- What's the craziest thing you've ever done for money?
These crazy stories about how some people made money are pretty wild. Do you have a story that tops these?
“So when I was younger I used to hang around a lot of athletes and entertainers at nightclubs and if they ever got fucked up I’d record videos on my phone and sell it to TMZ. They always paid at least a couple thousand but certain people would be well over $15 -$20k especially if they were married and all over some woman. They were acting up out in the open so I never felt bad about it.”
“In law school I knew a girl escorting. She didn’t
really tell anyone. Very intelligent, very beautiful Indian girl that focused on wealthy dudes in tech. Her hourly was better than most big law partners bill. I only knew about it because I helped her set up some structures for payment.” Do you think this is one of the crazy stories about how this girl made some extra money?
“When I was a poor and broke college student, I saw an ad for “studio cleaning.” I called the number, and the guy told me he’d pay me $450 to clean his studio they used for making movies. The movies were gangbang porn videos and other fetish porn videos made in a small office space/turned studio. I did it for about a year because it was quick work, but it was disgusting as hell. I made about $15K doing it. Told my friends I was cleaning houses.”
“It’s funny cause so many girls are guys “boyfriends” and “never do anything except text”, yet there are sooo many attractive sugar babies out there that will give sugar to get sugar but they all swear they don’t do anything and all their friends eat it up lol.” Do you think this is one of the crazy stories about how someone made a little extra on the side?
“I bid on city foreclosure auctions. Some lady that had financial backers taught me and some other
college kids the system for a few days. Then we sat in a room in a courthouse downtown and followed the system for a month. Raising our hands to bid against some angry old dudes that would be pissed when we beat them. It was super fun but also intimidating. I honestly had no idea exactly what we were buying or how the system worked other than everything had a rating and we could only bid certain amounts based on the ratings. We got bonuses for low prices on highly rated stuff. I made enough to not work for like a year.”
“I made the first anime/hentai shop located in Japan, selling to people around the world (URL in my profile if you’re curious). That’s worked out well. But it all started at the dawn of the Internet, when Twin Peaks got really popular in Japan. Coca-Cola made some limited Georgia coffee featuring Twin Peaks characters, which were plastered on the outside of vending machines. I stole these whenever I could find them, and had a pretty brisk business selling them for $20 each back in 1994. It made me realize the potential of the Internet.”
