In Texas and I cannot even leave my $6.5K watch in my $100K truck without it being broken into and/or stolen. That is why I love Tokyo

[@ElvisSirinBo]

Tokyo's safety is evident when someone making $25 million USD per year leaves three high-end watches in a parked car without concern. Even if they were stolen, the financial impact on him would be minimal, akin to an average person losing an umbrella.

One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.

[@collinsmack]

No worries, we all start somewhere! 📈 First, grab a comfy chair and some popcorn 🍿, and dive into some beginner-friendly finance videos. Start with basics like "investing for dummies" and "how to trade stocks 101." When you're ready for more, also consider financial advisor like "MARGARET ELLEN WHITLOCK"-I came across her in a CNBC interview, she's like the Yoda of finance! May the gains be with you! 🚀💰

[@charlene6306]

Honestly, this is your best video yet. Why? Coz you really asked the questions the viewers wanted to know. It showed you have a real knack for off the cuff interviews. That’s a skill More of this and longer

[@user-ul5wq3kv4p]

That last guy is the the type of people we need in our world. People that think about solving other peoples problem and then about the money. 9:27 "money goes last for me" So key things I guess I learned : passion to do something. Turning that passion into something that will help the people around you.

[@lifewithmochi]

Bro this is one of your best videos yet! I know I’ve told you before but wow your interviewing skills are incredible! You ask amazing questions and your overall skills with people is crazy impressive! Keep the great content coming bro!

[@GoldenEraPharaoh]

[@richardboholst8319]

For someone who wants to start a business like me, this is so helpful thanks for this video, for me the first guy's advice is the best!

[@lucablocca9155]

I love this kind of video. It is very interesting thank you so much😊😊 ❤💯❤💯

[@alexhaynes1475]

Your vids are straight 🔥 bro. Keep it up

[@AnthonyJustice-i9x]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

[@chaz4610]

Woah for real? I'm so excited. Charlotte Miller strategy has normalised winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started

[@mikesnoek]

I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

[@jadewashington7]

The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $5500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

[@marthasteward0]

I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?

[@ForwardMozell]

I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills

[@JFajardo98]

I appreciate all the interviews but the last one when he said focusing on how they can make his clients happy and money will soon follow resonated. I wonder if studies are already being done on the thriving entrepreneur industry in Japan.

[@Kaizoushin]

You went to the right neighborhoods lol I used to work at Giroppon HIlls and it completely numbed me to seeing supercars every day. It took something special like a Toyota 2000GT or a Lotus Esprit V8 to turn my head.

[@chuongtuan1983]

I love the way first guy sharing.

[@sakurachristineito6428]

Actually the best places to meet secret bilionaires in Japan are in their offices & homes. They don't really go out driving flashy supercars, they only go to work, have meetings in like other people's offices or in restaurants & then go home.

[@rellg.2607]

The only biggest achievement I have ever made so far in my life is earning my pilot license. I want to be a secret billionaire, but help not only myself but others.

[@danielkocian3709]

Everyone’s becoming a pilot now. There’s gonna be some serious job cuts in the future. Our program with American Airlines is cancelling future cadets and closing school.

[@rellg.2607]

It is okay if everyone is becoming a pilot. Mine is just PPL. I prefer the medical field. There will always be lots of jobs out there for US registered nurses and medical doctors all over the world.

[@ahmedsalim571]

Bro that’s a great achievement Already

[@reaganmugisha2848]

bro i love your content. Love from Uganda

[@zazzalo]

I wish they went more in depth about what they actually do than just “consulting” and “auto industry.” Especially the consulting guy since he makes so much but I get it, Japan is a very private country.

[@TheSituuazn]

No handouts, you got to keep researching

[@Johnne009]

8 years to reach 25mil annually is highly sus

[@jausdfiqwd]

It's not just Japan, it's all around the world. Why would they share their secrets if it would mean more competition or losing the edge? One thing amongst millionaires (and I know several) is that their mind is the same, so this video shows the mindset is way different to those people who work 9-5 and choose that lifestyle.

[@zazzalo]

@@jausdfiqwd lol do you really think people can replicate what they do if they share what they do? Ok, let’s say they do drop shipping and make millions. Go do it. There’s a stark difference in knowing how to do something and just knowing something exists. Let alone, most people don’t even start.

[@cryptomane1]

[@jkgmgt]

I like useful videos about Japan that are not tourism related

[@Stayprincipled]

Can you make a video about how the super rich in Japan navigate the japanese tax system, since with the amount of money that often is flaunted in your clips, they would be liable to 40% incomtax, not to mention the national helth insurance. and if trading stockmarket they would also be liable for futures earingins taxsation. I think that would be a phenomenal episode!

[@WANDERER0070]

Selin supercars makes easy money no doubt,,however cars dealers in the west are known as Stealerships for good reason

[@sonicase]

pretty good vid

[@keepwondering_]

Many people don’t know that in Japan, you’re not allowed to work for yourself besides having a 9-5. It’s either one of the two, so what’s extra interesting is that these people as far as i’ve seen all come from normal jobs and went all in. Great interviews!

[@strauss7151]

So people aren't allowed to have side gigs? Is that a law or a company requirement?

I think you should be a bit more carefull in these videos with how you glorify rich people. While there are rich people who work there way up, becoming rich almost always has a degree of luck involved and for some people it's just being born in the right circumstances. Also it is important to note that the economic systems in which our society's function today are not at all fair.

[@strauss7151]

The first guy explains a typical person who has ambitious goals to never give up through struggles and become successful. That's me in many ways but not that rich, I'm 40 and its funny how like him in my early 30's things started to become clear of what you should do to have a better future.
