# Early Life

Zackary Brad Rich was born on August 3rd, 1985 in Los Angeles California to James Brad Rich and Sofia Anya Volkova. He was the second of four children of the Rich Family, a multi-business owning family.

His father James grew up poor in Oakland California. James would help his parents pay rent by working at a local restaurant and selling canvas artwork at local coffee shops and galleries. James eventually graduated from Stanford University earning a Masters in Business. James later moved to Los Angeles to begin an art career. He later met a local real estate agent Henry Johnson who liked James skill when selling his artwork and asked him to join his real estate agency. James later would open up his own real estate agency specializing in celebrity homes and high end commercial locations. James, while selling a commercial location, met Zackary’s mother Sofia and would marry her six months later.

Zackary’s mother Sofia was a Russian immigrant who came to the U.S. to open ‘Bite’, a fusion restaurant in West Hollywood that would later become a five Michelin star restaurant. Zackary’s paternal grand parents died before Zackary was born and his maternal grandparents remain living in Moscow, Russia.

Zackary grew up a very luxurious life because of his mother and father’s business ventures. They lived in West Hollywood in the same home for his entire life which is now known as Rich Manor. He didn’t particularly get along with his siblings or father. Zackary was often made an outcast amongst his family. His father was particularly difficult with him being very controlling and demanding of what he wanted Zack to be. Zack only took a liking to his mother who often was gone, but had a strong relationship with Zack when she was present. He also had a close relationship with his brother Jaylen Isaac Rich who was 5 years younger. Zack’s other brother Jack Michael Rich (the youngest) would often be the favorite of their father. Zack grew a resentment towards his youngest brother making them have a very difficult relationship throughout his entire life. Although Zack and Ashley Dawn Rich, the oldest sibling, were only a year apart, they did not have a close relationship because Ashley would often bully Zack because of his odd personality as a child.

Zackary attended Le Lycée Francois de Los Angeles, a private international school. Zackary would excel in art like his father, taking a liking to architecture and classical art. Throughout his childhood he would ask his mother to take him to museums and drama performances at local theaters. Zackary struggled with dyslexia making it difficult for him to learn. His father would often verbally abuse Zack because he thought he was incapable of comprehending simple words.

As Zack became older he would have little effort dedicated to his family and would focus on his friends and teachers, developing strong relationships and becoming very popular. However he would still get frustrated because of his dyslexia and leave school to partake in vandalism with friends and other local teens. Zackary became a regular marijuana and cocaine user in his high school years. With threats of being removed from his school, Zackary’s father forced him to play soccer and tennis which later Zackary would find himself to be very athletic but still had a passion for the arts.

Zackary strongly disliked his controlling father and would often rebel by leaving his family home for days staying at friends homes or on the beach. Zachary’s father in return would send him with his grandparents in Russia during the summers as discipline. Because of this Zackary became fluent in Russian and became very close with his maternal grandparents. He would eventually enjoy spending the summers on his grandparents wheat farm. Zackary would have a relationship with a local Russian boy and look forward to the summer trips to Moscow. Zackary grew distant from his father and family in his late teens and eventually almost entirely cut ties with his family.

# College and Career

After his early education Zackary would attend University of Nevada Las Vegas to study architecture. Zackary enjoyed UNLV but would often only attend his architecture classes. Zackary would barely obtain his bachelors degree. With help from his father who didn’t want to see his son be a failure, he would then attend his fathers alma mater of Stanford University to get a masters in Architecture.

After finishing at Stanford Zackary would work at an architecture firm designing cubicle layouts and would freelance modeling through different agencies in Los Angeles. After two years of working, at age 20 Zackary would leave the architecture career and focus completely on modeling. For the next four years his modeling career would become incredibly successful. He obtained a large contract with Calvin Klein being spotlighted as one of their top models. Zackary would also meet Summer Rothgeb further launching his career in modeling and acting. Zackary who was excited about his new calling would return to his home only to be welcomed by judgement and neglect. Ashley became a successful lawyer, Jaylen became a NASA engineer and Jack, who was still in high school, was about to finish an early college education. Zackary’s father was disappointed in his sons career choice telling him that the only thing he was good at was being handsome and walking. Zackary would become furious with these accusations and dropped his modeling career.

Using the rest of his earned modeling money Zackary would start ‘Rich Architecture Firm’ with his roommate Justin Marsh, who was a business major from Stanford. Together they would start a completely online architecture firm from their apartment. They started designing small shopping malls and local restaurants. After doing this for almost a year and bringing in very little money Zackary was wanting to close the business and return to modeling. Within the last month of the year Zackary received a phone call from an old modeling agent who had heard about Zack’s new venture. He said he had liked Zack’s freelance designs on his personal blog and wanted him to design a new building for their modeling agency. With this being the largest opportunity yet Zackary became very excited and intrigued. In a six month time frame Zackary had designed and constructed the new agency building. In the next month ‘Rich Architecture’ was on every major magazine, website and newspaper.

Zackary and Justin saw hundreds of design requests coming in for commercial buildings, hotels and stadiums. The next year would have them design 150 hotels, 400 commercial buildings and 5 major stadiums including the next olympic stadium. Zackary now at the height of his career turned his company public and became the CEO of ‘Rich Architecture’. Justin Marsh would follow him as the CFO. Both young men would have immense success, however the board of directors of the new found public company found Justin to be a PR problem because of his private life. The directors believed Justins life was too plain and private. The news loved Zackary’s outlandish personality and wild stories. The board of directors convinced Zack to let Justin go quietly with a golden parachute of 5% of the company (valued at 5 Billion USD). Shortly after Justins departure Zack would take on the biggest project of his career. He wanted to design a hotel like no other in the world. He wanted the inspiration to come from a fantasy of luxury. This hotel became the ‘Sofia Hotel’. The Sofia Hotel was a 60 floor 340 suites luxury hotel. Zackary would create a private penthouse on the 60th floor to work as a HQ and living space for ‘Rich Architecture’. Zackary won the Prtizker Architecture Prize’ for the hotel making him the youngest architect in history to be awarded the prestigious prize. Zackary would return home to his father to prove his worth. His father was immensely proud but Zack didn’t want approval, he only wanted to prove a point.

After his huge success and owning 50% of the company himself, Zackary continues to serve as the CEO of ‘Rich Architecture’ but no longer creates his own designs. He continues to train and teach his designers of his modern and futuristic styles of architecture adding to the companies continued success. With his new found wealth Zack decided to reenter the fashion industry and created ZR Fashion. ZR fashion took inspiration from his hometown of LA by making luxury street style clothing. His brand would be worn by the most famous rappers and R&B artists throughout the 2010’s.

Zackary would also begin to host TV shows like Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe making him a staple in television. He also became a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother but lost to Britney Reynolds who would become Zackary’s first wife. This led to the creation of a reality show produced by E network called ‘The Rich Life’ following Zack, Britney and his siblings on their life in Hollywood and New York. The show would run for 2 years in success from 2011-2013 but ended when Zackary and Britney divorced. A spin-off was created called ‘Zack and Jack: Miami’ following Zack and his brother on their life in Miami but ended because of Jack’s early death.

Zackary left acting to focus on his new found wife Camilla Stewart and his children. Zackary continues to be the CEO of ‘Rich Architecture’ and design clothing for ZR fashion.
