![]() On his current trajectory of fast-growing affluence, he imagined he could one day be a billionaire (though he might give up accruing wealth before then, he said, to focus on charitable endeavors). Turner's net worth has swelled to about $10 million and counting, he claims. In September, he added, he raised his largest real-estate fund yet, topping out at about $25 million in just five days. The firm has used that cash to acquire about $200 million of property so far, he said. ![]() Though he started out as a small-time real-estate investor, Turner estimated that over the past year and a half, his nascent real-estate investment company, Open Door Capital, has raised close to $100 million, much of it by soliciting his social-media base. That might still only amount to "niche fame" in a world of social-media megastars, but it has led to big money. Over the past decade, the now-36-year-old has attracted 250,000 followers to his Instagram handle, and created a hit investing-advice podcast on the media platform BiggerPockets that's earned over 100 million downloads and is the No. It has garnered Turner a devoted following amid a DIY investment boom cluttered with Reddit stocks, cryptocurrency, and Robinhood accounts. He preaches a simple mantra: Buying up homes and renting them out can be a path to wealth and financial freedom for the masses and an escape from a 9-to-5 grind that, for many during the pandemic, has become all-consuming.
