Cnbc.com’s article titled What Jay Leno, Tony Hawk, and 8 other successful millionaires wish they knew in their 20s featured the following excerpt from Dan Lok:
“In my early 20s, I worked for next to nothing for my mentor. But I call that my ‘million-dollar year’ because that’s the value of the education I received. I spent the first five years of my career working long hours and living with my mom. And I never took a vacation.
Success takes hard work and time, but you have time. The question is, are you willing to work hard? Identify where you want to go and who you need to be to get there. Then reverse-engineer a plan.”

In addition, the Vancouver Sun reported in July 2020 on Lok being sued for non-payment of rent on a luxury home he had signed a lease for. The article quoted Lok as stating that he had terminated the lease due to unwarranted deficiencies in the home in question, whereas the landlord was accusing Lok of wrongfully ceasing payment in violation of the lease.
