How Andres Pira Went From Homeless on the Beach to Real Estate Tycoon
He lived in a tropical paradise surrounded by coconut trees and white sand beaches. 20-year old Andres Pira seemed to be living a life most his age could only dream of. But sand doesn’t make a comfortable bed, and palm leaves don’t provide adequate shelter.
Pira was homeless. He slept on the beach using towels as a blanket and his clothes as a pillow. Alone in a foreign country, he didn’t speak the language and owed money to most of his friends. Starving and angry, Pira called one last friend back home in Sweden and begged for money. But to his chagrin, the friend sent a book instead — and it changed Pira's life.
Today, the 37-year-old is a real estate tycoon who develops some of the most luxurious resorts in the world. As a teenager, he was a high school dropout who didn’t think he would see his 20s. However, anything is possible when you find your “secret.”
