Born on the island of Mauritius, Orane was one of eight children. Her family immigrated to Australia when Orane was ten. As a child, she suffered from learning difficulties which ultimately led to an upbringing based on low confidence and low self-esteem. She married at 21, had four children, and was abandoned by her husband, which triggered episodes of depression and anxiety. After years of adversity, her self-esteem was near-bottom and something snapped inside her. She had no one to rely on, nowhere to turn, except inward. In her reality of survival mode, she made some dramatic changes in her life. She adopted a spirit of self-discipline, dug herself out of financial destitution and made tremendous strides in overcoming her self-esteem issues. This began a turnaround that would see her become a successful real estate investor and developer, entrepreneur and self-made millionaire.
