Raised in the impoverished south side of Chicago, Farrah Gray defied the odds and became a millionaire at the age of fourteen. He was the youngest person to have an office on Wall Street, youngest in history to receive an honorary doctorate. Now, at twenty-two, hes an inspiration to millions, as a speaker (addressing more that 250,000 people annually), a money coach on AOL, a consultant to businesses including JPMorgan and Chase, and the bestselling author of Reallionaire. In Get Real, Get Rich, Gray shares the secret to his success: an emphatic rejection of the fallacies weve all heard and believed about what it takes to truly succeed.
