Trudeau grew up in a middle-class family. But he accumulated multi-million wealth. He reached the new level of earnings in late 1990s, when he created a number of radio and TV infomercials. He produced the series of programs, which were on air late at night, where he offered his clients to buy various kinds of “magic remedies”, like supplements, which could help reduce the body weight without any efforts from patient’s side, baldness treatments etc.
Probably, each his fan knew deep in his soul, that all Kevin’s sweet promises were fake, but Trudeau’s talent to motivate people made a miracle. Soon his commercial shows developed enormous fan base, and Kevin’s products were bought with meteoric speed.
His net worth increased rapidly, but soon Trudeau met the first obstacle on his way on top. In 1998 he was considered as the fraudster and was fined for $500, 000. It turned out that the wide selection of miraculous medications couldn’t improve the memory, cure from drug addiction and help to get rich.
Even after the legal problems Kevin Trudeau couldn’t refuse from his source of wealth, which was not so honest, but brought him huge piles of easy money. He didn’t pay the fine and instead released a number of books, such as “Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About” – a medical guide, which was supposed to help Kevin readers to cure from complicated diseases fast and cheap.
In 2004 Trudeau was prosecuted again and fined for $37 million. Finally, in 2013 he was imprisoned for 10 years. Even being in prison, the scandalous author Kevin Trudeau continues to motivate his fans (and make cash).
Kevin Trudeau’s Way On Top

Trudeau earned his first salary as a car salesman. But earning his living through doing a number of low-paid boring operations was not the thing he had been looking for. In early 1990s Kevin broke the law for the first time. He was accused to alternate the values of checks and get $80, 000 profits from it. He was imprisoned for two years, but in 1993 Trudeau came back to get even more cash and then even more jail time.
Now, when Kevin is in prison, his fans still support him. The legions of people think that his punishment was too severe as numerous other criminals, who had been really cruel, got much easier verdict.

The building of the prison looks neat and cozy. It has minimum of security facilities, but can boast with manicured lawns, golf course and greenhouses.
