Keith Raniere is one of the most popular and richest Businessperson who was born on August 26, 1960 in Brooklyn, New York, United States.
Keith Raniere was born on August 26, 1960, to James Raniere, a New York City advertiser, and his wife Vera, a ballroom dancing instructor. Raniere’s father recalls that Vera “drank more than she should have,” and in adulthood, Keith himself privately described his mother as an alcoholic. When Raniere was five, he and his family relocated from Brooklyn to Suffern, New York. When he was around eight years old, his parents separated.
Keith Allen Raniere (born August 26, 1960), also known as Vanguard, is an American convicted felon and the founder of NXIVM, a multi-level marketing organization based near Albany, New York. Between 1998 and 2018, NXIVM developed a following primarily through its personal development seminars, recruiting several celebrities and socialites. However, the organization also faced multiple accusations of systemic sexual abuse of female members by Raniere and members of his inner circle, leading to the arrests of Raniere and other NXIVM members in early 2018. Raniere has subsequently been characterized in media reports as a cult leader.
