Introduction
Grant Cardone’s life has been filled with opportunities and challenges. Despite his success, he believes that becoming a millionaire is about personal growth rather than money. He dismisses the idea of work-life balance, advocating for integrating work into every aspect of life. Cardone studied Accounting in college and later found success in real estate and financial analysis.
In the section “1. Introduction,” and according to the summary, the text should present general information and set the stage for the discussion that follows. This entails laying out the main points or topics that will be addressed in each section. In this context, the introduction provides an overview of Grant Cardone’s life and how he eventually became the well-established American entrepreneur that he is today.
Early Life and Career
In 2017, Cardone launched the Grant Cardone Foundation, a non-profit organization to provides mentorship, financial education and assistance to at-risk and underprivileged youths. He was awarded the prestigious Frank S. Child Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a philanthropist in 2018.
In 2010, Cardone co-founded the National Sales University, where he and other industry professionals would offer sales training and instruction for companies and individuals. His courses would teach sales strategies, customer interaction and technology to “make a sale in person and on the web”. In 2011, Cardone published his first book, “The 10X Rule”, which would go on to be a bestseller. His other books include “Sell or Be Sold” and “If You’re Not First, You’re Last”. His published works have been used in sales and marketing courses and professional development curriculums for many colleges and universities all across the United States.
Cardone describes himself as a “late bloomer” who struggled through high school and college. He discovered, however, that he had an aptitude for sales and used this skill to begin his career. After moving to Chicago, he began working for a sales training company and would spend the next few years travelling to the United States, working with companies to improve their sales processes. In 1987, Cardone moved to Houston, Texas and started a real estate company, which quickly grew and was licensed by the state of Texas and then the state of Florida. He continued to run his company, focusing on single-family and multi-family affordable housing, and took leadership roles within industry organizations.

Over the years, Grant Cardone has founded, partnered with, and been involved with many notable business ventures across a wide range of industries. “The Cardone Group” is a consulting firm founded by Cardone in 2010. With a focus on helping Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and entrepreneurs increase their sales revenue, the firm has been very successful, boasting major clients such as Google, Amazon, and Ford.
Grand Cardone’s Net Worth
Grant Cardone has amassed a fortune of $300 million through various ventures, including real estate, book authorship, digital sales, and social media. He initially made money in the used car business before becoming a prominent sales consultant and CEO. Cardone’s success has allowed him to invest in real estate projects and accumulate a net worth of $300 million. He shares his journey and renovation projects on Instagram and Snapchat. Additionally, his book sales contribute to his wealth, and he constantly seeks new ways to increase his earnings.
Financial Achievements
Cardone’s financial achievements are discussed not only in terms of his net worth but also in the context of his earnings and investments over the years which have led to this substantial figure. As of 2018, Cardone’s estimated net worth is 300 million dollars. He has several main sources of income, the first one being the cash flow from his holdings and investments. His real estate collection has traditionally been a part of his net worth, producing an income level that has only been fairly recent for Mr. Cardone. In addition to his real estate, Grant Cardone is also a published author and a speaker. As of July 2018, he has authored seven books and published 13 business programs. Another source of income for Cardone is his actual business, that of sales coach, public speaker, advertising agent and private equity firm manager at Cardon Enterprises. Each of these sources of income is discussed in further detail later on.
He also makes money from his private equity firm, Cardone Acquisitions, which allows him to raise money and buy things such as large multi-family apartments. Investments at Cardon Capital, which is a technologically advanced real estate firm allows average income earners — who may not be able to invest with traditional methods — to buy shares directly in income and capital of quality real estate. Later on in the summer of 2018, the first Cardone Capital fund was closed; there is discussion on Cardone’s career in investments how his moves in the market and the expert advice he gives every one of his students.
All of the information on the several different sources of income demonstrates that Cardone is an extremely diversified businessman and has a lot of monetary success across the board. As mentioned earlier in the summary, his popular book “The 10X Rule” has been in the top 50 books on Amazon since 2013. The president and CEO of Stratton Studios wrote of “The 10X Rule”: “The content is pure gold…Pages will be dog-eared, highlighted and marked in every way”. He also wrote how readers will make money from applying the knowledge within the book. And even though it is a few years later, the success of his books and the income from them bolsters Cardone’s figures on the list of amount of money he has earned year by year.
