“I’m worth about $3 billion” What Happens When You DON’T Sell Your Business

What happens when you don’t sell your company and keep growing it for decades? 

For Oscar, it means you become a billionaire.

Oscar bought a company every six weeks for 20 years and now his business is worth about $50 billion. Yet, he still wears $15 t-shirts and lives by the values that helped him achieve success.

In this episode, he shares how he became a billionaire while always putting family and faith first. He discusses his humble beginnings, the influence of his father, and how he’s now passing on his wealth through a generational trust. From managing a $3 billion stake in his company to owning 300 classic cars and a $49 million private jet, Oscar’s story offers a glimpse into life after massive success—without ever sacrificing who he is.
