The Wealth Portal has helped many investors to become financially free by passive investments in the Crypto Currency and Forex Markets.
The son of the legendary late comedian Paul Mooney, he, along with his brother, Darryl have a very famous and hilarious comedy act, The Mooney Twins. They’ve shared the stage with Paul Mooney, Dick Gregory and have been seen as performers in several clubs, TV shows and movies. “We’ve done comedy off and on for years,” said Dwayne Mooney. “It could just never maintain our focus.” Around the age of 15, the twins, from Oakland, California, moved to Los Angeles to live with their very famous father. “We saw Robin Williams sleeping on the couch, and David Letterman and Richard Pryor used to come by,” he reflected. However, their dad, Paul Mooney was never shy about voicing his displeasure with Hollywood politics, which at times made things difficult for his sons, including an incident that happened during the taping of a cable comedy show.
“We were hired to do the warmup,” he said. “And when we came in to do the warmup the producer brought us in and said ‘you know, we don’t like your father and we’re going to fire you guys.” The experience sharpened them for being prepared for the reality of Hollywood politics.
Despite those travails, the twins got inspiration from their mentor, Dick Gregory. “He was our spiritual father,” said Dwayne. “That’s how influential he was. When we saw him perform at the Comedy Store, there was about 50 people there, mostly White, but they just listened to every word he said. I said, ‘who is this brother?’ I had never seen anything like it.” After seeing Gregory at a show in San Francisco, Dwayne knew that he wanted to be in the comedy circles. “This I what I want to do,” he said. “Telling jokes with serious information, doing comedy lectures.” They got very close and he recounted a conversation he had with Gregory about the subject matter of his comedy. “We used to debate all the time, we used to have arguments,” he reflected. “Hey Dick, you’re always talking about conspiracy theories and complaining, you’re sitting here living like a king, why don’t you talk about showing people how to make money? He answered, ‘that’s your job (n-word).”
Inspired by Dick Gregory, Dwayne modeled their business after Gregory’s with a parallel purpose in the quest for prosperity. “Dick Gregory was about the Civil Rights of Health,” he said. “We are about the Silver Rights of Self-Improvement. Just a different package, same thing.” From the mentorship of Dick Gregory, who implored them that “whatever you do, take your comedy with you,” The Wealth Portal was born. And they tour the world, giving lectures, often injecting their brand of comedy in their teachings as part of what they do as investment strategists. “So, we’re not limited to standup, in fact, I can’t be a 64-year-old man (I’ll be 65 May 22nd of this month) I can’t be 65 in a nightclub, trying to make it. I’m past that, I’d already made it- I made more than most comedians made, unless you’re at superstar level and I did it my way, towards using investing to make it happen, basically in the cryptocurrency world.”
The Wealth Portal’s emphasis isn’t on trading, it’s on investing. “I learned the formula of passive investing, where people don’t invest themselves,” he said. “I know how to trade- I know how to trade Forex, Crypto, the stock market, that stuff is not fun unless you love it. The money is fun, but actually doing it is work- you have to study, you have to look at the charts, you have to study the news, you have to really know what’s going on in the financial world and that’s work. It only takes 5 minutes a day to make a trade, but it’s two hours of studying, just to make a trade. Then, if you’re in a trade, you’re worried about the trade, whether it’s going to win or if it’s going to lose, so your mind is always preoccupied in the trade. I couldn’t handle that, I’m too sensitive. Let me connect with people that do it.”
The Wealth Portal tours the world, using humor and information which empowers people “to take control of their finances and to live their best lives.” “So, we find programs around the world that people can get into and make money passively. When you’re making the kind of money that we’re making, you’ve got to roll with it, or you’re just a lottery winner.”
Their company stresses that keys to success are 1) Having a millionaire mindset 2) Having financial literacy and 3) Financial IQ (what you are making). “Once you have those three things, that’s when things start taking off,” said Dwayne Mooney. “You mix that with self-improvement, working on yourself, going to the gym, getting strong, or if it’s yoga, whatever it is that rocks your boat. That you are being fit, that you’re working on your mind, you’re constantly improving your following and doing what millionaires do, you’re reading books, you’re staying educated and you understand the mindset of what people do when they have money.”
Dwayne Mooney and The Wealth Portal believes that helping others is the key to success. “When you’re making money, you want to become a better person,” said the successful businessman. “You want to become a happier person, you want to be able to help your friends, your family and your loved ones. You’re constantly making money. When you’re making money and helping people, it’s a lifelong job. But it’s a job I love doing.”
If you want to improve your life through investing, then Dwayne Mooney’s The Wealth Portal is the first place you should start. Investing can be lucrative for all people, but to achieve prosperity for people of color, investing needs to be at the forefront of financial planning for the future. “The economy is down, but my profits are high,” said Dwayne Mooney, a success in entertainment and finance who is navigating the portal of wealth and prosperity.
