George Abbott Gstar, Life Story and Tips to Other Entrepreneurs
George Gstar made a huge profit in less than a year for living in a million dollar penthouse in Silicon Valley. He said that many big tech companies and start-ups are getting funded everyday. Many of these companies are looking to expand into 'free spirit entrepreneurial" markets and have a big budget when it comes to executive salaries. He says this creates a market effect of huge demand for high-end properties.
Over the years George Gstar has amassed a personal real estate portfolio north of $65 million alone, and says that real estate investing has been something he has greatly appreciated. I had a chance to interview George Abbott "Gstar" recently and learn more about him and what drives him and how he made billions with his Multi Business.
Describe your childhood and early learning of your life.

When did you first get the whisper that you belonged in business?
I can't remember a time in my life when I did not already know that I wanted to be in business world. I was living in Florida at the time when it hit me—real estate. The hours seemed flexible, I had already bought and sold a couple of properties, and I loved the close interaction with people. I began working in real estate in Florida, before we decided to move back to New York City where I got my real estate license. I liked real estate in Florida and I loved real estate in New York.
