Who Is the RICHEST Restaurateur in the World?

We could give a short answer to the question of who is the RICHEST restaurateur in the world, but this entrepreneur is so much more than that… 

This business mogul is a revolutionary in the gaming and entertainment industries…

This billionaire sports fan has ties to the National Basketball Association…

More importantly, this philanthropist has made considerable contributions to charity… 

Any Guesses Yet?

With a reported net worth of over $8 billion, the richest restaurateur is past 10X Growth Conference guest… Tilman Fertitta! 

Fertitta is the CEO of the massive Landry’s restaurant empire, which spans 600 locations across 36 states and 16 countries. The Golden Nugget Casinos and Hotels are also an integral part of Tilman’s asset portfolio. 

Additionally, Fertitta became the sole owner of the Houston Rockets after purchasing the team for $2.2 billion in 2019. 

While all of this is impressive, to say the least, the restaurant giant shared at 10X Growth Con 2022 that his road to the top wasn’t the easiest ride.

The “Richest Restaurateur” Dropped Out and Couldn’t Hold Down a Job…

When Tilman Fertitta sat down with Grant, the story of “how he made it” was definitely one everyone was interested to hear. However, it wasn’t exactly what everyone expected.

During the interview, the business mogul shared his difficulties with both traditional education and staying employed…

Fertitta dropped out of business school after three years and was fired — more than once. 

“I was fired from my first four jobs,” Tilman Fertitta revealed backstage at 10X Growth Con. “So, I thought if I was going to keep a job, I’d have to go into business for myself.”

Of course, Tilman looked back on all that with a laugh and further went on to say…

“It’s better to be a chairman than it is to be a student.” 

Based on his track record, that advice may hold some water. 

To conclude, you may or may not know the “Richest Restaurateur in the World” by name… 

But you’ve likely been to one of his restaurants, stayed at one of his hotels, or seen his team playing basketball. 

That is someone whose power speaks for itself…

And that is the caliber of speakers we bring to the stage at the 10X Growth Conference.
