Gurbaksh Singh Chahal (born July 17, 1982) is an American entrepreneur, author and TV Personality. He was the Founder, Chairman & CEO of two advertising companies which were sold for over $340 million.

Chahal was born in the town of Tarn Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab, India to Avtar and Arjinder Chahal. He is of Punjabi-Sikh descent. In 1985, his parents received a visa for America through a lottery-based system in India. A year later, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 4 with the rest of his family and settled in San Jose, California. Gurbaksh is the youngest of four siblings.

On December 15, 1998, at the age of 16, he started his first venture, ClickAgents. ClickAgents was an advertising network focused on performance-based advertising. Two years later, on November 1, 2000, ValueClick announced it agreed to buy ClickAgents in a $40 million all-stock merger. Chahal had a three year non-compete agreement with ValueClick.

In January 12, 2004, Chahal formed BlueLithium another advertising network which was recognized as an innovator in the online advertising space in a Business 2.0 article.

In 2006, under Chahal's leadership, BlueLithium was named Top Innovator by AlwaysOn.

On October 15, 2007 Yahoo! bought BlueLithium for $300 million in cash. He was 25 years old at the time. Chahal remained CEO of the company through the transition period. [6] Chahal is now working on his next start-up, gWallet, a site intended to allow users to find deals on merchandise they are looking for via the internet.

Chahal appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss his childhood and business journey. He also starred in one episode of the FOX philanthropic reality show Secret Millionaire, where he went undercover in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, California to give away at least $100,000 of his own money. He is shown donating $90,000, but has written that other donations (which raised the total above $100,000) were "left out on the editing room floor."

Despite everything he has, he still manages to stay humble. I think that's the best quality any human can posses.

I'm sure if you gave him a few weeks in that state that $98 will become thousands!

@crazyheadphonez Be my secret millionaire!!! =D

[crazyheadphonez]

When I was 17 I use to look up to this guy. Now I'm 22 and I have my own company in New York City and I make $30,000 to $50,000 a month. When I was 17 I made $1,200.00 a month. Mr. Chahal's success motivated me to work hard and live a better life. I don't even have a college degree but I hire college graduates to work for me. I would love to meet Mr.Chahal one day and thank him for changing my life. GOD BLESS HIM!

So what did he do for day 1? Asked a guy for directions and walked around a bit. And then he overspent on his shopping. This EP sucks, no doubt this guy has made himself, but he just comes across as an Ass. I watched one on tv this morning with a guy and his son who went to Imperial Beach, those guys were far above this ep.

What if he's doing this so ppl know him?? Think about it, he is a millionaire, he got so much, he can get so much, but how many of us knew him. Money don't bring respect like that. Most of us dont like rich ppl, we envy them. He's giving out 100g but maybe he gave 1M to Fox to do this?? Not being jealous, just don't believe everything I see on TV. Specially on FOX. Definitely on FOX.
