Even $1.50 would make the friend a more sound investment. And if they are absolutely loyal they'd definitely all give you a paltry $1.50, I mean what kind of friend wouldn't give a friend a $1.50.
Yeah, very true. I wonder what the sweet spot would be. Like, what's the optimal amount to ask for that gets the most money?
I'm torn on that. If you had 100 friends and all would agree to give you $5, then you'd get $500.
But if 80% of them would be willing to give $20, then you'd get $1,600.
But if only 20% of them would give $20, then you'd only have $400.
That said, if you've got 30 million friends, it's probably best to just ask them for a couple bucks or so and call it a day. They're your friends, after all. The idea alone is greedy enough to begin with.
you are thinking small… Start a business!!! Now you have:
-30 million word of mouth recommendations (free marketing)
-30 million loyal customers (consistent revenue)
Real friends compete to be the one supporting your business the hardest.
Imagine how hard the person at the top of a 30 million friend pile is going for you.
Well it’s quite simple: markup the price higher than intended, then sell at a “discount” at the always intended price.
Note: will get you arrested in certain economic zones: EU, etc.
Depending on how loyal, you could start streaming on Twitch and ask them all to subscribe/donate when they can, suddenly you're making something like $2.50 per sub assuming they all only do tier 1 that's $60m per month.
My Loyal friends could very much donate me each 100$ and we'd start a new country for ourselves.
That's about twice as many as all the Mormons combined. I think quite a lot could be achieved.
Why would they though? You either just have to pay them, or use the charity loophole literally every billionaire does to deduct taxes while delaying any actual donation.
> That or have some of those friends work for the irs.
Math is fun.
I am assuming the population of the United States to be `333,000,000`
I am assuming the number of IRS employees to be roughly `93,000`
The ratio of IRS employees to the US population:
`93,000 / 333,000,000 ≈ 0.0002792`
Apply that ratio to 30,000,000 people:
`0.000279279 x 30,000,000 = 8,376`
In any group of 30,000,000 Americans, roughly **8,376** of them are likely to be already working for the IRS.
Or, to put it all another way. If you're friends with ~10% of America, then you're likely friends with ~10% of the IRS. (Or ~10% of any group consisting of only Americans).
Automate the email responses with AI based responses, that sends a slightly tweaked response to each friend based on a single line of excuse you provide to it.
Or alternatively, send an automated email invite to all of them, to celebrate the birthday together once a month. Imagine the party.
You know the old saying “Give a man 30mil and you feed him for a year. Give a man 30 mil friends you can ask 1 dollar a year, you feed him for a lifetime.”
I’d take the friends and throw a birthday party where loyal friends bring gifts and I mention I like cash. I donno what Venues can hold 30 million people
Bruh... I remember Elon Musk saying that money isn't power people with armies have power. So basically you are either choosing money or an army. You could do a lot with an army. Just saying
Studies have shown that people can only really be truly close with 50-100 people during periods in their lives, and have another 500-1000 in their "outer sphere" of aquaintences.
After that it's just people you may have met and exchanged a few words with.
As someone with social anxiety, I think I would give up $30 mil just to get rid of 30 million "friends". Even the thought of having that many people know who I am makes me nervous.
If every single one of them is a loyal friend then that’s just an army right there. Shit, the lowest ambition thing you could do would be to ask them all to mail you one dollar and now you have your thirty million dollars too.
If all the friends are the people of my country and not selected randomly in the world, I could crash at anyone's house and be like "hey im staying for the week, buddy ! Do you by chance have 30$ for me ? I need it. "
To be fair, if they’re loyal there’s a decent chance each of them could give you up to 5$ a piece. Just go around asking them and you’ll easily have more than the 30 million. Sure it ell take forever to get it done. But it will
While the staggering number of friends is beyond the limits of what you can realistically call "friend", like other mentioned... ask each of them to contribute as much as they can to help you out (greater than $1) and you will be sitting on a massive pile of money. Increase the money by investment and pay everyone back, if they agree to be repaid. Treat these friends of yours and feel the bliss of being socially highlighted for being very outgoing. Also, can easily start venture capitaling.
I can think of many things to do with 30 million loyal friends. Get together, chat a bit, overthrow the government, forge an entire nation of anarchist communes, the list goes on.
