Grant Cardone

What Grant Cardone does

Grant Cardone operates a privately-held, founder-owned business training and personal-brand enterprise built around the 10X philosophy of sales, business growth, real estate investing, and wealth creation. The legal entity, Cardone Training Technologies, Inc. (CTTI), was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Aventura, Florida. The company owns and operates more than seven subsidiaries, including Cardone University (online sales training platform with 1,500+ video segments and 8,000+ interactive video modules), Cardone On Demand (on-demand video training), Cardone Capital (a private equity real estate firm managing $5B+ in multifamily assets and having raised $1.9B+ in equity via crowdfunding), Cardone Ventures (business consulting including the 10X360 program), and 10X Studios (media production). A non-profit arm, the Grant Cardone Foundation, operates separately for youth financial literacy.

The business generates revenue across six primary streams: recurring digital training subscriptions (Cardone University and On Demand), live event ticket sales (10X Business Summit, Real Estate Summit, Capital Raising Workshop, 10X Growth Conference, 10X Wealth Conference), book royalties from 11 New York Times bestselling titles, managed real estate fund fees via Cardone Capital, premium coaching programs (10X Mentor Program, 10X Accelerator, 10X360), and enterprise consulting targeting Forbes 100 companies. Pricing structures range from monthly subscriptions to multi-year contracts with strict no-refund policies on digital products. The company serves over 850,000 individuals, businesses, and Forbes 100 enterprise clients globally, with a 16M+ social media following serving as the primary organic distribution channel alongside podcasts (Cardone Zone), free ebooks, and email newsletters. The company has never raised external institutional funding, remaining entirely bootstrapped under individual founder ownership.
