Thomas Kramer, a.k.a.“TK”, was born into a working-class family in Frankfurt, Germany, where at a young age he began to learn the trade of trading from his diligent father who was a luminary on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

It was obvious at an early age that TK would become a profitable entrepreneur. At 13, TK published his own fully staffed monthly newspaper, Pausenzeichen (which means Recess), featuring political related articles for which he sold advertising door–to-door. At age 14 he had enough money to open his own bank account and by his late teens, TK had made his first million using his boarding school pay phone.

TK’s developing fascination with politics led him to become the head of the regional JU, the official youth organization of the conservative state party. He was later asked by the Republican Party to be a part of a televised debate and spoke out against Communism. Several years later, TK was invited to President Ronald Reagan’s Inaugural Ball.

With his parents’ support, TK came toAmerica and arrived at Harvard University as a trainee at ABD (Dresdner Bank’s sister company). TK soon transferred to New York City where he was pushed out of ABD for creating too much trading volume for his own account.

In New York City, in 1979, TK was taken under the wing of Stanley Florin, one of the all time legends of the New York Stock Exchange. It was Florin’s ill advice that costed TK his entire fortune; however, TK made his money back within a few weeks.

In 1987, TK predicted the stock market crash in a newspaper well before it happened. He became well-known, appearing on numerous talk shows. He was featured in dozens of newspaper and magazines where he was deemed a “Wunderkind’.

Two years later, TK married Catherine-Anne Burda, daughter of Germany’s most powerful publishing family. They had a daughter, Joya, in 1992, but divorced three years later.

A trip to Miami inspired TK to get into real estate. He quickly built 120 properties on South Beach and joined forces with Jorge Perez, CEO and president of The Related Group of Florida. TK developed what is now one of Florida’s hippest, most luxurious and expensive neighborhoods: South of Fifth.

TK is one entrepreneur who knows the importance of taking risks and trusting his own instincts. Through ambition and sheer bravado, TK built himself an empire around overcoming challenges and innovative and predicative thinking.