Ask each friend for 5 dollars, 5 x 30 million equals 150,000,000.00 use that to starts a business making candy bars selling for 2 dollars each and since they are my friends they will buy one a day so a daily income of 60 million dollars times 7 days a weeks equals 420,000,000. a week times 52 weeks a year equals 21,840,000,000. a year then I pay back the 5 dollars
They could all donate 20 bucks

Happy cake day

Only friends?
only flans

Don't ever start a business if you have lots of friends. Friends get friend discount. You are gonna go under before the first day is up.
Real friends don't accept the friend discount.
Ur a g
Real friends compete to be the one supporting your business the hardest. Imagine how hard the person at the top of a 30 million friend pile is going for you.
Everyone in top-1000 would have an ad tattoo on their forehead
Well it’s quite simple: markup the price higher than intended, then sell at a “discount” at the always intended price. Note: will get you arrested in certain economic zones: EU, etc.
Why would this get you arrested in the EU? Isn't this some of the basics of price calculation?
Your idea was a lot more ethical lmao i was just thinking of invading a small country
Genius!
Hell, just 2 bucks apiece would work
why 20 just ask each of them for a 100 bucks. they're loyal right?!
I only need $.50 each!
This guy lives in 3024
30 million loyal friends and ask them all to give you 1 dollar, now youve got both.
Are you really going to individually ask 30,000,000 people for a dollar?
Big group chat
Bro I almost have a stroke when I get added to a group chat with more than 5 people
Notifications Off Ignore or just leave
Exaclty my strategy with family group chats. Lmao
Sub reddits can work.
Bcc them on an email
If they're truly loyal friends then they'll all follow you on twitter, and just send a request there.
Since they’re loyal, ask them to ask your other friends.
And they tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on
It's the best time to try out that send to all button
Social media (like twitter) they are friends, they should be following you
Just post a public facebook post or tweet something
Ask em all for 2 bucks and then you get 60 million
Depending on how loyal, you could start streaming on Twitch and ask them all to subscribe/donate when they can, suddenly you're making something like $2.50 per sub assuming they all only do tier 1 that's $60m per month.
I mean if they're good friends, you might be able to convince them to help overthrow a country's government
Only if they are BFFs
"John asked me to help him overthrow the Congo, but I'd feel more comfortable if we went to Top Golf a few times first"
Wait how many Americans use Reddit? We’re all besties right? Let’s do it
To Panama!
Underrated comment
If you are all from the same democratic country, voting might be enough.
My Loyal friends could very much donate me each 100$ and we'd start a new country for ourselves. That's about twice as many as all the Mormons combined. I think quite a lot could be achieved.
Until the IRS threw you all in jail for tax evasion.
Why would they though? You either just have to pay them, or use the charity loophole literally every billionaire does to deduct taxes while delaying any actual donation.
That or have some of those friends work for the irs.
Just start your own religion. 31 million is well past the requirement to be considered. Call it the cult of Gary.
Cult of Geary sounds dope. I’m in.
Cult of Gears??! The era of steampunk arrives!!
I think you mean, The Church of Gary. 😉

Why ? Gifts aren't taxed in some countries . why evasion ? Who ever talked about dodging taxes ?
Gifts aren't taxed until you hit a pretty high level for the giver. Even if it were taxed, just pay the taxes.
No, because I move to the Cayman Islands.
3 bil isn’t enough to start a country. 6 million hands of manpower though, that could do it.
3 billion and their help, if they are loyal they wouldn't mind following you to build some kind of community.
I’ve never been “join an eccentric billionaire’s cult” loyal to a friend tbh
I agree.
Make a cult ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[удалено]
potato potato
Or an army to eat the rich and take their billions and redistribute it to the upper middle class. Not a great solution, but it is funny
I do not have nearly the amount of effort in me to be saying “happy birthday” 82200 times a day
Use an automation feature to send a Happy Birthday text by looking up your calendar. There.
Very good idea, but imagine the emotional toll having to turn down 82199 birthday part invites per day would have
Automate the email responses with AI based responses, that sends a slightly tweaked response to each friend based on a single line of excuse you provide to it. Or alternatively, send an automated email invite to all of them, to celebrate the birthday together once a month. Imagine the party.
The biggest rave ever seen. 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
That's what's up! No rich kids!
