Las Vegas, NV, November 16, 2010
– Acclaimed author,
syndicated columnist, and entrepreneur Farrah Gray offers readers
Reallionaire: Nine Steps to Becoming Rich from the Inside Out (HCI)
just in time to help them keep those so-often abandoned resolutions for the New
Year. Raised in the projects on the south side of Chicago, Gray defied the odds
and became a self-made millionaire by the age of 14.
Gray began his
entrepreneurial, personal and civic development as a stellar young citizen at
six years old selling homemade body lotion and his own hand-painted rocks as
bookends door-to-door. At age seven, he was carrying business cards reading
“21st Century CEO.” He went on to foster companies as diverse as a venture
capital fund to food manufacturing.
His rise from poverty to
international renown as an entrepreneurial icon and preeminent power speaker has
inspired millions around the world and is now available to readers in
Reallionaire; Get Real, Get Rich; and The Truth Shall Make You Rich.
Gray’s books have been translated into Russian, German, Polish, French, Korean,
Indonesian, and Vietnamese languages with book sales in Africa, Australia and
Europe and in Central and South American countries. Grays books have also become
required reading in university classrooms at Harvard and Princeton, among
others.
Gray has extensive experience advising readers about personal and
professional matters. He is a syndicated columnist with the National Newspaper
Publishers Association federation of 200 weekly newspapers reaching more than 15
million readers. As an AOL Money Coach, Gray gives daily leadership, personal
and professional development, diversity, strategic planning, creativity, and
financial management advice to millions of AOL subscribers.
His sense of
social responsibility motivated him to create the non-profit organization, The
Farrah Gray Foundation, which focuses on inner city community-based
entrepreneurship education and provides financial assistance for students from
at-risk backgrounds to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He
donates his speaking engagement honorariums, which can be upwards of $15,000,
and the proceeds of his book to his foundation.
At the age of 21 in
recognition of his ingenious economic mind and distinguished commitment to
values such as leadership, integrity, and scholarship, Gray received an Honorary
Doctorate degree of Humane Letters from Allen University. He holds Keys to the
Cities of Dallas, Shreveport, and Cincinnati. He has also received Proclamations
from the Governors of Illinois and Nevada, the Mayors of Louisville, Kentucky,
Chicago, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Wilmington, Delaware, and St. Thomas in
the US Virgin Islands. Dr. Gray’s Awards include The National Urban League
Whitney M. Young Jr. Entrepreneurship Award, The Alabama A&M Students In
Free Enterprise (SIFE) Award, and The Davidson College Love of Learning Lifetime
Educational Achievement Award, Central State University Award of Appreciation
for contributions made in the area of entrepreneurship, NV Magazine Vision
Award, and the American Red Cross Award of
Appreciation.
