Billionaire Shahid came to the United States in 1967 with only $500. He was 16 at the time and used to wash dishes while staying at a $2/night hotel and attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After graduating with a BSc in Industrial Engineering in 1971, Shahid joined auto parts manufacturer Flex-N-Gate as its engineering director. He had been working for the company while attending university.
In 1978, Shahid established the Bumper Works line, which he financed with his savings and a loan. Later in 1980, he purchased Flex-N-Gate from his employer. By 1989, the company had become the sole supplier for the entire Toyota line in the USA. Under his ownership, Flex-N-Gate grew from a million-dollar company to a multi-billion-dollar venture.
Tony Khan's net worth is expected to increase because he seems to have inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit. Shahid is also grooming him by working closely with his son and ensuring he learns the art with first-hand experience.