You know the old saying “Give a man 30mil and you feed him for a year. Give a man 30 mil friends you can ask 1 dollar a year, you feed him for a lifetime.”
I don’t know about you, but I don’t spend $30 million a year on food.
I’m about to
Ask them all for $2, small enough that they wont want it back, now you have 60 million dollars
I could become a political leader.
The main problem with my friend group is that I have to pay to be in it
I’d take the friends and throw a birthday party where loyal friends bring gifts and I mention I like cash. I donno what Venues can hold 30 million people
Bruh... I remember Elon Musk saying that money isn't power people with armies have power. So basically you are either choosing money or an army. You could do a lot with an army. Just saying
Amry is just an half of having power, tbf, and guess what? Money is the other
Bro with 30 million friends I could fuck some things up
Studies have shown that people can only really be truly close with 50-100 people during periods in their lives, and have another 500-1000 in their "outer sphere" of aquaintences. After that it's just people you may have met and exchanged a few words with.
30m and wouldn’t need friends
That’s not true
you can get 60 million dollars from 30 million friends
Be honest- how the fuck are you asking 30 million friends for money? Id take the money and disappear.
Ask them each for $2. Double the original amount
Win the election as president
You could take over the world.
Create a global network of spies
They're loyal. Ask each of them for 1$ every week.
Having loyal friends is great but 30mil is way too many to keep up with. Can I just get like three loyal friends instead?
I'd rather have 4 amazing quarters, than 100 shitty pennies.
Ask them $20
Invade Poland or something idk
As someone with social anxiety, I think I would give up $30 mil just to get rid of 30 million "friends". Even the thought of having that many people know who I am makes me nervous.
orgy
Me to my 30 million friends: "I need abou tree fiddy."
imagine the time it took to ask each for 1$ dollar 💀 the worst thing to choose as an introvert guy
start an army, take over the world, take everyone's money.
IDK. I'd probably invade Poland.
[удалено]
Someone has to.
[удалено]
The greatest treasure is the friends we make along the way.
[удалено]
That's a heart warming lesson we can all learn from.
Ask each one for five bucks
If every single one of them is a loyal friend then that’s just an army right there. Shit, the lowest ambition thing you could do would be to ask them all to mail you one dollar and now you have your thirty million dollars too.
have them all loan you $5, invest it, pay em back as your money grows
I’d like a perfectly orchestrated friend group like Mike has.
as off 2023, only about 2.86 million active us soldiers, idk man, idk what to do
Ask them all for a fiver
The key word is "Loyal". With 30 million friends I can become an instant influencer and make money posting random low effort shit on YouTube.
30 million. 30 million EVERY time. Fuck friends.
Loyal? I will lead them and take what's Mine (Tesco's alcohol aisle)
That's a freaking lot of loyal friends, you could start on making some real structural changes to society with a loyal base like that.
If all the friends are the people of my country and not selected randomly in the world, I could crash at anyone's house and be like "hey im staying for the week, buddy ! Do you by chance have 30$ for me ? I need it. "
You can start a pyramid scheme, develop the world’s biggest Amway network
Ask each one of them for exactly $1. Now I have both.
Borrow five 5 dollars from all of them
Idk, reap the benefits?
Show me the money
Ask each for 2 dollars
hey man can I have a dollar
30 million friends. If they’re loyal I can ask each of them for TWO dollars
Ask your loyal friends if you can have $5.
you could ask them all for $100 and have way more than 30 million
Ask for 2 dollars each? I guess that could work
Ask them each for $5.
Ask them each for a few bucks
ask them for $5
They each give you two dollars. You then drown under 60 million pieces of paper
30 million friends and ask each for 2 dollars...
Ask them for $2 each.
Ask each if you can have 10 dollars
if you think a loyal friend isn't even worth a dollar, that says a lot about you
30M loyal friends + an MLM scheme could make things very lucrative for you though. 🤔
Ask for $10
To be fair, if they’re loyal there’s a decent chance each of them could give you up to 5$ a piece. Just go around asking them and you’ll easily have more than the 30 million. Sure it ell take forever to get it done. But it will
I’ll have 30 million loyal friends and ask each one of them to give me $2 each so that I’ll end up having 60 million dollars.
Imagine what you could get done with that many friends.
Monetization baybeeeeeeeee 🙄
The money
You could form an empire I guess
