Geboren: February 23, 1969 – Brooklyn, New York, United States
Daymond John is an entrepreneur, branding expert, and investor whose work centers on business, marketing, and startup growth. He founded the fashion brand FUBU, which has generated billions in sales, and became widely known as an investor on Shark Tank. His notable books include The Power of Broke and Rise and Grind.
Daymond John built his career from the edges of New York commerce into one of the most recognizable personal brands in American entrepreneurship. Born on February 23, 1969, in Brooklyn and raised largely in Hollis, Queens, he grew up in a household reshaped by financial strain after his parents divorced. After graduating from Bayside High School in 1986, he cycled through small ventures, worked as a waiter at Red Lobster, and learned to sew from his mother, Margot. That practical education led to the first real turning point of his life: selling handmade hats and, by 1992, cofounding FUBU with childhood friends. When banks would not finance the business, he and his mother mortgaged their home, and an early assist from LL Cool J helped carry the brand from neighborhood hustle to a global streetwear success.
