Shahid Khan: The American Dream Personified
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 янв 2015
- On his first night in America, Shahid Khan washed dishes at the YMCA in Urbana, IL, where he earned more than 99 percent of individuals would have in his native Pakistan. Today, as owner of the 14th-largest automotive supplier in the U.S. and the first non-white owner of an NFL team, he has achieved his version of the American dream. In this conversation with EY's Kim Simios, Khan discusses the secrets behind his entrepreneurial success.

He is so humble. The best part is the last : "I am average person, if I can do it, you can do it "too.
dont ever buy into the "humility " of a powerful man (in any field.....but at-least he seems to be trying). dont get e wrong, i respect the guy a lot.
@@zibtihaj3213 he’s right tho. A few years ago I was on the verge of flunking school and now I attend one of the best schools in the entire nation. I’m on the verge of landing a 6 figure+ salary too. I’m no different than you are man. It’s definitely possible.
I respect this man so much! He is truly a self made man.
Self-made? Not really. His father funded his life.
@@WardenOfTerra even bezos’s father funded him 200K what’s your point?
@@WardenOfTerra You mean he did that for his son Tony?
@@WardenOfTerranot really don't be jealous you fool when he came here he only had 500 bucks that's it
@@WardenOfTerra Yeah mate his father funded his whole life with 500 bucks
Some Pakistanis are complaining that Shahid khan have never helped the Pakistan but that is his choice people.
His success should remain as a big inspiration for Pakistanis.
Agreed
I am a Pakistani and I think Shahid Khan got everything from America and he should do everything for America not Pakistan, if he didnt moved to America, he still would be washing dishes in some Pakistani hotel.
If he does something for Pakistan or any other country, that would be his goodness but he isn't entitled to do so
@@dilkhozaimarwat3479 agreed to you as a Pakistani

یہ سچ ہے کہ پاکستان کی سرکار کرپٹ ہے اور احسان فراموش ہے
لیکن شاہد خان آج بھی برتن دھو رہا ہوتا ؟
Really man? What he heck are you smoking lately? Are Pakistani engineers doing dishes in restaurants? You've projected your reaction to a totally another extreme.
A more appropriate statement would be: "if he was still in Pakistan probably he may have not grown into a billionaire" This would suffice.
Not all Pakistani engineers are doing dishes and riding donkeys. Stop with this poop mentality
My dad used to work for him, says, He haven't seen anybody more down to earth than him.
Very hard working dude, 2 Thumbs up
Really?

man.,. i like this guy.. humble..
@Galaxy lol
Happy to see a Pakistani at an exalted place in USA. Hats off for his hard work and achievements. Stay blessed
He's not Pakistani. He's never done anything for Pakistan, and essentially has no real links there
@@anneeq008 his entire origins are from there mate, he himself was born there, then migrated. I like how you like to claim him as an american to an very succesful billionaire, but if it was any other person from Pakistan who just lived a normal life, you would run up to say "well, he's pakistani but also he holds US citizenship", he is a pakistani-american, you can't change the fact that originally, he and his family are from Pakistan Lol.
@@anneeq008 pakistan is failed state. It never progresses. Why the heck anyone should waste his money on a failed state.
From a Pakistani
@@anneeq008 jealous Randian

so calm n humble person with a great story... such an inspiration for youngsters...
I could tell when he started talking that he was from Lahore. PURE CLASS!
Great story narrated by Shahid Khan. Truly an inspiration to the age old adage 'There is no short cut to success'. The harder you work the luckier you become.
I feel prouder every day as a Pakistani when I watch people like him. They're very few but they are an inspiration. You can either sit back and complain how the world doesn't treat you or your kind right but the truth is that when you work hard and smart, it pays. Stay blessed
What a man he is! Such a humble tone with billion dollars smile on his face. Class!
he is so humble which is.evident from his body language
When they went over his wealth in the beginning he looked very uncomfortable. I would love to pick at his brain. His son Tony is also a class act.
HATS OFF,,LOVE YOU BROTHER SHAHID,
Stay Blessed Disease Free Healthy Life forever
I'm an Indian, and I have massive respect for this guy. He truly is the American Dream personified
A lot of struggle , A lot of hard work. Mr. Shahid Khan,s life is full of inspiration. He is a symbol of love and friendship. May Allah bless his life with health , peace and happiness.
Sure, There is alot of snow in Northen Pakistan .I am from Mansehra KPK Pakistan. Now in England for 40 yrs.
Arif Tanoli same as me brother and I've lived in London Walthamstow for some 40 years and INSHAH ALLAH GONNA MOVE TO BARKING NEXT WEEK
That was sarcasm.

