5. Get Out of a Parking Ticket by Becoming a Cop’s Side Kick
In some cities, if you get a parking ticket, you can pay to have someone else fight it for you. In Chicago, this service costs around $500. But one man found a way to get out of his parking ticket without spending a dime.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, dressed up as a superhero and waited near the cop who had issued him the ticket. When the cop saw the man in costume, he asked if he could take a picture with him. The man agreed and even offered to be the cop’s sidekick for the day.
The cop was so amused by the man’s offer that he tore up the parking ticket and let him go. The man went on his way, feeling like he’d just made a few hundred dollars in a very strange way.
6. Hosting an Underground Fight Club
In the early 2000s, a man in New York City made money by hosting an underground fight club. The fights took place in a secret location, and only a select few people knew about them. The man charged people to watch the fights, and he also sold tickets to people who wanted to bet on the outcome of the fights.
The man made a lot of money from hosting the fight club. However, it was eventually shut down by the authorities.
