A roofing contractor built a nine-figure business by 26, managing 85 workers, then blew it on hotels, luxury cars, and the rave scene. He calls it "F-U money" – enough wealth to stop caring what anyone thought.
I needed to be the guy that knew the guys that did the stuff. And I went out and I got 85 people to work for me between the ages of 23 and 26 years old and life was good. Life was so good that by 2005 I was doing all kinds of crazy stuff. I had a roofing company, I had 480 acres of land doing developments I had at nine figures in the bank and I'm not even 30 yet. That's dumb money. I don't want to cuss, but we have another word for it. It's called fu money, right? I had fu money and when you under 30 years old and you got a few money you can do really dumb stuff. So some of the dumb stuff I did was like, you know, take over hotels in Orlando, you know, go big car leap just because I could love the rave scene back then. Yeah, it was crazy dumb stuff. There's a whole documentary on that we won't get into.
