For the second day, they have been mourning the murdered Charlie Kirk, including even in Russia. I decided to read about him.
He was born into a wealthy family living in a five-room mansion in Prospect Heights, on the outskirts of Chicago.
His mother worked as a trader on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and later as a mental health consultant, and his father, Robert W. Kirk, held the position of project manager for the construction of the Trump Tower in New York (!!!)
In short, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
"Classmates described young Kirk as a "rude", "arrogant" person with a "superiority complex".
Kirk's height is 190 cm, which is very important for America - he recently gave research on how tallness affects a career. In particular, in the United States, a presidential candidate shorter than 180 cm has no chance of being elected (Trump is 189 cm, Biden is 184 cm, Obama is 187 cm, Clinton is 189 cm, Bush Jr. is 182 cm, etc.).
At 18, his protégé was Trump's future geostrategist, Steve Bannon. Then, at 19, he fell under the wing of 71-year-old Tea Party leader Bill Montgomery, "who inspired him to devote himself to political activism. Together, they founded the nonprofit Turning Point USA (TPUSA)."
Kirk never completed his college education. He briefly attended Harper College, a state college near Chicago, but dropped out. By then, TPUSA had become his full-time job. That same year, multimillionaire investor Foster Friess became Kirk's main sponsor. (The irony is that a person without a college degree traveled to universities and taught students how to live)
At 22, Kirk became friends with Donald Trump Jr. and worked with him, Eric Trump, and Lara Trump during their father's election campaign (since 2015).
And then Kirk's career went like clockwork. Already at about 25-26 years old, he became a dollar millionaire.
"At the time of his death, Charlie Kirk's net worth was estimated at $14 million and was formed from numerous sources of income, including his work at TPUSA, media projects, book sales, speaking engagements, and real estate investments.
His organization TPUSA had revenues of $81.7 million in 2023.
Charlie Kirk is the author of several books, including Time for a Turning Point (2016) (written at age 23!), Campus Battlegrounds (2018), and The MAGA Doctrine (2020), which have collectively earned him approximately $1.5 million in royalties. Another significant source of income has been his speaking engagements, with fees ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 for live performances and $10,000 to $20,000 for virtual appearances, bringing in approximately $500,000 annually. Kirk's real estate portfolio includes a mansion in Scottsdale purchased for $4.75 million and listed for $6.5 million in 2024, a condo in Florida for $855,000, and a condo in Phoenix. Additional assets include a $2 million investment portfolio and luxury cars such as a Porsche Macan.
Kirk's lifestyle, including his Scottsdale estate with a resort-like pool, reflected his financial success, although he preferred discipline to extravagance. His ability to use the TPUSA platform and his media presence to amass a multimillion-dollar fortune was a testament to his entrepreneurial acumen.
Charlie Kirk married Erica Franz (who has German roots), a podcaster and former Miss Arizona."
In general, such a person must be right - rich and successful.
And in general, a good guide on how to become a dollar millionaire by the age of 25, even without a higher education: be born into a rich family with good genetics and in the right place (the city of a million Chicago), from youth use the horizontal and vertical connections of your parents and their mycelium, the right acquaintances with people much higher than yourself and the ability to gain their favor, efficiency - Kirk really worked a lot, 50-55 hours a week, the absence of harmful causes (alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction).
