Beyond the Spotlight: How Derik Fay Quietly Became the Power Player Behind Celebrity Wealth

In a world where fame often overshadows financial sense, Derik Fay has carved out a unique role: the silent force guiding celebrities and athletes through some of the most critical financial decisions of their lives. While others chase headlines, Fay builds legacies — and not just his own.

A self-made entrepreneur, investor, and strategic advisor, Fay’s journey from modest beginnings in Rhode Island to managing portfolios for A-listers is rooted in something rare: trust. And that trust was earned, not given.

Long before his name appeared in Forbes or alongside NFL legends, Fay was mastering the art of opportunity — spotting undervalued assets, structuring zero-down deals, and flipping value where others saw risk. But it wasn’t just his financial IQ that set him apart. It was his approach.

“I’m not here to impress anyone,” Fay once said. “I’m here to protect their future.” That mentality is exactly why high-profile clients—from Super Bowl veterans to celebrities navigating career pivots—call on him when the stakes are highest.

The challenges facing athletes and entertainers are unique. Careers peak early, income streams fluctuate, and everyone wants a piece. Fay doesn’t just manage money; he mentors. He guides his clients away from flashy distractions and toward lasting financial ecosystems.

His strategy is rooted in caution, patience, and precision. “When in doubt, do nothing,” he famously told Forbes—a mantra that resonates in industries where acting too fast often means falling hard.

But his work isn’t just reactive. Fay actively engineers opportunities. Whether it’s advising on equity plays, launching new ventures, or steering clients into safe, scalable businesses, he helps them build wealth that outlives the spotlight.

Fay’s influence goes far beyond spreadsheets and contracts. He’s become a confidante to those who live under constant public scrutiny. In a world filled with opportunists, Fay offers something more rare: honesty.

His company, 3F Management, anchors dozens of ventures and advisory partnerships, yet his style remains personal. Quiet. Focused. And most importantly—effective.

He doesn’t brag about success stories. He builds them. One smart decision at a time.

As more public figures look for substance behind the flash, they’re finding it in Derik Fay—a man whose name may not always be in lights, but whose fingerprints are all over the legacies that last.

Sarah Mitchell stood nervously in front of the mirror contemplating the tattoo design she’d dreamed of wearing for years. Like many first-time tattoo clients, her excitement was tempered by uncertainty: would the design complement her shoulder as she imagined? Before she could further doubt, she decided to give PRIC’D a try, and to her surprise, this decision changed her uncertainty into confidence through the platform’s innovative pre-visualization technology.

Introducing a New Tattoo Experience

Many people find that getting a tattoo that doesn’t meet their expectations can be a devastating experience, both emotionally and financially. Many individuals spend months, sometimes years, planning their perfect design, only to be left with permanent artwork that fails to capture their vision. Clients often feel disappointed due to misaligned placement, poor consultation, or designs that don’t translate well from paper to skin.

Entrepreneur Kayhan Kiani saw this challenge and hopes to change this experience. Under his leadership, Kiani introduced PRIC’D, a platform streamlining the traditional tattoo consultation process by eliminating design uncertainty and lengthy waiting times through advanced technology.

Clients can easily upload their tattoo designs, visualize them directly on a digital 3D model that matches their unique skin tone, and preview exactly how the artwork will appear on their body.

With this interactive 3D tattoo preview, clients have the flexibility to proceed, request specific adjustments, or explore entirely new design options. Once the final design is chosen, they receive an instant, accurate quote and can immediately book their appointment—all within the same seamless platform.

“Many clients come to us with beautiful ideas but are hesitant about committing to permanent body art without seeing how it will look on their specific body type and placement,” explains Kiani. “PRIC’D’s pre-visualization technology eliminates this uncertainty, giving clients the confidence to proceed with their dream tattoos.”

Kiani believes that when the tattoo industry combines advanced technology with artistic excellence and unwavering professional standards, it creates an experience that transforms how people approach body art.

A Personalized Approach to Body Art

PRIC’D’s pre-visualization service is part of Kiani’s comprehensive consultation process under its premier tattoo company, INK’D London. The studio balances technological innovation with artistic proficiency. Its specialized artists, including experts in realism, portraits, blackwork, fine line work, and even Japanese Neo-Trad, use this technology to help clients refine their design choices and placement options.

When clients visit INK’D London, they work closely with dedicated consultants who guide them through the design process. With PRIC’D’s real-time size, placement, and orientation adjustments, clients can confirm that each tattoo suits the client’s body and vision. Because of this, high-profile clients have made INK’D London their home, and different artist collaborations have been featured there.

Kiani mentions, “Getting a tattoo should be a fun and seamless experience. We at INK’D, London, with our new platform, PRIC’D, eliminate all the what-ifs so our clients leave the shop satisfied with their new tattoos.”

Expanding the Best Tattoo Excellence Globally

This new pre-visualization tattoo technology represents Kiani’s commitment to establishing INK’D London as a global leader in body art. Allowing clients to preview their tattoo designs directly on their skin before any permanent ink is applied addresses a common concern among tattoo enthusiasts and first-timers. This technology enhances client confidence and showcases how INK’D London and PRIC’D merge unconventional solutions with traditional artistry.

Kiani mentions, “INK’D London with PRIC’D aim to redefine the perception of tattoos as part of self-expression and fashion globally by setting consistent quality standards in all of our procedures and introducing professional tattoo services to regions where they were previously unavailable.”
