Gary Vee recalls making $3,000 to $4,000 at age 13 running baseball card shows, feeling like he had a trillion dollars. He and the other speaker swap stories about early money: selling hot dogs and collecting a grip of $5 bills in tips, what they call hood rich.
I had fuck you money when I had $10 grand.
Yeah, I get that. I understand.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do know that. Like, and then once I was like, wait a minute.
I still don't think I've ever been more rich than when I was doing baseball card shows at 13. Because $3,000, $4,000 when you're 13 and you came from nothing, I thought I had like a trillion.
I remember one day I sold hot dogs and I had a grip of cash. It was like a grand.
A grip.
Yeah.
It was just a grip.
It was like, I call it a grip. Let me get that grip. And it was 'cause I had like a jar here for tips. And I had like a grand in $5 bills. And I was like, this is funny money. This is it. I was like, we called it hood rich.
