Chris Gray
Chris Gray was born in the English village of Radlett, Hertfordshire in 1971.As the son of a heart physician and nurse, Chris was destined to be an employee for life.
After finishing high school,Chris came to Sydney as a backpacker and had a taste of the type of life he wanted to live. But he was so far in debt that the furthest he travelled was on a daytrip to the Blue Mountains the weekend before he left! He vowed to return but with time and money to enjoy what Australia had to offer.
Upon returning to England, Chris worked hard during the day and studied at night to become an accountant – all part of a five-year plan to get his Australian citizenship. After experiencing the freedom and independence that Australia had to offer,Chris struggled to live under a roof governed by his parents’ rules.He decided to find a place of his own and somehow worked out that buying a three-bedroom house was a more affordable option than a one-bedroom unit – that’s creative accounting for you!
Over the years Chris discovered how property could fund a lifestyle that he couldn’t afford on his salary alone.He isn’t shy about enjoying life and uses property as a tool to fund fast cars and lifestyle. In just nine years,Chris turned a $35,000 investment into a $3.5 million property portfolio and retired from full-time work at the age of 31.He is now a full-time ‘lifestyler’ and part-time property mentor, speaker and author.Chris is the CEO of Red,an independent education company that teaches everyone from schoolchildren through to CEOs how to create more wealth and ultimately more freedom and choice in their lives. Chris is also the author of Go For Your Life: How to turn your weekdays into weekends through property investing.
Other than property Chris’s other passions include hanging out with friends, holidaying, sailing and darting around in his red Ferrari.
