כריסטופר פול גרדנר (באנגלית: Christopher Paul Gardner; נולד ב-9 בפברואר 1954 במילווקי, ויסקונסין) הוא יזם, ממציא, סופר ונדבן אמריקאי. סיפור חייו, "The Pursuit of Happyness" ("המרדף אחרי האושר") המתאר איך הצליח להתגבר על החיים כעני מרוד בשנות ה-80 וכחסר בית, יצא לאור במאי 2006, והוא מתואר בסרט "המרדף לאושר" בו כיכב בדמותו השחקן ויל סמית'[1][2].

חייו

גרדנר גדל במשפחה אומנת. בשנות ה-80, לאחר נישואים כושלים ולאחר שהפסיד את כל הונו, מצא את עצמו ישן עם הבן הצעיר שלו בשירותי הרכבת התחתית, או במשרד אחרי שעות העבודה.

בשלב מסוים החליט גרדנר לסחור בבורסה, עבר התמחות בתחום והחל לעבוד כברוקר.[3] ב-1987 הקים חברת מניות קטנה, Gardner Rich & Co, שלימים גדלה והוא מכר נתח ממנה תמורת מיליוני דולרים. גרדנר טען שהתמדתו העיקשת והצלחתו הן תודות ל"גנים הרוחניים" שאימו העבירה לו, ובזכות הציפיות הגבוהות שבנו ובתו הקטנים הציבו לו. בהמשך, הגשים חלום אישי וקנה[4]פרארי ממייקל ג'ורדן.

גרדנר גר בשיקגו, אילינוי, שם מנהל את השקעותיו ועוסק בפילנתרופיה[5].
