10 People Who Became Millionaires In The Weirdest Ways

In all honesty, it’s not that hard to become a millionaire. Quick, go away now and find one dollar, have you done that? See that wasn’t that hard was it? Now go and find 999,999 more and then you’re a millionaire – easy as that.

1. Noel Biderman.

This doesn’t really look like the face of a millionaire, more like the face of a sex offender and that’s kind of in the right ball park because Neil took all the sleaziness he could muster (which is probably a lot) and created the AshleyMadison dating website that put together married people who wanted to cheat on their spouses with…other married people – because married people are all about ruining as many families as possible. Before their problems with internet hacking, AshleyMadison had 37 million users – mostly male.

2. Cameron Johnson.

Johnson looks like your kid brother just put a suit on, dumped a bottle of Brylcreem on his head and went to a job interview he really wasn’t qualified for. How did he make his money you ask? By selling his sister’s toys of course, more specifically her Beanie Babies. This allowed him to start an email forwarding company that made him a millionaire by the time he left high school.

3. Matthew Osborn.

You want to know how to become rich? Think in terms of sh*t and you’ll do fine – dog sh*t that is. See, Osborn had a dream and that dream involved being paid to scoop up your dog’s poo and suddenly a millionaire was made.

4. Phil Ozersky.

In 1998 it really would have paid to be in Phil Ozersky’s seat as St. Louis Cardinal’s power hitter Mark McGuire smashed his 70th home run of the season breaking the all time record. Ozersky was in the stands and ended up catching that very ball and later scored $3 million for the baseball when he sold it.

5. Frank Warren.

Frank Warren is what you might call a ‘smart cookie’. The guy started a business called Post Secret where he would ask people to send him postcards with their secrets on the back. After gathering up the secrets he turned them into books and has been at the top of the bestseller list five times and made millions, all because of other people’s secrets.

6. Blake Mycoskie.

This is the type of guy you’re happy for when he makes a fortune because he’s also kind of a great guy. Mycoskie created TOMS shoes, which makes money but also helps the needy. You see TOMS has a”one for one” policy, which means that for every pair of shoes they sell, they give away another pair to those that are most in need and if he happens to become insanely rich in the process, all power to the guy.

7. Johnny Earle.

Earle basically just sells t-shirts but like any good idea, he does his selling  a bit differently. Earle makes his stores smell like vanilla, displays his shirts in ovens and when a sale is made, the customer takes home their new shirt in a pastry box.

8. Jason Sadler.

Jase the Ace as his friends call him (probably), looks like the offspring that would result if Sloth from The Goonies and a Guess Who character had a baby (We’re talking about you Joe). Sadler’s business idea sounds dumb (walking around town with a company’s shirt on and posting about them on social media) but it made him a millionaire in just four short years.

9. The Robertsons.

Meet the Robertsons, the Duck Dynasty family that have made millions from…ducks. Specifically manufacturing and selling duck calls under the Duck Commander business. Their show also broke ratings on A&E drawing a staggering 11.8 million viewers for their fourth season premiere – this family has a lot of money.

10. Jenna Marbles.

Jenna is a YouTube star whose videos have been viewed an incredible 14 billion times. All this adds up to cold hard cash in the form of advertising revenue and Jenna Marbles has become a millionaire by simply talking on camera to a bunch of people on the internet – it also helps that she’s a good looking girl.
