In this video, we explore the incredible story of Ted Ngoy, famously known as The Donut King, an 8th-grade dropout who went from fleeing war-torn Cambodia to building a multi-million dollar donut empire in America. His journey is one of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of the American Dream, proving that with hard work and determination, even the most unlikely individuals can rise to success.
Ted Ngoy’s story begins in the 1970s, when he fled Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime and arrived in the United States as a refugee. With little to his name and no formal education, Ted found himself working odd jobs just to make ends meet. One day, while working as a gas station attendant, he tasted his first donut, and that moment changed everything. Determined to make a better life for his family, Ted enrolled in a donut-making course and quickly mastered the craft. His big break came when he was able to purchase his first donut shop with a loan, and from there, his empire began to grow.
Ted’s work ethic and business savvy led him to own dozens of donut shops across Southern California, revolutionizing the donut business. Not only did he achieve incredible success, but he also gave back to his community by helping fellow Cambodian refugees establish their own donut businesses. At one point, an estimated 80% of donut shops in California were owned by Cambodians, thanks to Ted Ngoy’s mentorship and influence.
But Ted’s rise to the top wasn’t without challenges. His story also includes a dramatic fall, as he struggled with personal issues that eventually cost him much of his fortune. Yet, his resilience and perseverance continue to inspire many.
Join us as we delve into the inspiring journey of The Donut King, a story of triumph, loss, and redemption. Ted Ngoy’s life is a testament to the power of dreams, the spirit of entrepreneurship, and the will to overcome adversity.
