Before 5-hour ENERGY® became ubiquitous in grocery stores and gas stations, this billion-dollar company started with a simple idea. After founder Manoj Bhargava stumbled upon an energy drink formula at a health trade show in 2003, he set out to develop a better, sugar-free version to help people stay alert without the crash that most energy drinks cause.

This profile for Huntington Bank’s magazine explores how 5-Hour ENERGY achieved billions of dollars in retail sales to claim more than 88% of the energy shot market. With a pledge to give 99% of his estimated $4 billion net worth to charity, Bhargava devotes much of his time and wealth to philanthropic ventures as he aims to change the world for good.
