The dream

GLIMPSE OF INFINITY PENTHOUSE LAUNCH FOR GURBAKSH CHAHAL OPRAH INTERVIEW, NEW BOOK, AND ‘THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE’ FOX TV PROGRAM Gurbaksh ‘G’ Chahal, San Francisco’s sizzling new bachelor around town, this month gathered in family and friends to his penthouse atop the Infinity, San Francisco’s hottest new highrise property. Towering over the Embarcadero, The Infinity is located at 160 Folsom Street at Spear Street

The A-List convocation centered around watching Oprah interview ‘G’ that day nationally, the launch of his newly released book The Dream: How I Learned the Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship and Made Millions, and a teaser TV trailer of The Secret Millionaire, starring ‘G’ who travels incognito in search of good folks in need of large financial gifting to see them through to their dreams. THE DREAM GROUP await arrival of guests, from left, Joel Goodrich, Sophie Azouaou, Kamal Chahal, Nirmal Chahal, Gurbaksh ‘G’ Chahal, Avtar Chahal, and Taj Chahal

‘G,’ now a fulsome 26-years-old, in real life became a millionaire as a teenager, later to sell a subsequent company for $300 million, then ripely matured to 25. His good friend Sophie, with the help of Joel Goodrich, organized the party, herself about to premier her own television program this Spring focusing on philanthropy. “My passion is about helping others,” reflected Sophie, who serves on the Board of Directors of Raphael House. “I have been fortunate to be in a position where I could help. “I believe in these challenging and difficult times our community will benefit from this show, as we should join efforts and come as one to help people in need,” Sophie explained. ‘G’ first met Sophie at a Raphael House luncheon fundraiser, quickly offering his support to Sophie’s vision. “I believe Sophie’s upcoming television show is a missing void in television today,” ‘G’ reflected. “At especially tough economic times like this, we need to remind ourselves on how crucial the elements of philanthropy are in our community. “Having a show that inspires this message every week — will allow the Bay Area community — to realize sometimes the best gift in life is to give.

“I fully support what Sophie is trying to achieve,” added ‘G’. Likewise, the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco has penned a letter of support for Sophie’s TV venture based on sincerity and skill Gavin Newsom has seen over the years as Raphael House fundraising organizer and community philanthropist.
