His Birthday Party Making Headlines

James Vitas made headlines recently for his incredible lifestyle. In September of this year, he threw a lavish $1 million birthday party that became the talk of the town. 

It took place in a penthouse that was three stories tall at the Hotel on Rivington. We are informed that rapper SAINt JHN performed following his set at the Rolling Loud music festival. His celebration included top-notch chefs, expensive champagne and whiskey, and an entire entourage of close friends, family members, and a trove of celebrities. 

He started VMD Companies at 19 years old in a basement 

At 19 years old, James was already a budding entrepreneur. After recognizing the potential of real estate investment, he founded VMD Companies in his basement.

For three years, VMD operated at a deficit as James honed his knowledge of the industry and worked to establish himself as an authoritative voice in the real estate investment space. 

At one point, a general contractor defaulted on James and VMD Companies – a situation that could have easily seen the company go sideways.

However, determined to stay afloat despite the odds stacked against him, James stepped in and self-performed the remaining work to ensure that VMD Companies would not succumb to failure.

This remarkable feat established him as a force to be reckoned within the real estate investment sector. 

What sets James apart from other investors is his relentless determination and commitment to winning: no matter how dire circumstances may be or how much pressure he’s under, he never ceases to search for innovative solutions to ensure success.
