1. A Fake Boat Trip
In 2006, a man named Edouard de Montjoye took a group of tourists on a boat trip in the Mediterranean Sea. However, the trip was not what it seemed. De Montjoye was actually taking the tourists on a fake boat trip. He had rented a boat and hired a captain to take the tourists around for a day. However, the captain was not real and the boat was not seaworthy.
De Montjoye charged the tourists $5,000 for the trip. He made over $200,000 from the fake boat trip before he was caught.
2. A Family’s Lottery Win
In 2017, a family from Massachusetts won the lottery. They won $758 million, the largest jackpot in history at the time. The family chose to remain anonymous, but they did say that they planned to use the money to help their community.
The family’s story is an incredible example of how people can make money in very strange ways. While most people will never win the lottery, this family’s story shows that it is possible to make a lot of money in unexpected ways.
