What the fuck are all of these "serial entrepreneurs" on Instagram ACTUALLY doing?
These guys have millions in exotic cars, travel all over the country but never post anything related to their business. The only hint of where all this money comes from is that they say they are "entrepreneurs"
Most of them are apparently dropouts who never even went to college.
Why are they so secretive about their businesses?
> pic related owns several million in cars, recently purchased a Lamborghini Aventador SV ($530,000) and goes to car meets. Never says anything about his business other than posting motivational things to Instagram.

I did some more digging and apparently this guy made his millions off an app.
I'm guessing his success falls into the realm of lottery winners at this point? He certainly doesn't program himself, so I'm guessing he just got an "idea" and marketed the shit out of something

3 heuristics, but first 2 are most important
1. people who run scams are more likely to show off their flashy money and cars etc than people who run legit businesses. that insecurity is part of what drives us. we want the nice cars and the fame and power etc
2. people who run legit businesses are typically proud to advertise them, or at least show them off to the world as they have built something they are proud of.
3. college dropout. scamming people isn't really hard. inventing new biotech is.
so when you see someone on instagram showing off fancy cars, saying they are an internet entreprenuer, but not revealing how, or being very vague, they are probably a scammer.

The last comment on his IG refers to "IM?"
IM stands for internet marketing.
Internet marketing plus luxury cars equals scamming people.

Even if he did that, he still did better then you.
Everything in business comes down to marketing, so I'd say its much more than just lottery luck.

I understand that but I'm just confused as to where the scam comes in.
is it just like a Nigeria-tier scam for mentally disabled people?
This is kind of off-topic but I checked out the Twitter profiles of a few Black people I went to highschool with. They ALWAYS "retweet" those posts that are like "RETWEET AND FOLLOW TO GET A CHANCE TO WIN AN IPHONE 9", shit like that.

no, by scams i mean deceptive billing or deceptive advertising.
Everyone falls for them. you get some charges on your phone bill or cc bill that you didn't realize you were authorizing, or that you didn't authorize, or that you did but the product doesn't do what it claimed to, or to the extent that it claimed it would, or it does but next month it automatically re-ships, etc, ad infinitum.
