#1 I was 32 years old when I went to see the smartest man in the world, Keith Raniere. I was not interested in joining his multilevel marketing company, but I was curious about what he had to say. It was impossible to escape my fate.

#2 Keith was born in 1960, two years younger than me. He was sent to private schools, but he didn’t need them. He was demonstrating an understanding of the rudiments of quantum mechanics at age two, and by age four he had mastered advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

#3 Keith Raniere, the founder of Consumers’ Buyline, Inc. , a multilevel marketing company, was listed in Guinness World Records for the highest IQ at 240. He was unassuming in person, but he came alive onstage.

#4 The Consumers’ Buyline was a multilevel marketing company that sold memberships to join a group that would buy merchandise at wholesale prices. It was a brilliant idea, and it was popular with shoppers. But it was also promoted by Keith Raniere, who seemed to be a genius.