I,m also PASHTUN from waziristan sanga ye mashra 🥰🥰🥰
We are blessed with hard work and dreams as Pakistani .We are achiever .I am proud of you sir as overseas Pakistani in uk.
Unfortunately, the most talented people of Pakistan are out of the country because they do not have such a platform where they accomplish their dreams. Majority of Pakistanis have a leading charisma in most of the fields of life. However as we say in our language "Tasha Jeeba ta mi dushman ye" (O my empty pocket! you are the killer of my all dreams!)
He is a man of inspiration for those who wish to achieve their dreams!
Shahid sahib you are a very humble person . May Allah pak shower his blessings upon you. Ameen

I saw this interview 2017 in this year I visited Texas for my first time. I still watch the interview today! From Zuerich, Switzerland.
Some indians are saying that he’s not a Pakistani! Guys listen just for a second. Me as a american born Pakistani . I still call my self a proud Pakistani too. Even though in america 70% Pakistanis are having a good post and my father is a dentist too and hats off to this guy.
Love from Pakistan bro and ignore these bastards 😊🇵🇰❤️
@@talhahussain3132 Says a Bhikari bastard...🤭
Respect khan sb from pakistan..We proud of you stay blessed..
Proud of this guy. did it the right way: Industrialist with slow and steady growth. No BS hedge funds, No ponzi schemes, No pump and dumb biotech stocks, etc. Just hard work and persistence. I salute you Khan Bhai.
This is a billionaire who is worthy of running for president.

Worthy but can’t, wasn’t born in America.
ExtremeFan18 the law must be changed, it must be more democratical, otherwise He will take all his money back to Beautiful Pakistan 😉
@@sarfrazashraf5912 He wont cuz pakistan gave him nothing everything he earned was in the US. I bet he doesn't even visit Pakistan.
Jnxzify actually he just met the new Leader of the islamic republic of Pakistan’s primeminister Imran Khan Also knowns as World champion In Cricket.
They were talking about investing billions In Pakistan.
Because Shahid is a patriot too👍
Real humble guy total respect given to him
Great source of inspiration for many of us,down to earth person and has given a hope to everyone!!!!!! Stay blessed
A wonderful Pakistani genius and hard working man..🇵🇰 lot of respect for you and wish you best of luck
What a man what a man what a Pakistani Man
Very nice and humble person, i served him during his Pakistan visit. ( Security duty)
He is not Pakistani he was Pakistani
Abdul Khan Assalamu alaikum, I saw a interview a special on him from Sports Illustrated on You Tube just to get his day started he does Yoga, in all of this where does he remember Allah, no Salaat (Namaz) having zikr remembrance of (GOD) without having Prayers without having Allah in life in general this could all come to a end any way I leave that in Allah's hand I am happy for this man his success but not having Allah in life what is all of this, he is too much westernized, that is what this is.
Pakistani tha ab nahi hai.
@John Hawkes judgemental is a part of human nature I am not being Judgemental of where he is from or the way he looks.
No doubt Shahid Bai is a big inspiration for me as an entrepreneur and successful businessman
I pray you become the largest Auto Supplier and your wealth increase to 70 billion. You are awesome Shahid Khan. A great inspiration to many.
Not $70 b it's $7 b
Sir nothin but respect from a young Pakistani .. u're such an inspiration :)
There are so many Talented ppls in our country, Shahid Khan is our Proud.
Very talented man. He start from zero n touching the heights right now....
Shahid khan is a great man😍😍
He is a humble and great business leader.
Shahid Khan has done well for himself and America, but what Imran Khan has done for Pakistan, nobody can match, except For Mr M. A. Jinnah, and Allama Iqbal. May God bless our Heroes.
Sultan Mahmood Alvi Imrankhan did nothing but until now besides the World Cup, so please be quiet until he really do something...
Faisal Latif: It is very unfortunate that you are unable to see Imran Khan's contributions to Cricket, building state of the art cancer hospitals and a World class Namal College in Mianwali, which is affiliated with the University of Bradford, UK. In my view, Imran Khan's greatest achievement has been to expose the deeply-entrenched corruption mafias of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. Hopefully, these guunda mafias will be eradicated from our country in the next few months. He has also motivated the youths of Pakistan to take interest in politics and get involved in helping to build the country. May God bless Pakistan and Imran Khan. This guy Shahid Khan has done nothing for the mother country, except growing his personal empire in a foreign country. Jungle mein mor naacha, kisi ne na dekha....
Yes imran khan will be remembered and people will cry for him. This guy will just be remembered as a rich guy from pakistan. Cannot compare the two.
Thank you my friend for telling the truth.
Sultan Mahmood Alvi ap ny thek kaha..In Sha Allah ab awaam ko nazr ayega aur tarekh yad rakhega usy
Gets 500 bucks from father, and none of the connections.
Trump got a million dollars and a network of real estate development experience.
Who is worth more money?
Khan is a republican buddy and donated to trump. Khan is proof that we have no class system

