How Did Manjit Minhas Become Rich?

Born on May 31st in 1980, and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Manjit Minhas started her career very early on in life. At the ripe age of 19, while she was still studying engineering at the University of Calgary, Minhas started a business with her younger brother. They scraped together around 10,000 USD and founded a beer brand called Mountain Crest Classic Larger, launching their spirits in 1999 and their beer in 2002.

In the beginning, the Minhas brothers sold their manufactured and imported beer at their parents’ private liqueur store. Surprisingly, if you consider their ages, the company was one of the first to successfully enter the Canadian brewing industry in many decades. Nowadays, the Minhas Brand offers a grand variety of alcohol products (over 90 options) and their products are sold in five provinces: Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.

In June of 2012, Manjit Minhas opened a second brewery called the Minhas Micro Brewery, in addition to other businesses she owns such as Minhas Kitchen, that provide a revenue of 155 million USD, as last reported in 2014.

How Manjit Minhas Spends Her Money?

Manjit Minhas started investing as soon as she started her first business with her brother. The first thing they bought was an office building in northeast Calgary. From that moment on, real estate has been a big part of their portfolio, while they were continuously expanding their operations. Minhas also invested in commercial real estate across North America and overseas. She claims that she prefers to hold on to an investment for as long as possible, as she is not a buy-and-sell investor.

Apart from real estate, Manjit Minhas invests in different industries. Over the last decade, she has invested in the coffee industry, the energy drink industry, and in health care. The first stock Minhas bought was Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which later became Keurig Green Mountain Inc. Feeling like she can take care of herself, Minhas does not have a broker, managing the investments alone.

All of these investments have been made over the ten seasons of the TV series. Manjit Minhas claims that she looks for two main things when choosing a product to invest in: the practical side and the passion she can see in the young entrepreneurs. Minhas helps the competitors that have a great product and a zealous attitude towards work because she knows that that’s the only way to succeed in this domain.

When it comes to her lifestyle and personal purchases, Manjit Minhas prefers to keep silent. There is almost no record of the prices of her house, car, and other valuables. However, we do know that she cares very much about charities, donating to non-profit organizations such as United Way and Ronal McDonald Charity.
