There’s a neat article on Forbes right now about Divyank Turakhia. Divyank and his brother Bhavin turned a $600 loan from their parents into a massive company (Directi) that was sold for a reported 9 figures back in 2013.
According to the video embedded within the article, Div is now working on his seventh company, Media.net. In addition, Div has a reported net worth of around $450 million. A great deal of Div’s net worth has come from the success of his domain industry businesses, which includes Skenzo, Radix, BigRock, and others. Div is just 33 years old.
The focus of the Forbes article is not only on Divyank’s domain industry companies, but also on his aeronautical skills and his enjoyment of flying.
Unfortunately, I am unable to embed the video within this article, but it’s worth checking out when you have a chance.
Div is one of the nicest guys in the business.
If someone met him today, they would never know how much he has accomplished and how much he is worth.
He is very humble.
I remember 10-12 yrs ago when he was only worth a few million.
Is he the guy that at a TRAFFIC auction bought a big name as Rick encouraged him and then it did not close or took some work afterward to close?
I think there were legal issues regarding that:

That’s right, ad.com.
I could not recall if it was a matter of him simply not paying or not.
Div is a talented individual, I’ve read about him before.
Great example!
I’m sorry but just looking at their website I can not figure out what Media.net is doing
