Primary-sourced advertising

The most recent edit turned what was already a puff piece into a Cardone-fest sourced by Cardone's websites and affiliated-websites, and violating WP:SELFPUB. These include:

gctv.com
cardoneondemand.com
cardonecapital.com
cardoneventures.com
grantcardone.com
grantcardonefoundation.com
10xgrowthcon.com

Several links were inserted into the article that violate WP:EXTLINK, including:

as well as several press releases by Cardone (WP:PRIMARY) including:

At least 3 citations point to Forbes contributors, which are considered "generally unreliable" per WP:RSP:

The entire "Legal issues" section was removed along with all its sources:

Ortega, Tony (August 12, 2016). "Former workers file EEOC complaints saying Grant Cardone forced Scientology on them".
Warren, Tom (July 20, 2023). "Financial Influencer Grant Cardone Says He Can Make You A Billionaire. His Investors Claim He Defrauded Them". HuffPost.
"Cardone's Lake Worth workforce housing complex found overcharging tenants". The Real Deal. December 13, 2022.
Bandell, Brian (December 23, 2022). "Court revives lawsuit against 10X wealth guru Grant Cardone". South Florida Business Journal.
Alvarado, Francisco (December 28, 2022). "Grant Cardone is back on the hook in a class action suit". The Real Deal.

The entire effort constructed an article based almost entirely on self-published sources, and violates WP:PROMOTION.
