Even though he's just 23 and has been dubbed by Oprah as an "all-star" with "priceless advice", Dr. Farrah Gray has achieved more than many experience in their entire careers.
Gray’s timeline of accomplishments in entrepreneurship began at age six, when he peddled body lotion for $1.50 door to door. In Chicago, at eight years old, he started UNEEC (Urban Neighborhood Economic Enterprise Club).
At 13, he founded NE2W U.S. A. (New Early Entrepreneur Wonders University Student & Alumni) Capital Search Fund headquartered on Wall Street. Gray officially became a millionaire after hitting sales of $1.5 million for his company, Farr-Out Foods. At 15, he served as the youngest member of the Board of Advisors for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and was sent a special invitation to consult and oversee an entrepreneurial institute for The Minority Business Development Agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Gray believes that "action," as always, "counts for more than mere words" founded the Farrah Gray Foundation.
From age 15 to 18, Gray served on the Board of Directors of United Way as the youngest director ever to sit on their board nationwide. When he was 16, he acquired INNERCITY Magazine from Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, the largest privately-held radio broadcasting company in the U.S. that primarily targets African-Americans.
At 20, Gray became known as an International best selling author with his first book Reallionaire, which has been printed in several foreign languages.
At 21, First Premiere Bank and Diamond Financial Products unveiled its newest debit card, The Farrah Gray "goFarr" Prepaid Mastercard®, which features Gray’s likeness on it.

During the same year, he launched the University of Business Futures (UBF), an entrepreneurship school, in a partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
