The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth 251: They Stole His $1B Company While He Was on His Deathbed with Adel Sayegh
He was dying. They thought he wouldn’t survive. So they stole his $1B company.
Adel Sayegh built a billion-dollar business from nothing—pioneering security tag technology, facial recognition, and GPS tracking. But while he lay on his deathbed battling pancreatic cancer, the people he trusted most betrayed him.
They drained his accounts, forged documents, and used his assets to rack up debt. The result? A complete collapse of the empire he spent decades building.
In this raw, emotional episode, Adel shares the true story of how he lost everything—and why he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. From surviving terminal illness to finding unshakable peace through his faith, this is one of the most unbelievable stories ever told on the podcast.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1.) Why Adel chose forgiveness over prosecution—even after being betrayed by his most trusted team members.
2.) The hard-earned lessons from bootstrapping a billion-dollar company from his garage—and why he wouldn’t take the same approach today.
3.) How faith—and unexplainable miracles—helped Adel survive terminal cancer and discover a greater purpose.
