FAMILY

I'd rather be with my kids than find the next unicorn. That's not a sacrifice, that's a choice.

My mom worked in restaurants my whole childhood. Three jobs, no benefits, no delivery option. DoorDash is the tool she never had.

My dad and I built this at a kitchen table. He's a financial advisor. I was in college. We just thought — why is this so hard for normal people?

My dad built DriveTime. I grew up in the used car business. I saw everything that was broken. Carvana was my answer to all of it.

I'm Korean. I moved to New York with no connections and no money. I started Noom because I watched my father struggle with diabetes his entire life. If I could change one behavior, I could change one life.

My parents immigrated from China to work at Los Alamos National Lab. Nuclear physicists. I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico — population 12,000. Not exactly the startup ecosystem. But the work ethic was world-class.

My grandfather started building in Brooklyn in 1901. My father built LeFrak City. I built Newport. My son will build what comes next. That is how you think about real estate — in generations, not quarters.

My father built 5,000 apartments in Queens for working families. I build luxury apartments in Jersey City. The product changed but the principle did not — people always need somewhere to live.

My mother sold houses in Washington DC. She taught me that every piece of property has a story and a price. If you understand both, you can make money in any market.

My wife carries the BRCA gene. That is why we have given over $100 million to cancer research. Some things are more important than returns.

My father told me — don't ask me for money. Whatever you make, make it from the market. That was the best advice I ever got.

I watched my immigrant parents stress about money every single day. That stress is what drives me. No one should have to lie awake at night because they don't understand how a 401(k) works.

When I became CEO my mother said that is nice dear but can you go get some milk. That is motherhood for you.

I left PIMCO to spend more time with my daughter. I wrote her a letter about it. That letter went viral. I did not expect that.

My mom told me to get three things: a business degree, a master's degree, and a doctorate. Two out of three ain't bad, Mama, but I got all three.

My father's death shaped everything. You either let tragedy destroy you or you use it as fuel.

Every Remitly transfer represents a family connection. Someone is sending money to someone they love.

Teen banking accounts are our trojan horse. Families sign up together. One account becomes three.

My grandmother fled Vietnam with nothing. That story drives everything I do.

Henry and I ran KKR together for 48 years. Family businesses work when egos don't get in the way.

Three generations of my family have built Samsung. I intend to ensure there is a fourth.

I spent my childhood watching my mom work 18-hour days in her restaurant. DoorDash exists because of those days.

My brother ran the White House. I run Hollywood. My mom would say neither of us has a real job.

The Reva flat is named after my mother. She taught me that style doesn't require suffering.

My parents traded goods on the Grand Canal. I trade goods on the internet. The scale is different. The principle is the same.

Three generations built De Beers. I'm the one who had to decide when to let go. That was harder than anything my grandfather did.

My sister ran YouTube. I run a genetics company. Our mother raised us to believe we could do anything. And we did.

My wife writes children's books about math. I run a math-based hedge fund. Our kids never had a chance to avoid numbers.

I named my daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt. When you're the fastest man alive, you earn the right to name your kids whatever you want.

Becoming a father changed me more than any gold medal. Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick are my real legacy.

My money is not just mine. My family sacrificed everything. The first thing I do every month is make sure my mother is taken care of. The rest is extra.

I grew up watching my family struggle financially. That is why I obsess over financial literacy.

People used to say I was living in my father's shadow. But I was living in his memory, and there's a big difference.

My son Asahd is the executive producer because he was in the room when I made the album. He deserves the credit.

Winning the Daytona 500 in 2004 was the greatest thing that ever happened to me on a racetrack. And I finally understood what it meant to my father.

The hardest phone call I ever made was when I had to have a business conversation with my own daughter.

The most important thing my father taught me was that wealth is a responsibility, not a privilege.

We build things to last. That is how my husband did it and that is how we will continue.

The Chinese have a saying: wealth does not survive three generations. I intend to prove that wrong.

My wife Myra told me that buying the Patriots would be good for the community. She was right about everything.

My father taught me that the customer's wallet is not bottomless. Respect it.

My parents were the first in everything they did. I learned that being first is uncomfortable, but it is always worth it.

My parents were expelled from Uganda with nothing. That story is not a sad story — it is a story about resilience that every African entrepreneur understands.

We ask for God's protection and we ask the people who know us to speak the truth.

My father was the greatest businessman I ever knew. And the most demanding person I ever knew.

Being the son of Rupert Murdoch is the best possible credential and the hardest possible standard to live up to. Both things are true at the same time.

My father always said the most important thing you can do is create jobs. That is the legacy I want to build on.

My father worked all his life and built something extraordinary. I owe it to him to protect it and to grow it.

My grandfather taught me that a gentleman is someone who is brave. Everything else flows from that.

My parents came here with nothing after the war. Everything we have built is because of this country and what it made possible for our family.

My grandfather built this legacy. My mother carried it forward. Now it is my responsibility, and I take that very seriously.

My father was a farmer. He worked very hard and had very little. I decided I would work just as hard and build something that could not be taken away.

My mother was my first teacher. She showed me that beauty could transform how you feel, not just how you look.

My father came from Greece with nothing and built a life in Galveston. Everything I did, I did because of what he showed me was possible.

Challenges make us stronger. My husband faced many. My sons face many. We do not step back — we step forward.

My husband always believed in India. I am only carrying forward his dream, and I am doing so with my whole heart.

Being a good steward of what your family built means knowing when to grow and when to hold the line.

John believed in people more than most. That is the inheritance that matters most to me.

Heineken is not just a brand. It is a family story that stretches back over 150 years, and our responsibility is to ensure it continues.

My father worked hard so I could study. I studied hard so my children could build. That is how it works in families that succeed over generations.

We're a very discreet family, we never talk.

There are two things of real value we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings.

Nothing senior, I'm not one of the princelings.

If the family cannot have harmony, the business cannot have harmony, and society cannot have harmony.
