Early life


Vaynerchuk was born in Babruysk in the Soviet Union (today part of Belarus),[9] and immigrated to New York City in the United States in 1978 at the age of three.[5] He is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.[13] Growing up, Vaynerchuk lived in New York City's Queens borough and later moved to Edison, New Jersey.[14][15] At age 14, he joined his family's retail-wine business. After his family moved, he graduated from North Hunterdon High School.[16] In 1998, Vaynerchuk graduated with a bachelor's degree in management science from Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts.[17]

Vaynerchuk co-founded restaurant-reservation app, Resy, which was acquired by American Express in 2019.[7] He is also a co-founder of winery Empathy Wines, which was acquired by Constellation Brands in 2020.[18][19] Vaynerchuk is also the creator, founder and artist behind VeeFriends, the non-fungible token series.[20]


Wine Library


After graduating from college in 1998, Vaynerchuk took charge of his father's liquor store, Shopper's Discount Liquors. He renamed the store Wine Library, launched sales online, and in 2006 started Wine Library TV, a daily webcast on YouTube covering wine.[21] He grew the business from $3 million a year to $60 million a year.[22] In August 2011, Vaynerchuk stepped away from the wine business to build VaynerMedia, a digital ad agency.[21][23]

YouTube shows and videos


Vaynerchuk hosted a video blog on YouTube called Wine Library TV (WLTV or The Thunder Show) from 2006 to 2011, featuring wine reviews, tastings, and wine advice.

In 2014, Vaynerchuk launched The #AskGaryVee Show on YouTube in which he responds to questions from Twitter and Instagram.[39] The questions are mostly on entrepreneurship, family and business topics. The show inspired Vaynerchuk's fourth book, AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness[40] which reached The New York Times Best Seller list.[41]

DailyVee is a daily, video-documentary series on YouTube hosted by Vaynerchuk. Started in 2015, he records interviews with other businessmen and broadcasts investor meetings and strategy sessions at VaynerMedia.[10][42]
