Gurbaksh “G” Chahal – Secret Millionaire (FOX) in HD Episode. Part 1 of 5.

FOX Secret Millionaire, Gurbaksh Chahal goes undercover to San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. Part 1 of 5.

Gurbaksh Singh Chahal (born July 17, 1982) is an American entrepreneur, author and TV Personality. He was the Founder, Chairman & CEO of two advertising companies which were sold for over $340 million.

Chahal was born in the town of Tarn Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab, India to Avtar and Arjinder Chahal. He is of Punjabi-Sikh descent. In 1985, his parents received a visa for America through a lottery-based system in India. A year later, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 4 with the rest of his family and settled in San Jose, California. Gurbaksh is the youngest of four siblings.

On December 15, 1998, at the age of 16, he started his first venture, ClickAgents. ClickAgents was an advertising network focused on performance-based advertising. Two years later, on November 1, 2000, ValueClick announced it agreed to buy ClickAgents in a $40 million all-stock merger. Chahal had a three year non-compete agreement with ValueClick.

In January 12, 2004, Chahal formed BlueLithium another advertising network which was recognized as an innovator in the online advertising space in a Business 2.0 article.

In 2006, under Chahal’s leadership, BlueLithium was named Top Innovator by AlwaysOn.

On October 15, 2007 Yahoo! bought BlueLithium for $300 million in cash. He was 25 years old at the time. Chahal remained CEO of the company through the transition period. [6] Chahal is now working on his next start-up, gWallet, a site intended to allow users to find deals on merchandise they are looking for via the internet.

Chahal appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss his childhood and business journey. He also starred in one episode of the FOX philanthropic reality show Secret Millionaire, where he went undercover in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, California to give away at least $100,000 of his own money. He is shown donating $90,000, but has written that other donations (which raised the total above $100,000) were “left out on the editing room floor.”

    Dont give to charities, they exploit esp christian charities. They keep conditions for charity work like chanting christ hymns or expecting majority of them to become christians or force them to go to church for food. Instead open your own charity and do unconditional charity work then people start looking at western hemishpere in a different angle. The current one is tainted..WHat a shame?

    I am sure you visit this section Mr. “G” – I have read your book and worked a block from this block you rented. I now work a block from where you live. Correct, America is the place to make it, cause people pay for anything. FaceBook is one big joke, but the world want it. I only give credit to surgeons that save lives. Money might buy you everything, but can’t save your soul. You have made it, congratulation. Hope to meet you to say, good job in making your dream come to reality.

    For the last 3 months I have been taking care of an elderly Homeless woman,I started out by giving her cash. Than one morning I saw her on the sidewalk all weak and hungry,I got her some food.The next day I got her warm gloves, beanie hat,a coat and a new suitcase.
    My biggest concern is the weather is getting cold and she doesn’t like shelter because she had a bad experience. I would like to set her up at a HOTEL for the next 3 months BUT, I do not have that kind of funding.
    God Bless!
