Harv Eker is the son of European immigrants who came to North
America with only thirty dollars to their name. He grew up
in Toronto, but spent most of his adult years in the United
States.
Money was scarce throughout his childhood, so at thirteen,

scooped ice cream, sold novelties at fairs, and suntan lotions
at the beach. After a year at York University, he decided
