"What does make a person broke? UnBrokable* means not being able to go broke, financially.”

– from the Prologue in "UnBrokable*"

Welcome to Brad's library: Brad Kong (공덕영) is an insighter and factlet retailer. Born in 1973, Brad had spent the first 26 years of his life in South Korea (including college years and the Army service). In 1999, he immigrated to America and has resided 27 years, as of 2026 (including university, business ownership and employment).

Brad walked away from his millionaire parents in Korea in his 20s. Initially, he had worked for drudgeries in America. Eventually, he managed to buy his condo in full cash in 2013 (whose price has more than tripled by 2026). He deposited 100 USD into his stock account in 2011 and his portfolio has grown to 520,000 USD by 2026. "UnBrokable*" shows 80 lessons he has learned along the way and there are three series, as of 2026:

- Drafts

- Preliminary

- UnBrokable*

- Poetry
