This doesn't mean that everyone agrees with him or enjoys hearing him speak, but he does have a significant following. Shapiro is good at starting conversations that people want to get involved with. He seems to draw people out from all sides of an issue to share their views and give their rationale. This is a rare talent that not many possess as well as Shapiro.

He has a way with words

Shapiro has developed an intellectual air over the years that has captured the attention of both those who agree with his outspoken views and those who disagree. Perhaps it's the lawyer coming out in him. He knows his facts and how to present them to friend and foe. He puts up a good argument and he knows how to engage others to inspire them to think about their beliefs and why they think the way that they do. He knows how to get your attention and hold it.

Building the foundation

Shapiro is a native Los Angelinian from a Jewish family that immigrated to the United States from Russia. Ben was born in L.A. and showed an inclination towards academics from an early age on, graduating from Yeshiva University High School at age 16. He earned his four-year degree in political science from UCLA in 2004, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, then went on to earn his degree from Harvard Law School graduating cum laude in 2007.

Ben started his professional career before he was legally an adult

He was still in school at UCLA at the age of 17 when he broke a record by becoming the youngest columnist with national syndication in the nation. By the time he turned 21, he was already the author of two books with relevant and timely political content. His fourth book was published by HarperCollins in 2011. A year later Shapiro was hired at Breitbart News, for which he is the best known, as their editor at large. He became a David Horowitz Freedom Center fellow the year before.

He founded his own broadcast

The Daily Wire was launched in September of 2015 with Shapiro appointing himself as editor in chief in addition to his role as its online podcast host. He officially resigned his position with Breitbart in 2016. Analysts estimate that Ben's net worth has been steadily increasing in the last few years. He's reported to own a collection of four luxury cars with a total value of $580,000, a single home that is valued at $970,000. His annual income is $1 million.

So where did Ben Shapio make his fortune?

Shapiro has been working as a professional in his chosen career since he was a young 17 years of age. He's been diligent in shaping the successful career that he now enjoys with his dedication and hard work.

Memorable Ben Shapiro Quotes

  • "Freedom of speech and thought matters, especially when it is speech and thought with which we disagree. The moment the majority decides to destroy people for engaging in thought it dislikes, thought crime becomes a reality."
  • "Turning a blind eye to evil, however, doesn’t make it disappear. It allows it to grow. And those who allow evil to grow in order to protect their own convenience will be held accountable for the end results of the evil they facilitate.”
  • "When facts become secondary to emotion, truth dies. And a society that doesn’t value truth cannot survive."
  • "If you sacrifice your principles for victory, you don't end up with victory and you don't end up with principles."
  • "Facts don't care about your feelings."
