Early Life: From the Soviet Union to USA

Gary only spent three years in his birthplace before his parents – of unknown identities and professions – decided to flee the country in search of freedom and a better life, and so moved to the USA in 1978, initially to a studio-apartment in Queens, New York City. The family is known to have had eight members aside from Gary at the time, though no more specifics about his siblings are available. After three years in this location, his family moved the short distance to Edison in New Jersey, where Gary during his childhood had a lemonade stand, at which he earned thousands of dollars from also trading baseball cards on weekends. Thus, it’s easy to conclude that Gary always had an interest in becoming an entrepreneur, since he started at a very early age. When he was 14 years of age, he also became involved in his family’s retail-wine business. As for his education, he attended North Hunterdon High School, from where matriculated in 1993, then furthered his education by attending Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts, from where he graduated in 1998 with a BA degree in an unspecified field.

Career: His Wine Library

After his college graduation, Gary was awarded day-to-day control of the family’s Shopper’s Discount Liquors store in Springfield, New Jersey by his father. He took this opportunity and decided to refresh the business and targeted more specific customer requirements, renaming it Wine Library, launching an on-line shop, and even started Wine Library TV in 2006, which is a daily webcast about wine. With clever use of e-commerce and adaptive pricing, by 2005 Gary had already managed to grow the business from making $3 million a year to $60 million a year. However, Gary had wider horizons, and August 2011 stepped down from this wine to create VaynerMedia, a digital ad agency that he had co-founded with his brother, AJ Vaynerchuk in 2009. Along with his brother, he now owns VaynerMedia, a company that provides social media and strategic advice to various Fortune 500 companies, including General Electric, Ahneuser-Busch, PepsiCo and Mondelez. With over 600 employees in 2016, the company’s yearly revenue was over $100 million, meanwhile also partnering with Vimeo to create connections between digital content filmmakers and various brands.

His Second Company

It was reported by The Wall Street Journal in 2017 that Gary has launched The Gallery, a company that encompasses PureWow after it was acquired by Gary and RSE Ventures, as well as numerous other creative-content and media properties. PureWow’s CEO was kept in the position, and now serves as the CEO of The Gallery. Gary’s two companies now function in synergy, mutually raising profit for one another thanks to the unique services that one provides and the other requires.

His second book entitled “The Thank You Economy” was released in 2011, subsequently reaching #2 on the New York Times hardcover advice bestseller list. “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World” is the name of Gary’s third book, which came out in 2013 through the publisher Harper Collins. His fourth book is entitled “Ask Gary Vee: One Entrepreneur’s Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness”, also published by Harper Collins, in March 2016. His fifth and thus far latest book was published in March 2018, entitled “Getting It: Your Social Media Guide: Learn how to build your personal brand.”

He dated his wife Lizzie for a while before they married on 13 November 2004, and they now have a daughter named Misha Eva Vaynerchuk born in 2009, and a son, Xander Avi Vaynerchuk, who was born in 2012.
