1976, I was all of 18, and when I stepped into the world of business, the capital I had in my hand was 20,000 rupees.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I ran my own business when I was 19, buying condos and renovating apartment buildings.
Certainly after '21' I was getting the opportunity to make a lot of money.
If I was a businessman, I could have made a huge amount of money. But none of that really crossed my mind while I was young and traveling.
I'm not a millionaire. I have a high earning power, but I never did have any capital.
By 25, I was a millionaire.
I was in Washington, D.C., on the morning show, by the time I was 18, programming a station by 19, No. 1 in the mornings. I think I was making, I don't know, a quarter of a million dollars by the time I was 25.
I established my bank in 1988.
I started out in public service in 1998 after the Asian financial crisis of '97.
My revenue was $4 million my first year in business, off of one $20 item.
At 19, I was in the streets making money. I was surviving.
