A Roofing Prodigy Makes His First Million | Blue Collar Millionaire | CNBC Prime
He provided value with his job, that is why he is successful.
“He’s not the flashy type”. Shows off Rolex and other jewelry and expensive items.
@Chad Haubrich His sales were 20 mil. Did it ever say what his actual profit was?
I’d be flexin to if I had money. Ur just jelly.
He’s humble and that Rolex is small compared to other millionaires
He’s not the flashy type- puts up metal flashing hiiiioooooo ?
When you’re a Millionaire,Rolexs really aren’t a big deal,there are a million other watches that cost more money,that being said perfectionist and top dog he probably really appreciates the ruggedness and reliability of a Rolex
My favorite one in this series so far.
He is 26. He setup shop in 2009 which means he was 15 or 16. And he’s a sales person to a roofing company before that. He was also in high school before he became a salesperson. That doesn’t add up at all does it
Reminds me of the “This 20 year old is worth 500 million dollars!”
“So, I inherited the company from parents . . .”
Got to love those click baits
Look bro, he was putting roofs on houses before you were born kiddo.
Next: Billionaire stand-up comedian/president
@Ebenezer Getachew Melesse ???? CNBCgate ???
What you’re assuming is that these episodes are filmed in the last year. If you check the time line of the other episodes as well as the status of the companies featured, you would realize that these are all filmed in 2016-2017
Real Humble ? and hard working
That guy works hard
I can’t trust anyone who uses ryobi.
DeWalt playa ?
My productivity output is superior regardless of tools. Its not what you use but how you use it and Ive used it all. Ryobi is a good tool brand. Never had a problem and they have shears to cut the metal.
Lmao. That’s a Makita
I have made lots of money with my Makitas. Don’t use them much anymore been welding the last 7 years but they still work great.

He didn’t make a million as a roofer, he made it as a business owner. It’s a pretty big distinction.
Karg45 – it is CLEAR you have ZERO business knowledge or experience.
Yu clouds start a business tomorrow and still be blue collar my dude.
Exactly, I wouldn’t call ANY business owner ‘blue collar’.
@Reginald Holt but where did his millions come from? Certainly wasn’t a roofers hourly pay. He made millions from being a business owner.
He’s both a roofer and a business owner. When he started he had 2 employees. You think he wasn’t doing hands on work? And he still is now.
OK so a sales rep goes to a house where the crew didn’t show up, reads an insulation manual and does the whole job by himself, with no training, no experience, no tools (I guess if the crew didn’t showed up, neither did the tools), no licence, no insurance, no idea of what he was doing. And the result is marvelous!
Please don’t make me laugh, I just had dinner.
sick of liberals Or what he had to do to get “5000% gainz in just one year” fishy. Plant.
@Michael MahoneyWhy are there thousands of roofing companies with thousands of drug addict and alcoholic workers? Hehe
As you slave away at your 9-5 this guy is a multimillionaire half your age.
Such a sour sad old man
@moncorp1 Inc so you could go up on a roof with absolutely no experience.. do all your flashings, valleys, etc, no problemo? it’s not rocket science but it does take experience..
2 mins and 30 seconds in and this seems more like an advertisement
its because his prodigy is he can ‘sell’ he’s a sales guy that roofed. pushing product is money
smart guy got himself a Hispanic wife.
Ugliest chairs i have ever seen. I need to wash my eyes after seeing those chairs
Fernando Espinosa i agree it is cool but not my taste & especially 4 the price
They’re cool asf im sorry you can’t see why
There’s a lot of ugly stuff in TX. I’ve lived there.
Yemi Fatoki ??
Haters gonna hate
Lmao when his own house doesn’t even have a metal roof
Area559Duh what did you drive?
It is a metal roof. lol Interlock Shake roof.
@Area559Duh A more comparable example would be the owner of a Mercedes dealership owning a BMW…
@Jshift4Lo Only ferrous materials rust. Metal is a broad word of many different elements.
Don’t stay dry with your own supply
Why do people always have to hate?? Hard work pays off. Good on you Bro. #Motivation
Because they are Jelly. Thats main reason they like high tax politicians. Someone maked it? Lets take thier money with democratic vote.
Because alot of businesses cut corners and salesman lie to people’s face.
Well said
It’s not hate. His story just does not add up.
Thanks bro!
PRODIGY: a person who does his/her job.
Welcome to 2020.
Right? Great comment. I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing.
tHiS wAs FiLmEd iN 2o17
This was filmed in 2017
I soliti americani esaltati
How to be a hater 101
His dad (stepdad) taught him something immeasurable; Work ethic!!
The last word that comes to mind when somebody buys a Mercedes M63 AMG, a $2800 custom chair, and a half a million $ house for his wife, is the word “FRUGAL”.
Exactly, almost sounds like the next Mark Cuban…
my house is more than a half million yet is only 1000 sq feet… welcome to california lol.
To his credit, his everyday driving seems to be toya.
yeah…thats frugal considering you’re grossing $70M. All that stuff he showed was still under a mil. Very modest for someone making that much.
A millionaire and using ryobi tools! Don’t think so.
“Que pasa fellas “
Lol
1:06
As soon as I heard him say that I knew he is a jagoff.
Que pasta amigos
JC Zoto hola y’all
Que pasa fellas. How did he make his millions? Cheap labor…
@icefishingoutdoors YEA, I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THE GUY, I KNOW HOW TOUGH SALES CAN BE, ESPECIALLY IN OUTSIDE HOME IMPROVEMENT.
What part did I miss that his work is cheap labor? I smell jealousy just congrat the guy for employing 100’s of people with work to support there familys
This guy is a show, my family has been in roofing for over 40 yrs. He probably only got on a roof to do this tv show, and dressed like that a LMFAO! He’s probably working for his family member and they didn’t want to be on tv, my opinion though. Another thing throwing me off is his look, dressed like that to get on a 105 degree +or – in summer heat in TEXAS gimme a break. All TV for ya. My opinion though.
