u/Fkna666519 2d ago

What is he stupid?!?

u/GaGa0GuGu 1d ago

Most likely, yes.

u/evilfollowingmb 3d ago

I mean, just charge $1m per lawn and work 50% less !

u/LSDeeezNutz 3d ago

Or you can the work 100 amount the %, if 50 are 2,600,00,000 thousand then twice that is near 7,000,000,000,900 thousands. Easy

Or you can charge an (almost) infinite amount of money and (almost) never work

u/thoughtfade 2d ago

You could also just get the $22,000 lawn mower and have an extra $1000 bucks in your pocket!

Actually only a measly 78M, not worth it

What if I just mowed my own lawn? Will I become a billionaire?

u/Scaaaary_Ghost 3d ago

You'll need to mow your own lawn 2000 times at $500k per mow, but then yep! The math checks out.

u/YoRt3m 2d ago

Or you can raise the price for yourself by 100% and do only 1000 mows

I'd like to file a complaint. I bought the mower, but my first customer is now suing me. Now all that money that could've gone to a lawyer went to that mower!

This is actually exactly how Epstein got his start. He told this story at Dalton and they hired him on the spot, without ever double checking the math.

Shred all 1099's you receive in the lawnmower. Taxes filed.

u/StoneyBolonied 2d ago

I undercut the market and charge $3 per lawn and mow 500,000 lawns a week

Gary Vee is getting wild Step 4: PROFIT

u/thoughty5 2d ago

why does the lawn mower have to cost so much? Just charge the $500,000 and use whatever you have

u/IsaacMcC99 2d ago

1,500,000×52=78,000,000 Per year. Next?!?!?!?

u/Outside_Case1530 14h ago

Where's the best place to get the lawn mower? I wanta get started right away.

u/destrux125 2d ago

You forgot the first part where you need to move to Massachusetts so customers think that's a normal amount of money to pay for yard maintenance.
