Secret Millionaire - Gurbaksh Chahal
2008-12-13 6:49AM / 視頻 / 會員可以看

Fox has chosen technology entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal to be among the group of guests on the new Secret Millionaire. Gurbaksh Chahal, also known as "G," left high school at age 16 to form Click Agents, an internet advertising company, which he sold two years later for $40 million. In January 2004, Chahal launched BlueLithium, a company focused on the next generation in online advertising, and just over three years later, BlueLithium was sold to Yahoo! for $300 million. Now, at 26 years old, Chahal is set to debut his third company, gwallet.com, and has written a memoir, titled "The Dream," which was recently released.

Secret Millionaire is a dramatic new unscrīpted series that takes America's wealthiest individuals away from their lavish lifestyles, sprawling mansions and private planes and places them undercover into some of the most impoverished neighborhoods in America.

Challenged with living on minimum wage, the millionaires will immerse themselves in situations beyond their comprehension. They work with with community members and befriend those in need. Then they decide who of their new-found friends, neighbors or co-workers should ultimately receive their extraordinary gifts, at least $100,000 of their own money.

Previously, another Asian American DUB's President and Co-Founder Myles Kovacs and his wife Cynthia Kovacs wer on Secret Millionaire.

More about Gurbaksh Chahal

G was born in the town of Tarn Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab, India to Avtar and Arjinder Chahal. In 1985, his parents received a visa for America through a lottery-based system in India, and the following year, when he was four, the family settled in San Jose, California. His parents had arrived with only $25 to their name, and they struggled at menial jobs to make a future for their four children.

For the Chahal family, as for many immigrants, education was paramount, but G left high school at sixteen to form Click Agents, an Internet advertising company, which he sold two years later for $40 million.

In January 2004, he launched a second company, BlueLithium – the next generation in Internet advertising. The company was focused on data, optimization, and analytics and became a pioneer of behavīoral targeting. BlueLithium was named one of the top 100 private companies in America three years in a row by AlwaysOn, and in 2006, it received highest honor as Top Innovator of the Year. (Previous winners included Google, Skype, and Salesforce.com.) On September 4th, 2007, Yahoo! announced that it was acquiring BlueLithium for $300 million in cash.

G is living proof that no matter how humble one’s beginnings, there is truly no limit to what an individual can achieve.

After he completed his role from Yahoo, G signed up with the William Morris Agency.

In addition to being featured on the new prime-time network show The Secret Millionaire, Gurbaksh Chahal has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, FOX Business Network’s Cavuto, among others, and has been profiled in such publications as The New York Times, Entrepreneur magazine, and The San Francisco Chronicle. He completed his memoir, “The Dream” was released globally on October 23rd, 2008 by Palgrave Macmillan. G is also currently developing several other television shows.
