## Biography

Kierz Tanner, (born October 24th 1984) is an American nightclub entrepreneur , investor, promoter and socialite. He grew up in Las Venturas with his wealthy father who ran a string of nightclubs and real estate across the country. Kierz attended Greenglass College where he studied business and finance as well as resort management and graduated at the top of his class. At the age of 20 Kierz’s father made it clear to him that he wanted the best for his son but told him Las Venturas was not the place to get started in business and handing the young entrepreneurial graduate an estimated sum of around £100,000,000 in loans.

Kierz left the city and headed to Liberty City where he met William Jerkov, an aspiring business owner in Algonquin, Liberty City. Kierz agreed to go into business with Jerkov and purchase an upscale property in Hatton Gardens that opened up ‘Jerkov’s’. Upon the launch and success of Jerkov’s, Kierz Tanner befriended real estate mogul and businessman Yusuf Amir who is the son to Egyptian businessman Abdul Amir. Yusuf and Kierz entered business together on many joint ventures before Kierz founded his first venture ‘The Arcadius Group’.

After the long term developing success of ‘The Arcadius Group’, Kierz moved to Los Santos, San Andreas to run his company which was by now operating internationally from the headquarters in Pillbox Hill. In Los Santos, Kierz befriended business tycoon Devin Weston and helped mentor Kierz into making a name for himself in San Andreas and eventually winning the Los Santos Transit Award as a result of his business activities upon running The Arcadius Group which operates multiple business entities and ventures. ‘The Arcadius Group’ made Kierz Tanner a business news regular upon each investment he made across multiple industries before also becoming the founder to another entities and venture based business called ‘T|T International’ that focuses Kierz's other business ventures.

In 2017 Kierz met his wife Valerie Halla, who at the time was a French college graduate working for technology and holding company AmbiguX upon meeting her at The Arcadius Building following a business meeting with Michael Defledhead the Chief Executive of AmbiguX that had Valerie in attendance. In late 2017 Kierz proposed to Valerie on Happiness Island during a planned business trip to Liberty City and in 2018 Valerie & Kierz got married in a lavish ceremony in Vinewood.

Upon becoming a rather well known public figure, Kierz launched a bid to stand as an Independent candidate for President of The United States and handed his business ventures to be be ran temporarily by William Jerkov and a consortium of directors upon Tanner’s brief absence. The campaign with Richard Ascot saw Kierz draw a surprising amount of support at his multiple country rallies but upon the election he lost in a close election to candidate Claire Audley. Kierz still quotes in his book that it was ‘one of his proudest accomplishments’ nonetheless. In 2019 it was announced that 53rd President of The United States Chris Lopez would seek to appoint Kierz as Secretary of Commerce and consequently did upon his election making Tanner sworn in as the 41st Secretary of Commerce. Kierz worked hard as Secretary of Commerce and spent a lot of his time travelling and meeting with country representative before looking to form a new trade agreement with South Korea. The trade discussions with South Korea were ongoing over the main duration of Tanner’s duties as Secretary before completion of the deal in May 2020 named ‘SKUS20’ that announced 95% eliminations of each nation's tariffs on goods within five years and the guidelines to increase the export on American goods.

Upon President Lopez announcing his plans to not run for a second term, Kierz announced that he would be stepping down from his government role and returning to his former chief executive roles within his companies. Upon his return to business, Tanner announced that Jerkov would be leaving the board of T|T International and Mr. Vassillos Goodwin would be appointed as COO. Kierz is notably on the board of directors for many businesses and forming partnerships has been a major source of his wealth.

In 2018 it was reported that Kierz’s net worth amassed to $75,000,000,000 from assets, investments and inheritance with it being estimated to being $120,000,000,000 in 2021 from the value of his shares in The Crastenburg Hotels & Resorts and the sale of his shares in The Las Venturas Flyers, The T|T International Golf Resorts and notably Halcyon Holdings Corporation according to Zorbes. He has featured on the cover of Money Maker (An Entrepreneurial Magazine) and has also appeared on his own show 'The Wolf' in 2018 on Nebflix. In 2023, Kierz announced that T|T International would be acquiring insurance and business corporation 'GetaLife', the acquisition would be followed by a 1% investment in Chambers International and the selling of the rights of the former T|T International Resorts to the Landgraab Resorts Group. According to Prattle, Kierz's nightclub empire has cemented his legacy within the night-time economy alongside the legendary Anthony (Gay Tony) Prince and the late Vic Manzano.
