Just 25, Dr. Farrah Gray is already a 19-year veteran of the business world. Raised in the impoverished south side of Chicago, Dr. Gray defied the odds and became a millionaire by age 14.
At the age of 21, he received an Honorary Doctorate degree of Humane Letters from Allen University. This was in recognition of his ingenious economic mind and distinguished commitment to the development of values such as leadership, integrity and scholarship. In his rise from poverty to national and international prominence as an entrepreneurial icon, pre-eminent power speaker and an international bestselling author he has inspired millions around the world.
Dr. Gray's first book Reallionaire was named as the #1 Essence Magazine Best-selling Nonfiction Paperback book remaining on the Essence Best-selling list for nearly three-years.
"Reallionaire" was endorsed by Former President Bill Clinton, Pierre Sutton, Stedman Graham, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Reallionaire has become required reading and part of classroom study from elementary school to entrepreneurship departments on college and university campuses such as Harvard University and Princeton.
Dr. Gray's latest books "Get Real, Get Rich" and "The Truth Shall Make You Rich" are a no-holds-barred rejection of the fallacies we've all heard--and believed--about success and how to achieve it.
Gray's books have been translated into nine different languages including Russian, Korean, Indonesian and Vietnamese languages with book sales in Africa, Australia, and Europe and in Central and South America countries.
Dr. Gray is Founder and CEO of Farrah Gray Publishing (FGP) which is distributed by HCI Books, which published the world famous #1 New York Times, USA Today and Guinness Book of World Records; best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Total retail sales of Chicken Soup for the Soul branded merchandise have topped $1.3 billion.
