Yes. CEO has very close friends who are already billionaires.
Andrew Cherng — Panda Express. Immigrated from China, opened a small restaurant in a mall food court, and built Panda Express into over 2,000 locations with $6.2 billion in annual revenue. Beyond business, he’s created tens of thousands of U.S. jobs and funded scholarships, hospitals, and community programs across the nation.
William Wang — Vizio. After surviving a plane crash, he built Vizio from a garage startup into one of America’s leading smart TV brands. In 2024, Walmart acquired Vizio for $2.3 billion, a company that brought affordable, high-quality technology into millions of American homes.

— Scale AI. The son of immigrant scientists, he left MIT at 19 to build Scale AI, now a core player in U.S. defense and technology. Following Meta’s 2025 investment, Scale AI’s valuation surpassed $29 billion, proving that innovation and vision still define success in America.
