PRESENTING: Inside the career rise of a 29-year-old private jet broker who manages celebrity clients like Diddy and the Kardashians

Kelvin Mensah left his life in New York, where he'd worked retail and service jobs growing up, to move to Los Angeles in 2015. By 2019, Mensah had cofounded his own company, PJKev Approved LLC, and chartered more than 300 jets.

"My first time in LA, I remember going up to the hills and looking at all these mansions," he told Insider. "That opened up my vision and mentality to how it's possible to acquire these assets and build wealth for your family. I said, 'If I could find a niche of close associates with a high-net-worth business, I could make a lot of money from a small percentage.'"

Mensah, 29, is now a luxury lifestyle specialist who arranges private flights for high-profile clients, like the Kardashians and soccer superstar Neymar Jr. By focusing on excellent customer service and fair prices, he's established a client list of more than 300 people across industries like entertainment and sports.
