Who Is ADAM KHOO And How Much is His Net Worth
Napoleon Hill’s quote, “No man ever achieved worthwhile success who did not, at one time or the other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure,” rightly describes the life of Adam Khoo.
The Singaporean stock and FX trader didn’t have it smooth at the early years of his life as he struggled academically and was expelled from the primary school he attended. His near breakthrough came when he participated at the Super-Teen camp for a five-day residential program. It was there that Dr. Ernest Wong discovered him and brought out his potential.
Not long after, Khoo, who enjoyed reading just comics and nothing else, had the best result in his school for the GCE’ O’ Level examination and later became the first person from his secondary school who qualified for the top Junior College in Singapore.
Dr. Ernest’s teachings eventually paid off. It also brought out the motivational skills that made him make his first million and set the foundation for his successful career and authorship of many of his books and seminars.
Not surprisingly, at age 15, Khoo was abreast of Buffett’s investment techniques as he devoured Warren’s books. The formerly called ‘dumb kid and lazy student’ became a vast reader and learner. He attended training courses like Neuro-linguistic Programming.
At age 17, Khoo became a freelance motivational speaker to students who needed the academic breakthrough he just had. At 21, Khoo partnered with three of his friends to establish an event management company called Creatsoul Entertainment.
His business management prowess made his father, Vince Khoo, hand over Adcom (advertising agency) to him, which he ran successfully.
