For many years, Manny Khoshbin has been at the top of the American real estate industry. He was the creator of The Khoshbin Company and the Fuzul app, and he rose from poverty to affluence.
How did the real estate tycoon get from poverty to sizeable net worth?
Learn about his journey from penniless to worth millions, from his home nation to the US.
In his teenage years, he pushed carts and sold candy.
Khoshbin did not have a silver spoon in his mouth from birth. After escaping Iran in 1985, he and his family made their way to the US. He was an immigrant who had no knowledge of his new country but was determined to succeed in life despite this.
He began selling things on the side while still in high school in California, and at the age of 16, he was hired to push carts at Kmart.
Khoshbin looked for other occupations after becoming dissatisfied with his $3.15 per hour job and ended up working for a multi-level marketing company.
He began hawking packs of candy and nuts door to door. After lessons from the encounter, he established a business selling nuts and candy. He had just turned 18 and was still enrolled in high school.
His first obstacle arose when the health department closed his business because it lacked a facility authorized to package food products. Despite losing his business, he discovered his love for being an entrepreneur.
Khoshbin was given a fantastic business purchase opportunity in 1991, two years later. He was informed that a 10% down payment would be all that was required to buy a Mobile petrol station. He used all of his savings to make the purchase, but it turned out to be a hoax, and he lost everything.
A Real Estate Empire is created.
Khoshbin obtained his real estate license in 1992 and started working as a loan officer for a mortgage business. It only took him around six months to launch his venture.
He established The Khoshbin Company, a mortgage and real estate firm, and began investing in bank-owned and troubled properties.
Khoshbin’s Succession
Khoshbin made baby steps in the beginning. His initial purchase was a single-family residence in Gardena, California, to resell. He spent every last penny and effort repairing the house.
With little left, he used credit and cash to repair the home before renting it out. He had to wait two years, but the house’s value skyrocketed, and he received a great return on his investment. When he sold the house, he made more than $100,000.
Khoshbin invested the funds in three more houses for immediate enjoyment instead of purchasing something for the near future. Soon after buying houses, he moved on to buy small apartment complexes and later commercial real estate, which brought him to where he is now.
The wealth of Manny Khoshbin
Manuchehr “Manny” Khoshbin, 50, has a sizable net worth.
Men’s Health magazine included him on its list of “The World’s Richest and Fittest Guys” in April 2011. His net worth was reported to be $45 million in the article.
His real estate endeavors should be credited for a sizable portion of his property.
To date, he has purchased and sold real estate valued at over $800 million, nearly doubling his buy-sale total of $450 million in August 2016.
His $30 million collection of supercars demonstrates his good financial standing.
Three Bugattis, including a Bugatti Chiron, a Full-Carbon McClaren P1, a limited-edition Pagani Huyara, a Saleen S7 TT, a Porsche 918 Spyder, and a Porsche Carrera GT are all part of the collection. Among many other things, it also boasts two SLR Mclaren roadsters, one of which is the restricted 722S version. Additionally, Khoshbin owned a one-of-a-kind, specially manufactured Koenigsegg Agera RS. With all the individualized, extravagant additions like a custom tail wing and gold plating, the automobile cost him $2.2 million.
After five months of ownership, he sold the vehicle for a staggering $1.9 million profit, the fastest he had ever made that much money. He received $4.1 million for the car, which he later sold to another auto collector.
He expanded his collection in April 2021 by acquiring a fresh Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead.
Khoshbin receives some money from his book sales and commercial endeavors.
In October 2012, he released his debut book, Manny Khoshbin’s Contrarian Playbook: How to Build Your $100 Million Real Estate Portfolio from Scratch. Then, in January 2019, he published his second book, “Driven: The Never-Give-Up Roadmap to Massive Success.”
