He turned a liquor store into a talking-head empire. Gary Vaynerchuk built his name shouting about wine on early YouTube, then pivoted that energy into VaynerMedia - where he sells other brands the social-media playbook he road-tested on himself.

Born Gennady Alexandrovich Vaynerchuk on November 14, 1975, he started by expanding his family's wine business and made his mark as a wine critic in the early internet era. The liquor-store roots gave way to something bigger: he co-founded VaynerX, the New York communications company he chairs, and runs its subsidiary VaynerMedia as CEO. Along the way he co-founded Resy, the restaurant reservation software company, and Empathy Wines. Now he's an author, speaker, and internet personality - Gary Vee to millions - selling the doctrine of hustle and attention in the digital age.
