Brian Zheng’s first invention has generated more than $2.7 billions since 1989.
The sales revenue exceeded $11 million in the first year for the Sun Shade. Even though there were many other competitors under the same licensing agreement, the total revenue exceeded more than $45 million in the first 3 years. Since its inception, the product has exceeded more than 1 billion units distributed all over the world.
Under Brian Zheng's management and consulting, there are many companies selling this product under a licensing agreement. These companies have generated hundreds of millions of dollars over the years.
Brian Zheng created these sun shades that were built specifically for all automobiles. They were designed while he attended the College of Art Center and Design in Pasadena, California as a student going for his Master’s Degree in Industrial Design.
From selling in the swap meet at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to mail-order catalogs such as Brookstone and Sharper Image, to Price Club, Costco, Walmart, Target, Pep Boys, Autozone, and many more stores.
It generated millions for him and was his first success. Brian Zheng turned his own idea into multi-millions.
