How I Turned $1,200 into $2.8 Billion (Steve Madden)

[@slara305]

Steve Madden is the coolest person. I got to meet him at a publicity event when I was 15. He asked one of his models to pull me out of the crowd and gifted me my first pair of heels. He said hi to me gave me a shirt with his favorite slogan "Progress not Perfection" and told me to look around and pick my favorite of his shoes and that it was his gift to me. I still have the picture and the heels. Saving them now to gift to my daughter when she turns 13. Sweetest guy!

[@slara305]

I love that he's a dad now!! He definitely had a cool dad vibe.

When you have had everything and you have money, the concept of happiness is different for those of us who have not had money and we dream about it every day.

Kanye said it best ‘having money isn’t everything but not having it is’. Money is undeniably important but there’s a certain cut off point where you can do everything you want to do and more money is meaningless

[@brettconti]

Amen.

[@irmakalember3709]

Don’t trust Kanye that guy. Is crazy. His mind is all over.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

For some people, they do hold onto the belief that money can buy happiness...but not for too long. Everything in this world is temporary, and it can be difficult to accept it.

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Being broke and penniless especially never ever brings you happiness

[@viktorgadany7595]

A feel good feeling to help those less fortunate and to give to ones favorite charities. 💴 💰

[@bpetvshow]

Thanks Steve for taking out to chat with us. You are absolutely correct, no amount of money can’t buy happiness

[@giannishen]

This is a very inspirational episode, you are awesome to be able to interview such a famous person! You have a sentence that impresses me, you are right, happiness truly can only come from within! And that sentence echoes what Steve said, money can't buy happiness and love, which means money can't buy everything! You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍😄👏

[@brettconti]

Thanks for the comment Gianni! Glad you enjoyed and got some valuable info from it.

[@giannishen]

@@brettconti It is my honor, thanks to you too! You are awesome, wish you the best! Take care! 😄🙏

[@letsrolloutnyc]

This was an amazing and inspirational video Brett. Keep up with the amazing videos 💪🏽

[@brettconti]

Thank you! I’ll be home for August, hope to see you 🤝

[@letsrolloutnyc]

@@brettconti yeah for sure 🙏🏽

[@irmakalember3709]

I think it does. It sure makes life easier and less stressful.

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Exactly, I definitely do agree wholeheartedly 💯

[@karimcalled]

There’s a certain line in how much you make that’s different for everybody that, once you make more than the line, your life will go downhill. Too much money is just as bad as too little. The perfect amount is not having to worry about bills but also not having the greed to want more on top of your great wealth

[@irmakalember3709]

@@karimcalled well true. Too much or anything can be bad.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

Happy Sunday Brett! Great video as always

[@flybid301]

Saved yall 13 minutes, the answer is yes, yes it does

[@evanreiter747]

Money makes who you more of who you are. If you are a kind you will be a kinder person

[@NewHaven203]

It’s insane you got to talk to a billionaire! Knowing how busy they are and not every billionaire has the time for interviews this is huge! Wolf of Wall Street is in my top 5 for favorite movies of all time!

[@veronica.calabrese]

[@brettconti]

Thank you Jessica : )

[@michaelbowers3946]

As always, I really enjoy your videos. You should travel the Country and do meet and greets. I'd love to meet you someday.

[@raerae1878]

Doesn't buy happiness but allows you to shop for things that may make you happy - David meltzer lost 100m then gained it back and some! Have a great day!

Got a job in a shoe store, said it was just during high school; got a redhead pregnant. 2/3= Steve Madden, 3/3= Al Bundy; never go full shoe store.

[@highlevels6024]

[@robyn_southafrica]

Not only is Steve Madden one handsome son of a gun, his voice is as sexy as his shoes🤤😍 OMG i think i'm in love 😅😅😍😍🔥🔥 Its almost pay day so i'm gonna get that book 😁😁 Great video Brett! 😃

[@ozan2770]

"Hey Brett, can I be in your vlog?" I'm a fan of you from Turkey. Meeting you is one of my dreams. The city I want to see most in the world is New York. And meeting you in this city is really my dream. Because I really love your videos. You are a very successful person. For now, I could not fulfill my dream. But I'm only dreaming It's good to dream too. 🙏

[@AmitJha-md4ht]

Nice video bro

[@alexwallace6120]

Good interview. So it's not all about the money, but boy it must be nice to earn it. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, cooperation and love etc. Good luck Brett.

[@brettconti]

Thank you Alex. Going from broke to flying on private planes sounds incredible but what I learned from chatting with Steve was how important it is to lose sight of your values and principles.

[@chasefromalabama]

I'd still rather be rich and depressed on a yacht in the Mediterranean than happy and poor in shack in the backwoods.

[@lazizsaimov4267]

Hello, this is a good video. You watch KZbin every day. When you have a new video, put a little more video. I love you video very much and it is very interesting for me.😊
