his grandmother, who always gave him support and inculcated an optimistic mind set in him.
