Crazy John’s founder John Ilhan dead at 42. The Aussie mobile phone entrepreneur was estimated by BRW to be worth $310 million.
I’m stunned at the moment, the news reports say he died of an apparent heart attack while walking this morning. Looking at his recent philanthropic efforts I think he died too soon.
It reinforced for me that work/life balance is important. Even when business gets crazy, it’s important to take time to enjoy the journey.

It is a tragedy about Crazy John passing so young. His generosity will be sadly missed. I do wish his young family and friends all the best in their grieving. He was a true leader.

I never met John Ilhan however, being my idol I will always look up to him no matter what. I believe he was too young with the success that he has accomplishedover the years. I wish all the best for his family including his young wife and children.
