The Journey
From $62 and a one-way ticket to Wall Street.
Benjamin Wey arrived in the United States as a young man from Beijing with $62 in his pocket, a one-way plane ticket and a full scholarship to an American university. He studied hard, worked tirelessly and started several businesses while still on campus.
Those early ventures grew into a Wall Street career as a job creator and financier. As CEO of New York Global Group, an international private equity and advisory firm with access to more than $1 billion in investment capital, he has helped fund businesses that support tens of thousands of jobs worldwide.
A Columbia University graduate with two master’s degrees in business, he attributes his success to a lesson learned from his mother: every conversation is an opportunity for improvement and growth.
