Introduction

Ben Mallah (birth name – Benjamin Mallah) is an American entrepreneur and real estate mogul who’s made a fortune from managing Equity Management.

Biography

Mallah was born on October 29, 1965, in the USA. He was raised in the projects of Rockaway Queens, New York.

He was raised poor, surrounded by criminals, in a shitbox bungalow, according to his words.

Deprivation made Benjamin want to grow up to live exactly the opposite. He said:

”When I was a kid, I always wanted to make a lot of money.”

At age 14, Ben quit school. Mallah started to work as a messenger on Wall Street. At age 17, Ben enlisted in the US Army.

He started out his real estate career by picking up garbage. Due to his high work ethic, Benjamin was promoted to be in charge of several buildings.

In January 1990, Mallah started his real estate company, Equity Management Partners Inc.

One of his first deals was a house worth $27,500 that Benjamin bought with the money he got from selling a few cars. Ben confessed in a later interview:

”I started out by buying boarded up crack houses in Oakland, Calif. and fixing them up with less than reputable people.”

About 30 years later, Mallah has built up a real estate empire worth over $220,000,000.

At the end of 2013, his doctor said he would be lucky to live another five years maintaining his current lifestyle.

The doctor’s news made Benjamin decide to sell off his real estate portfolio and spend the rest of his days with his family. He stated:

”I have five years left to live and I want to spend it with my family.”

Mallah went on to say:

”Money, power, respect…all mean nothing if you are unable to enjoy them with the ones you love.”

Ben later added:

”For $100,000,000 you get $174,815,000 worth of assets.”

A YouTube video documentary series, titled ”Life For Sale,” which features his real estate dealings, was released by Danny Jones, the founder of Koncrete.
