Paul Offaria net worth
Paul Offaria Net Worth: Paul Orfalea is an American entrepreneur and public speaker with a net worth of $250 million. Paul Orfalea was born on November 28, 1947 in Los Angeles, California. Paul Orfalea founded Kinko’s near UC Santa Barbara in 1970 with a simple idea: to provide college students with the products and services they need at competitive prices.
The name “Kinko” was coined from Orfalea’s Kinko nickname (due to his curly red hair). Orfalea leased very little space for its photocopying business, but Kinko’s has grown into the world’s leading business services chain, with more than 1,100 Kinko’s worldwide. Much of Kinko’s success can be traced directly to Orfalea’s unique business philosophy based on the founder’s free-thinking and creative style. Orfalea’s theories and intuitions about how to run a successful business are based on his passion for retailing, his persistence in caring for colleagues and customers, and a keen eye for opportunity. Through Paul Orfalea’s leadership, Kinko’s has shown exemplary leadership in environmental responsibility. Orfalea is no longer involved with Kinko’s. He now spends most of his time on new business ventures. One of these is the establishment of the Orfalea Family Foundation, which supports a variety of charitable causes but has a particular focus on early care and education, caregiver training and intergenerational programs in children’s centers. Orfalea has a strong need for public speaking, often delivering inspiring messages to business organisations, especially entrepreneurs and working women. In 2000, People magazine described Orfalea as one of several outstanding leaders who overcame dyslexia and went on to have outstanding careers.
