Lloyd “Paper” Carter got his start and claim to fame at the tender age of fourteen, as a “runner” for the legendary NYC Money Brothers organization. After twleve-years of hard work, sacrifice and patience, Paper along with his partner, Levi Coniine, started their own company Cartier Group International (CGI), which has heavy involvement in the underground economic culture of the US. As the main distributor on the East Coast, Mr. Carter oversees business operations in NYC, NJ, Philly, Baltimore, DC and many other east coast street hubs, where they control up to 65% of the product sold on street corners.

Reinvesting his underground capital into legal real estate, publishing, technology, retail and various other ventures has allowed CGI to blossom into a $4.5 Billion Dollar company under Lloyd “Paper” Carter’s guidance. Mr. Carter credits much of his success to thinking like a man and doing business the right was. Although Paper got his start in the streets, Mr. Carter has often been quoted as saying, “The streets were never in him.” Paper's business philosophy is simply to gain control of the Black dollar while not compromising your business for the fast dollar. Paper's business code of ethnics has allowed he and his partner to build a $4.5 Billion Dollar empire in less than 12 years.

Here Is The 5 MONEY QUESTIONS Session We Conducted With Lloyd "Paper" Carter. Enjoy

SLV: What motivates you as a businessman?

PAPER: "I'm motivating by the space in between what’s possible  and what I’ve done. Being the first or the best in the world motivates me." 

SLV: What are you views of the Hip-Hop Generation?

PAPER: "Our young people today have alot of potential but there also many with misguided pursuits. That “get rich quick” myth has a very strong hold on Hip-Hop cats, and it’s killing their work ethic, breeding them into a generation of unrealistic thinkers. But Hip-Hop is also the strongest unifier in the world, stronger than religion, government.....anything.  It brings young people of all races together, which is profoundly changing how the world interacts. But some of the imagery in the game is overdone. Advertising the lifestyle of the 1% to the masses is dangerous. Many young people now think owning a Rolls Royce is a everyday thing.....just because they see one in every video. But in the real world there are only a select few of us in a position to actually own a Phantom. And that's my beef with Hip-Hop, it creates too many illusion for its misguided followers.

SLV: What are you views in regards to Blacks in business?

PAPER: "I think we’re making great strides. Barack Obama, more than any other Black person in America is changing the thought for Black America. He’s leaving us without that infamous 'white man 'excuse. However, I still think we need to become financially literate if we’re gonna balance out the wealth playing field. We need to learn how to think, speak and act money…and business is the best tool to build wealth with."

SLV: What was the most lavish and expensive thing you’ve purchased in the last 3 years?

PAPER: If you’re talking about a business purchase, we just closed on a $750 million dollar project in Dubai with the Saudis. Personally, I laid down $17 Mill for my new beach-front spot out in the Hamptons. I bought it from a well-known Wall St tycoon in July. It's one of the few things in my life I think I may have overpaid for. He hustled the hustler."

SLV: What’s the best advice you have to offer our Internet audience?

PAPER: "To know who you are and what you do. The keys to success are in your identity and ability…and how to execute your plans. Don’t play a hustler in the street when you’re really a mechanic or something. You have to do in life what comes natural and develop the necessary skills to support your natural abilities. For instance, if you’re poetic and enjoy rapping, then you need to develop the business skills necessary to make rapping a worthy pursuit for your life.  You have to do what you do because it’s you  and not because it's popular."
