Over the years, he has built an empire that includes ownership of more than 50 companies and a real estate portfolio of 225 properties.

He is known as a true powerhouse in the entrepreneurial world, having launched over 100 businesses and made his first million by the age of 19. Abraham takes us through the full journey, from a teenager with a bold idea to a business owner operating across multiple industries. His background spans trendy businesses like axe throwing and escape rooms as well as serious investments in real estate, and he explains how he decides what to buy, what to build from scratch, and when to walk away.
