Lizzie Vaynerchuk Biography

Lizzie met Gary Vaynerchuk through an online dating service called ‘JDate,’ which is aimed at Jewish singles. Interestingly, Gary knew that he was with the right woman just an hour and a half into his first date with Lizzie. Gary was quick to realize that Lizzie is an independent individual, a trait which he was looking for in his then prospective wife. Many dates followed the decisive first date before the couple decided to enter wedlock after a courtship of many years. Lizzie and Gary got married on November 13, 2004, in the presence of their family and friends.

Lizzie is often credited for Gary Vaynerchuk’s enormous success. Not only is Gary a successful entrepreneur, he is also a best-selling author, speaker, internet celebrity, and notable wine critic. He was largely responsible for turning his family’s $3 million wine business into a $60 million empire. However, Gary has admitted that he could not have achieved so much without the support of his wife. According to Gary, Lizzie’s emotional and mental strength has given him the freedom to do what he wants to do. Since Lizzie does not expect much from him when it comes to handling situations at home, Gary has been able to focus solely on his career over the years.

On May 31, 2009, Lizzie and Gary were blessed with a daughter, Misha Eva Vaynerchuk. On August 17, 2012, they welcomed their second child, a son named Xander Avi Vaynerchuk. In 2012, Misha Eva was depicted on a wooden carving by popular designer CJ Hallock, who happens to be Gary’s best friend. Lizzie and Gary have a unique but rather useful method of raising their children. Unlike other parents, they encourage their kids to get accustomed to the latest gadgets and be more tech savvy. In one of his blogs, Gary had mentioned that he and his wife make sure their kids are part of the cultural shift, given the way everyone is moving towards a futuristic world. He has also credited Lizzie for being a terrific and loving mother. Being a strong and independent woman, Lizzie raises her children almost single-handedly, which provides Gary with that extra time and space.
