Who is Kevin O’Leary?

Canadian born Kevin O’Leary is the son of former business owner Georgette and Salesman Terry O’Leary. He grew up under the care of his mother in part, taught him everything he needed to know. You see, his mother was huge on saving and tucked away a third of her salary from each paycheque.

As a kid, he drew inspiration from one of his first jobs at an ice cream parlor that saw him fired. The incidence scarred him for life since he vowed to work and become his own boss. The dream soon came to pass after O’Leary’s campus life.

The business tycoon started as an intern before getting a promotion as an assistant brand manager at Nabisco, a cat food company. Together with a group of friends, they later formed a television production company called SET.

Destined for greater things, the young entrepreneur sold out his share for $25k and invested it in a software distribution company for CD-Roms called Softkey. The company got rebranded a couple of times before he finally sold it in 1999 to Mattel for $4.2 billion making a significant mark on his net worth for the first time.

Work Highlight

As an investor, you’ll know that some deals can go south while others can work in your favor. Kevin had better days after funding several other firms including O’Leary Funds alongside his brother, Shane in 2008.

He features on TV shows like Dragon’s Den, Shark Tank, Discovery Project Earth, and The Lang and O’Leary Exchange. To further on his television career, the business capitalist produced his reality show called Redemption Inc and even hosted it.
