Featured in Your Business at Home magazine, January 2008

Clifton Mbanugo grew up in Nigeria, West Africa, and came to America in the Winter of 1994 with his mother and younger brother in hopes of reuniting with his father. After finding his father, the outcome was not as Clifton had hoped. Ultimately, Clifton found himself in a strange land alone and penniless. His father finally settled and decided to allow Clifton to make his way in the land of opportunity. In July of 2006, while working for an escrow company, a friend called Clifton and asked if he'd ever considered going into business as a real estate investor and businessman. That's when Clifton was introduced to Nouveau Riche and knew he found the vehicle to achieve his "American Dream." He quickly adopted Jim Piccolo, Mary Piccolo and Bob Snyder as models and mentors and used the Nouveau Riche founders and leaders as inspiration to achieve success. Clifton now owns cash-flow-positive properties and has created an incredible income stream sharing the opportunity with others. Nouveau Riche has allowed Clifton to design the life he desired, develop his leadership capabilities and start building a legacy of prosperity that he'll be proud to leave behind.

Chris Record & Vanessa Torchio
Independent Regional Advisors for Northern California, Nevada, and Oregon
2007 Winners Circle

At the young age 20, Chris Record decided to launch his own Web site design and marketing business out of his home. A few years later he met his beautiful partner Vanessa and relocated to Roseville, CA to take his business to the next level. He soon teamed up with Google and in 2005 his business finally took off, earning a comfortable six figures! Due to the market, his internet business started declining, which meant even more hours behind a computer for less money, and eventually it was too much to handle. By June of 2006, Chris and Vanessa had hit rock bottom, until a friend introduced them to Nouveau Riche. Within 90 days their lives had completely changed earning enough income to pay off their debts and go full time with Nouveau Riche. Now, less than two years later, they have earned well over half a million dollars in income and have helped dozens of people to change their lives as well. In addition to building and supporting his marketing team, now at the IRA level, you can find Chris "paying it forward" to the community by offering his time and search engine optimization skills to help improve the Nouveau Riche reputation online as we continue to grow.
