Eddie Nuñez emigrated from Peru to the U.S. at age 14. Two decades later, he and his wife have six streams of revenue and bring in $420,000 per year.
Running six jobs at once is, he admits, challenging. Still, he's not done adding to the family's portfolio. He and Penaranda are in the process of buying a nearby Peruvian coffee shop.Before Nuñez was a successful business owner, he felt like he had to outwork everyone, he says. It was tough watching other kids at his school receive countless opportunities, while his mom held down three jobs.
While attempting to seek asylum in Canada in December 2010, Nuñez was caught at the border, deported back to the U.S. and arrested. By the end of 2011, Nuñez and Penaranda hit their stride. The couple rented out their basement and guest room to buy a $17,000 snowplow truck. The business saw enough initial success to scale quickly, and the couple worked their way up to a fleet of 10 trucks.The couple's snowplow business hit its peak after a winter storm in 2016. That week, the business brought in almost $154,000, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.
Nuñez graduated with his bachelor's degree in cybersecurity from the University of Maryland in 2018, two years after he officially became a U.S. citizen. Now, he makes about $113,800 from his full-time job as a cybersecurity contractor and freelance consultant. Real estate ownership provides mostly passive income, and he hopes that his growing business portfolio will eventually be lucrative enough to allow him to hire people to run those companies. That way, he can work less on the day-to-day operations and spend more time with his family, including his in-laws.
