Marc Ecko was brought up in Lakewood, New Jersey alongside his twin and an older sister, and is of Jewish descent. By the time he was a teenager, Ecko had turned his family’s garage into a personal design studio where he created and marketed T-shirts of his own design. After finishing high school, Marc enrolled at Rutgers University’s School of Pharmacy, and during his schooling here, he became occupied with drawing and graffiti, making “Ecko” his tag. Thanks to the school dean’s encouragement, Ecko decided to pursue his dream career during the third year of studies.

He never returned to pharmacy school, but started a T-shirt company called ecko UNLTD in 1993, and to learn more about the clothing industry, he traveled to Hong Kong. Some of his earliest clients such as Chuck D and Spike Lee helped in bringing attention to his business, and a segment in “Good Morning America” also featured his designs. As it expanded, the company started developing more and more into hip-hop and skater styles, taking a rhinoceros logo. Ecko UNLTD has since become a billion-dollar company, with full lines for young men and women, children and adults. All have added to his net worth.
