Don Wenner isn't your typical real estate mogul. Growing up with teenage parents and moving 37 times before age 17, he developed an extraordinary resilience and faith that would become the foundation of his $4 billion investment empire.
From his unexpected entry into real estate at age 20 to building one of America's fastest-growing private companies for 13 consecutive years, Wenner's story defies conventional business wisdom. What sets him apart isn't just his impressive growth metrics—it's his unwavering commitment to purpose. "Too much is given, much is required" serves as both his guiding verse and business philosophy.
At DLP Capital, affordable housing isn't simply an investment strategy—it's the starting point for community transformation. Wenner's approach tackles both housing affordability and what he calls "the loneliness epidemic" by creating environments where residents truly know their neighbors. With thoughtfully designed apartment communities across 17 states featuring full amenities, onsite ministry resources, and programming from Bible studies to financial literacy classes, DLP builds genuine connections that benefit residents while delivering exceptional returns to 3,500 investor families.
Most revolutionary is Wenner's perspective on business itself. "Business is ministry," he asserts, noting that employees spend 94 times more hours at work than church, giving business leaders unprecedented opportunity for positive impact. His "Lion Chaser Manifesto" challenges entrepreneurs to pursue dreams so ambitious they require divine intervention—not just for personal success but to transform lives through thriving communities.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, real estate professional, or purpose-driven investor, Wenner's insights provide a blueprint for building organizations that generate both profits and meaningful impact.
