  • The Gold Man of Dubai-The Billionaire Path
    Aug 14 2025

    In this episode, Anthony sits down with Raj, better known as Dubai’s Gold Man, for an unfiltered conversation about ambition, risk, and building a life on your own terms.

    Raj’s journey starts in India, where he left the comfort of a multimillionaire family at just 17 to find independence in Australia. From delivering pizzas to becoming the youngest Pizza Hut franchise owner in the country, his early hustle set the tone for everything that followed.

    When rising taxes and safety concerns pushed him to look for new horizons, Raj chose Dubai — a city where speed, opportunity, and vision meet. Today, he’s running two thriving brands:

    • Lorenzetti – the world’s first luxury fashion line with real gold embedded in the clothing.
    • Temt – a premium wellness brand producing high-quality hygiene products for men and women.

    We dive into:

    • Why leaving comfort can be the best decision of your life.
    • The mindset difference between becoming a millionaire and a billionaire.
    • How to spot real opportunities in competitive markets.
    • The truth about life, safety, and business in Dubai.
