becomes homeless
has health problems
quits homelessness
BOY HOWDY AIN’T THAT SOMETHIN’
Why would he quit? Surely going back to his life as a millionaire would be so much harder right? I mean, they have to earn all that money right? Why wouldn’t he stay homeless and continue resting until he was healthy again before returning to his arduous and stressful millionaire job???
The only truth behind the conventional “wisdom” that a billionaire made penniless could become a millionaire again within a year is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT upon their social capital. If you’re a famous billionaire, you’ll have people willing to throw money at your nonsense investment opportunity based purely on your name and former status.
If you’re some guy nobody’s ever heard of with some daddy money and you somehow manage to lose it all, you’re fucked. This guy will never admit he was wrong, he was simply failed due to regulation or something.
i saw a twitter thread on this and IT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. he used whatever social media pull he still had to create a startup for coffee sales or some shit.
It was a “coffee for dog lovers” business. Just the dumbest mad-libbed business bullshit you could come up with. Self-parody.
And he wasn’t even homeless because of it. He spent a night or two role-playing by sleeping in a park (do you think the police would move this guy on after he explained his ‘predicament’?) and then one of his ‘followers’ gave him an RV to live in, which he later sold back to the donor lol.
If you can just “quit” being poor, you weren’t poor.
He started out by crashing on someone’s couch, and finding all the free shit he could on facebook marketplace and craigslist and reselling it. His very first step shows how making a million dollars like that is done, by stealing everything that isn’t nailed down and extracting a profit for nothing. That’s the biggest takeaway I’m getting here. I’m sure most of those people giving things away on craigslist and facebook were thinking they were giving it to someone who would directly use it, not a vampire.
That also goes to show how not everyone can climb out of poverty. Maybe one guy can but he just pulled the ladder up by removing those resources for other people who were actually in need. A business degree haver should be aware that just because one person can acquire something at a certain price and turn a profit on it doesn’t mean that everyone can do that. That free item was available to exactly one person exactly one time.
I only object to it because he’s actually rich. If an actual homeless person could get off the streets this way, more power to them
As long as they write smug articles about it saying that homeless people are lazy because they got out of it this way, therefore there’s no excuse.
