Imagine having rich ass parents who buy you everything and then selling what they bought you. Such a hard business
You are not a sneaker head are you? He got shoes resold them and bought more shoes and resold those

Like I said, did you not watch the video? He built that business by himself.
So what if he's rich? I guarantee about 95% of rich kids are lazy fucks that don't do shit. He could very well be rich and decide to sit on his ass playing video games all day, but he didn't.

Paradise Prod I see where you're coming from, but he's pretty much the same as Donald Trump. He pretty much started with a big start, and hardly had to work towards what he has now, it's not that different from this kid. What he's doing isn't that hard to do, and there's tons of resellers that have accomplished more than him and started from nothing.
but donald already went to school, graduated everything, this kid started at 14-15 thats crazy

Don't explain yourself to this kid. He doesn't get it lol.

This is called getting rich without actually doing anything difficult.It makes me wonder how people work so hard to make a living and on the other hand there are some people who get rich without actually doing anything.

No a rich kid that did something with his parents blessings
Penny wise it's facts tho
+Team Wolf created and funded are two entirely different things
If you seriously think he didn't get funded by his parents you're shot. Respect the kids hustle but seriously he goes to the richest private schools in Miami
Jacob Jacobs If you watched the vid, he said his parents funded him until middle school. 6th grade to be exact
his father has connections with very rich people which is how he met dj khalid. if he had no connections he wouldnt have been able to sell to rappers, get exposure, and blow up

@@realprisec no u
Prisec I know what work is yes, but I would bet that he was assing around on social media or texting instead of work. That doesnât lead to motivation.
Solaxe but shit he still making more money they your ass lmao quit hating on the kid bet 80% of yâall canât do this shit
Ok boomer
He's doing what every other sneaker head has already done for years; buying low, selling high. The only difference is that he's from a rich family, so he did it on a bigger scale. While other people were doing the same exact shit as him, they were only able to cop 1-2 pairs. This kid bought at least 10x that amount.
Fun fact-this kid got arrested a year ago for Robbin a bank in miami

Dont forget the fact that his parents were rich and payed celebs to meet their child
No proof he started rich
AToxicDart 2.0 his parents are rich lol and he said they funded his collection in the begging but stopped enough proof for me :|
matthew if u dont live in a cave u would know that he said it himself that his parents helped him like 100x and no lmao why would I be jealous, my dad just sold his company for $6.5M. Not trying to flex but I respect others too
I don't see why everyone is hating on this guy, when he used his parents wealth to start a career of his own.
Small loan of a million dollars!
Small loan of million Sneakers!
Awesome! His family might be rich but they didn't sponsor him. He made it himself! Good job brother
only a small loan of a million dollars
How can you prove this?

No one just hangs out with dj kahled unless they're of some prominent status. The kid clearly comes from a rich ass family. All he's doing is taking advantage of the family resources and opportunities that are handed to him. Still awesome for him, but is it that amazing? No
John Jacob are you triggerd, YES
No. he was already a rich ass kid. he didnt make his family into millionaires. He really doesnt need to do this. his family probably already is rich out the ass without his "business"

Your real dad so? At least he ain't bummin around he's actually supporting himself and doing sum.
did you even watch the video
Whos here after he got arrested?
I remember watching this video when it first came out
Myself and others have been doing this since middle school lol we're on our way to college now, but it's a blessing that dude has that kind of popularity.

Nowadays heâs getting arrested for robbery charges!
Sure he works hard, but his parents probably pay people that work for them to stand in line for him to buy those sneakers when he started. No kid has $1-2k lying around to buy shoes, nor the "gumption"l to have friends stand in line to buy sneakers for them and then money to pay them to do that, and at the end of it be able to flip the shoes to the right people and make money after ebay fees, taxes, shipping, and insurance. He had all the right connections and money at the beginning, and his dad is probably a sports agent.
I agree. Me I do the reselling my self from a middle class family have to work my way up. That fact this kid has like 3-4K to start with is kinda unfair to the people actually starting from the bottom but hey as a 14 year old starting with nothing I've made around 950 profit in a 2-3 months

+jake nenni ah thank you for agreeing
I had no idea who this kid was until this video,i think i watched this twice and i still forgot about him
Dope video
His concept is very simple, most people can figure that out. The most important thing is funding, if u don't even have the money to start, that is it. All of this is his family, I am not saying this because I am jealous, most people can buy in sneakers and sell it at higher price but it's extremely hard to make it big. There's only 1 requirement to expand the business to the size like him, and that is money. This is all simple logic of business and how moneys run.

you know of course he has the help from his parents, but at least he isn't sitting around in delicacy of his money, he is actually trying to do something with himself. it doesn't matter what type of "platform" you start on if you want to achieve something just do it.
Anyone can start a business if they born rich.
No
Yati Channel well yes and no.
I mean if ur rich u probably have smart ass parents that teach you and u can easily do it.

Hella jealous but very happy that this kid is making money whilst still getting a education at such a young age. Mad props
He's actually 20 right now time goes by so fast
KOD ANONYMOUS no heâs not you stupid idiot
Benjamin is the ultimate plug
I like how he comes from a good family but doesn't live off of them he made up his own business and he's young doing things that other teenagers couldn't imagine
customer: h-h-hey mman y-y-ou got them new (scratches neck) j-j-jordans
dealer: yeah man here you go
customer puts on shoes and feels like he's in a different universe
Guys he is legitimately hardworking most of his shoe collection are limited edition so there are only are few so he has to camp before the actual day of sale and then he resells at a higher price and earning a huge profit.Why else would people buy it from him
Him: I grew up in the hood
His hood: đđ đĄ
Even if some people say his family is rich, theres still no taking away what he has accomplished at such an age.
It wouldn't be easy without that money from his family.
most kids his age focus on school thats why
he doesn't need to cuz he already rich so he can do what he want
BennyC023 anyone could do this it's not actually skilful just not everyone has a rich family
BennyC023 I could've accomplished the same thing. All you need is money.

So how did this kid even start?
rich parents
