Oct 16, 2026

One of the aspects Boris Mizhen admires most about the Elon Musk story is the way he chose his direction early in life.

-- Elon Musk's name remains at the top of most lists when it comes to modern-day innovators and entrepreneurs. Real estate developer and online media professional Boris Mizhen has cited Musk as one of the entrepreneurs who have influenced his own professional outlook. Mizhen points to Musk’s emphasis on innovation, long-term vision, and perseverance as sources of inspiration throughout his career and as motivating factors in his continued pursuit of opportunities across real estate, technology, and digital media.

“There’s just no one like him,” said Boris Mizhen. “He definitely thinks in the big picture, utilizing vertical integration within his companies to reduce costs, and always maintaining an overall societal view of the way he can improve life for everyone rather than just how to make a buck. Of course, he’s also a stunning example of the Renaissance Man transposed into the 21st Century, with his amazing understanding of programming, electrical technology, and flight.” Mizhen himself has contributed to several charitable organizations for many years, just doing his part to return to the world his own good fortune and success. He has been a longtime contributor to the Jewish Foundation’s “PACE” (Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment) fund and to the Chabad of Shoreline’s Jacob Fund, which helps to provide food for local families in need through electronic debit-type cards that may be used in supermarkets around the area.

One of the aspects Boris Mizhen admires most about the Elon Musk story is the way he chose his direction early in life. As he progressed through school and university, Elon Musk achieved great success, enabling him to aim for larger accomplishments throughout his career. Growing up in South Africa, Musk achieved his first triumph at the age of 12 when he wrote a computer program for his Commodore Vic-20, which a computer magazine bought for $500. He left South Africa at age 17, moving to Canada and then the United States, which he truly adores. As part of his life plan, Musk asked himself what would affect humanity the most. He came up with a list of five things: the internet, sustainable energy, space exploration and colonization, artificial intelligence, and reprogramming the human genetic code. As Musk’s career has shown, he’s capable of making his mark in all five.

Boris Mizhen followed a similar philosophy. His early success in real estate came about from an unrelenting focus on his goals. Now a prominent real estate developer in New York City, he started with a single, small rental property which became a significant revenue producer and provided the capital to expand his holdings. Mizhen gradually built a company developing both residential and commercial properties across the Eastern United States. He maintains his primary residence in Guilford, Connecticut, with his wife Angelina Strano.
