Grant Cardone is an established businessman who owns multiple companies. He runs a real estate investment firm that owns over $4 billion worth of properties, an equity management firm, is a popular speaker, has appeared on major TV shows such as Undercover Billionaire on Discovery Channel and hosts his 10X Growth Conference with an estimated personal net worth estimated at over $600 Million.
Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana to a single parent mother who later died during childhood and who raised him alone was difficult, yet necessary. Working to support his family meant starting his career as a car salesman before eventually transitioning into real estate investing and coaching. Graduating with his Master’s in Accounting from McNeese State University with over two decades of experience working within financial industries was no small feat!
Cardone offers several online courses that teach sales scaling strategies and real estate investing, making him incredibly popular with students as he holds conferences that draw over 100,000 attendees each year. His programs may be costly but provide invaluable knowledge that can help grow any business.
One of the most coveted programs offered by Grant is his Freedom Mentor Apprentice Program. This 50/50 profit-sharing apprenticeship includes weekly calls and funding resources; access to his team of experts; as well as cost between $3000 and $10k to join.
Grant offers another real estate tool called 10X Deal Finder that serves both property buyers and sellers by providing leads. It helps both parties identify high-profit opportunities while assessing their market. Using Automated Valuation Modeling and Dynamic List Stacking technology, users can get accurate property values. Plus, users can create custom lists or marketing campaigns.
Grant is currently venturing into real estate syndication through Cardone Capital. Through their fund, non-accredited investors are permitted to invest in apartment buildings with the intention of collecting rents and increasing tenant earnings; however, according to a lawsuit brought against Cardone they may be misleading investors and defrauding them of money.
Cardone, although an established businessman with a large following, has faced criticism over some of his business practices. These have included allegations that he relies on followers of his to raise money by selling investments through pooled funds; as well as misusing his celebrity status to promote these funds. No matter whether these allegations are valid or not, there’s no doubt that Cardone’s online empire could be at stake due to this potential misuse.
