How did he make so much money selling bootleg men's clothing?

Oh, hey Mark!

>>81840380
I honestly highly doubt that was how he made all his money

>I'm selling dees fine lehder jahckets...

>>81840380
oh wait I never knew he was rich

>>81840380
He would harvest organs and sell them on the black market back in his home country

>>81840380
>>81841683
Around the time Tommy was doing it, importing cheap Asian clothing and selling them in the west was something that people were making a lot of money with. It's not unthinkable he did the same.

Besides that, he has some rich old ladies who treat him like he's their retarded son and spoil him.

>>81840380
can you write how much he made, please

>>81842176
he probably is their retarded son and was some botched in vitro fertilization from all of them combined into one retard who was destined to make so bad its good movies

>>81840380
Is the disaster artist worth a read?

He rented out some apartments in his huge warehouse too.

>>81842832
Yeah.

>>81840380
I knew a guy who sold fake trademarked clothing like Tommy Hilfiger and other low class brands. He made a killing off it.

He's a police officer now.

A better question is why a man who supposedly made millions selling clothing couldn't find any clothes that fit him. In every scene he looks like a kid wearing oversized clothes that his parents bought big so he would grow into them.

Imagine making so much money and instead of spending it on house, cars, girls or hobbies you spend it on making a movie that is so bad it becomes a cult classic

He's a human trafficker, part of Pizzagate

My brother's friend is actually buddies with Tommy. This mother fucker actually gets together with a group of people and they all go watch this movie. That fucker actually goes to watch his own movie with a ton of people. What a gangster.

>>81843603
Yeah, he could have thrown it away.

He can't really speak.
He looks like a corpse.
He's never acted a day in his life.
Nobody wanted to make his stupid movie.
He could have just spent the rest of his days frying his brain (more), sniffing racing-grade high octane gasoline and doing lines off moderate rich Ukrainian girl's tits on a yacht.

But this man had a dream.
He wrote the story
He directed every shot
He produced this whole thing on his own budget
He pretended to be sexually attracted to a chubby girl who looks like she smells like cheese and dried saliva.
He got the means together to distribute all this
And when everyone said it was shit,
he laughed.

God bless you Tommy Wiseau, if only we could all be so wise.

Was there a deeper meaning to the dog in the beginning or was it just to establish Tommy as animal friendly?
Is the reason it was a dog and not a cat hinting as Tommy as a loyal person?

>>81845975
In the disaster artist Tommy has frequent conversations with an older women Greg never meets, she is actually one of the people accredited with producing the film
He also accredits another person who was Tommy's mentor and possibly in the mob
It can be assumed some of his money comes from these two people

>>81846311
I think it was just supposed to show Johnny's need to care for people (and animals) around him to the point of fault. Masterful characterization.

Liken the dog to his treatment of Denny, or even Lisa for that matter.

>>81840380
Like the Joker, Tommy tells a slightly different origin story every time

>>81842832
Its good but Greg should have known that no one would give a shit about him doing Puppet Master sequels

>>81843485
He didn't get that big promotion you know

>>81846539
He is not that great of an actor anyway and I think he realized that towards the end of the book

>>81840380
He didn't. Drew Caffrey set him up with some San Francisco real estate which he sold for millions. He reinvested that money in more real estate. He probably also had sugar mama named chloe when he moved to the states.

It's never stated outright, but in the Disaster Artist, you can tell that Tommy is just a character that he and Greg came up with

She died too before the film was released. I get the idea that she was just someone who helped Tommy with money sometimes.

when you import bootleg goods you use that as a front. your shipping container will be 85% front, 15% illicit. He was either smuggling people, endangered animals, drugs, electronics, etc. Plus he had alleged mob connections, so he was laundering money left and right.

It's clearly a The Room dvd cover he put on a banner to advertise.

Does The Neigbors have the same quirky appeal as The Room or is it just boring. I also know Tommy did a comedy short, an Urban Outfitters commercial, a little Channel 101 stuff, and maybe other shit as well. What is essential Wiseaucore?

lie to people about where your money comes from

have retarded arts students believe your stories because they grow up sheltered and don't ever question anything

then have one of them write a story about your lies and you just run with it because nobody can prove otherwise

A few possibilities

1. Money laundering
2. German citizen tax scheme shenanigans.
3. The Producers!


For anyone that hasn't seen the producers:

Step 1: We find the worst play ever written.
Step 2: We hire the worst director in town.
Step 3: We raise two million dollars. ... One for me, one for you. There's a lot of little old ladies out there!
Step 4: We hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway and before you can say
Step 5: We close on Broadway, take our two million, and go to Rio.
This all works because for each of your 30 investors you promise 50% stake in the profits, which impossibly adds up to 1500%. But when the movie bombs, they get nothing and you keep the money.

I'd guess the Mob connections ran the scam, the old ladies were the ones being tricked, and Tommy Wiseau was simply the patsy who was the worst director on earth.

>>81854321
Yeah it was probably just a basic fraud

>>81854321
If it's a 'Producers'-style scheme then he's fucked because it's done pretty well for a shitty no-budget flick with limited release.

>>81854481
Well it's hard to say who exactly, if anyone, was left holding the bag when that shoe dropped. For all we know, Tommy might have never had any money on paper.

The "Producers" explanation makes no sense because it was all Tommy's money. No one met any of the other supposed producers, and everything seemed to be coming out of Tommy's personal account. His bank even knew him by sight and were willing to acknowledge he had tons of money. Plus, Greg has seen a bunch of Tommy's properties, which he owned before this supposed scam would have taken place.
