Ali, 25, became a billionaire by founding MicroOne, an AI company that pays domain experts like doctors and lawyers around $70 per hour to train models. His startup generated over $250 million in revenue within four years after his family won the U.S. green-card lottery.
This is the youngest Iranian billionaire in the world. He's only 25 years old. By the end of this video, I will show you how he became a billionaire from AI. Hey, my name is Ali and this is my story. Ali was born in Iran. When he was a kid, his parents won the US green card lottery. Millions of families apply. Less than 1% get it. My family was very lucky because Got the visa and came here to America, and immediately they got opportunities. So he started building startups. The first one failed, second one failed, third one failed, fourth one failed, and the fifth one worked because of AI. Ali built the company to find the experts to train AI. The experts make money and AI companies get better data. It's a win-win.
We have doctors, lawyers, and many other types of talent, training AI, making $70 an hour or more all around the world.
So far, his company MicroOne created tens of thousands of jobs globally.
This has exceeded my wildest expectations. I did not think we would grow this fast.
This genius idea became big with more than $250 million in revenue in just 4 years, and he became a billionaire at age 25.
But honestly, There's nothing special about me. I was here in America at the right time, right place, and worked incredibly hard to make it happen.
Iranians are some of the smartest and hardest working people. They just don't have the opportunity.
I could not have done this anywhere other than the United States. This is the country that gives opportunity to those that seek it, and I'm very grateful for that.
If everyone in Iran and the rest of the world had the same opportunity, we would have many billionaires, not just in San Francisco, but everywhere around the world. Thank you, man.
Thank you. Thank you all.