@Pandora X I've met people who have lived in America for 30 plus years yet they still talk with a heavy accent.
Shad Khan really molded himself as a true American.

great interviewer
Shahid Khan makes Pakistanis proud of, as a great role Model for educated , hard working immigrants.
All I could see is that it was his fate, destiny. When God chooses you to achieve or acquire something then every path and opportunity starts opening up for you. He said it so right that it was his destiny.
Khud kuch na karna
Imran Khan as Prime Minister and Shahid Khan as President of Pakistan. A team of Honesty and no greediness in them. The best thing that can happen the worlds safety and successfull future of Pakistan.
Beginning of the video: sips from the glass
End of the video: grabs the glass and realises it was whiskey
Wonderful and fun personality

Guess what I had $500 when I got here and I was 18! God I love this country but I love Pakistan as well!
Humble guy...
Good achievement stay blessed

Hard work pays off
So much respect from pakistan❤❤
OMG, A rich person admitting he was lucky??? Most say hard work or working smart crap, and I hate it when I hear that as if you could be that rich to BS! So far he is the only rich person who I think deserves good things! Frank Loyed Wright is an inspiration to me too and now Shad as well.
What a sad limited life view
@Rich 91 only if i could time travel...
There r people working about 10 hours a day..... That's called hardwork. Who r they??? They r not even middle-class. They r laborers. It has nothing to do with hard work..... It's all destiny and fate.
Love and respect form Pakistan.
Proud of Pakistan 👍❤️ Shahid khan
Allah pa inny aur kamiyab kry ameen
What hard work can achieve Allah bless you
Abdul Qayyum this person believes men creates his own destiny this is kufr because the belief of Islam is your destiny good or bad is all in allaah hands and it is allaah who has already written your destiny
Excellent interview
I impress ur interview
Great man..
Lovely to watch Shahid bhai .My Request to you please dont back pakistan.
Love from Lahore.😍
Shahid Khan has got great achievement but still something is missing shahid needs to listen to this interview again and see were he made a mistake.
No doubt about it America is great country and you get great opportunities to do things successfully.
What do you think is missing?
You are great sir
Those days were lucky for immigrants because they had demand in these countries and beside were easy to servive .but now immigrants are facing lot of problem .
On the other hand, I appreciate of him. He has done good job in his life.
work aholic and never give up
Nice man great story
Very Strange About His " Snow In Pakistan " Statement ....
Pakistan Has World's Second Highest Mountain Peak Alongwith 7 Other Highest Peaks Which Are Covered With Show Throughout The Year PLUS Northern Areas Of Pakistan, Kashmir Valley Etc Etc Where Roads Are Blocked Because Of Very Heavy Snow During Winter Season....Also In Quetta Which Has Worst Snow In Winter...
That shows that destiny can bring u money but not the wisdom or simple general knowledge
Absolutely Right....
He was 16 and millions of pakistani havr never seen snow. And in 67 when he was 16, ppl didnt knew what snow fall was. Chill
I Do Agree...
may be he wanted to say in english he was not familier to the word snow but he knew Baraf in urdu ;-)
The Exalted One.
What a guy
