Farrah Gray

Growing up in inner-city Chicago in the 1980s, Gray beat the odds to become history’s youngest self-made millionaire, beyond the field of entertainment, at the age of 14. This was largely made possible by his business ventures that included KIDZTEL pre-paid phone cards, the One Stop Mail Boxes & More franchise, and his radio teen talk show “Youth AM/FM” which discussed issues related to youth entrepreneurship.

In his teens, Gray, who became the youngest person to have an office on Wall Street, was also Executive Producer of a comedy show on the Las Vegas Strip and owner of Farr-Out Foods which generated orders exceeding $1.5 million. Now, at 33, Gray is an inspiration to millions and an international bestselling author.
