Yeah, yeah, yeah. 80 million. 80 million a year? Yeah. Are you serious? Yes. I mean, we've done hundreds of millions of dollars. In one year? Yeah. I'm a high school dropout. You're a high school dropout? Yeah, I'm a high school dropout. Did you have people that doubted you when you started your business? Are you kidding me? Everyone. Almost 99 percent, they doubt me. There's a young 20-year-old watching this right now. They want to make 100 million dollars, 100 million pounds in today's world. Give them the blueprint right here. Wow. I just flew across the world. Over 20 hours to land in one of the richest cities on the planet. This is Hong Kong. A city where more billionaires live per square mile than almost any city on earth. But today, I'm not here for the views. I'm here to interview the millionaires and the billionaires who actually built this city. These are the people who move billions of dollars. They've built empires and operate at a level that most people will never see. So today, I'm going to be asking the people of Hong Kong how they got rich. How they made their, not just millions, but billions of dollars out here, you guys. So stay tuned from start to finish because this video is about to be insane. With that being said, let's get this video on the way. Excuse me, sir. Do you speak English? Sorry, I'm in a hurry. So real quick, I grew a channel to 18 million followers. I interview successful people for the year. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. All right, my man. Thank you. Is this your G-Wagon? Are you an entrepreneur? Sorry, my English is not. Are you a business owner? No. Okay, no worries, man. Have a good one. You what? I saw you on Instagram. Yeah, I was going to try to interview you. All right, you guys. Rolls-Royce. Come on. How you doing, bro? Good to see you, man. Nice to meet you. Excuse me, sir. Is this your Rolls-Royce? Sir, real quick. Is this... Rolls-Royce is getting married. Oh, excuse me, sir. Sir, how old were you when you became a millionaire? Sorry, maybe next time. Real quick, sir. I'm from the United States. I grew channel to 18 million followers just interviewing successful business owners. Sorry, I got to finish this off. I'll talk to you in like five minutes. All right, brother. I appreciate you. All right, you guys. As you can see, look, man. These people are not willing to stop and talk. Let alone get an interview. It's going to be nearly impossible right now, you guys. But look, all we're going to do is keep on going. Look, we're in Hong Kong right now. I'm all the way across the world from where I live. I normally film these in the States. So I have no idea what we're going to be getting into today. We're not going to stop until I find some billionaires out here and one of the financial capitals of the world. It's all good. Are you from Hong Kong? Yeah. What is it that you do for work? I work in the, well, family business. What do you do? What do you guys do? We are a Christmas ornament manufacturer. Are you serious? Yeah. Are you one of the biggest in China? Yeah, the biggest. Actually, yeah. Hey, but I'm too shy. One question, though. I came all the way from Texas to interview people out here. I wanted to ask you, how did your family get into the business? We've been doing it for 50, 60 years. Actually, do you run the company today? I run the company today. Let me ask you this. What are you doing to grow the business right now? Well, right now, you have to diversify and you have to pivot and keep on moving. Do you own different verticals? You own the manufacturing? Yeah, we're a vertically integrated company, so we own the entire supply chain. Explain that. What are the different verticals that you own? Put me on the spot. What are the different verticals that you own? We import raw materials, buy the raw materials. We blow, injection mold. We have a lot of different types of production lines, all vertically integrated. We pack it. We distribute it. We ship it to America or ship it to the UK or Europe. And then our customers, they sell it in their retail stores. Have the tariffs had a big impact on your business? Oh yeah, huge. A lot of uncertainty. It has created a lot of ups and downs, so it went up to $145,000 and then went back down to $30,000. My category was at 0% tariff and now it's at 30% tariff. A lot of customers don't feel very certain about the future. What's the most amount of money the business has generated? I mean, we've done hundreds of millions of dollars. In one year? Yeah. I appreciate you and your time, man. That was awesome. And why are there so many successful entrepreneurs in Hong Kong? 20, 30 years ago, Hong Kong was the gateway to China. And in the 80s and 90s, a lot of people from Hong Kong opened factories in China because at that time, China was a fishing village. They opened the economy up and then after that, there are hundreds of thousands of people came in, migrant workers to find jobs. Hong Kong has, over the last 30 years, 50 years, has just been an economic trading hub. You got great advice, man. Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate you. Where would you say what I find the wealthiest entrepreneurs in Hong Kong? Is this a good place to be? It's a good place to be. You can go to the Rosewood. A lot of young entrepreneurs. They'll be around this area for sure. Awesome, man. Great to meet you, man. What was your name? Charlie. Charlie James. Thank you for your time and I appreciate you. You see him? Is he in the back? You see him? Oh, he's stopping. Yeah. Should I break the ice with him? Okay, no, no. Is he coming? I'm going to interview him. I just wonder why you keep interviewing our guests. Yes, sir. So I have one of the biggest business social media channels. So I have this channel right here where I interview a lot of the... Who am I here with today? Yes. Who's dog did you kill? Did you inform our PR team? I can talk to them. Do you know where they are, sir? I don't really know what they suggest you. Okay, we'll just talk to them real quick. You can contact them on midday. Not again. Sorry about that. No worries. Thank you. All right, you guys. So as you can see, that did not last long, right? We just got kicked out of filming from the Four Seasons Hotel. But while we were at it, we at least got one. And we interviewed the owner of one of the largest Crispin ornament manufacturers in the entire world. What did he say the secret to success to making hundreds of millions of dollars a year was? Is they had a vertically integrated business. That's where the money is. But while we're at it, we're gonna go find the next spot to go find the ultra rich out here in Hong Kong, you guys. Come on. All right, you guys. So we just got to our next destination out here in Hong Kong, right? We're at the Peninsula Hotel. There's, as you can see, a fleet of Rolls Royces, Bentley trucks, Lamborghinis coming in and out of the valet, right? So we're gonna be going up to these people coming in and out of these cars, right? This is where some of the wealthiest people not only come here to stay but live out here in Hong Kong, you guys. So let's go see who we can walk up to and find. Come on. Excuse me, sir. Is this your Lamborghini? And how did you get a Lamborghini, man? What did you do to become wealthy? Sir, can I interview you for a minute? I go to the ATM. All right, man. How's it going, man? Excuse me, sir. Is this your McLaren? Yeah, both is mine. How did you get rich, man? I go all over the world interviewing billionaires and successful people. What did you do for a living? I'd rather not say. So I'm from the States. I've interviewed 32 billionaires in the last four years. Right. On their advice to the younger generation. I've interviewed like Mark Cuban, Shaquille O'Neal. Let me ask you this. What types of businesses did you own? I have a few. I have trading. I have a law firm. What made you want to become an entrepreneur? A lot of people, they don't want to take that risk and do their own thing. My family was really poor. So my dad grew up really poor. He did. And he made it all himself. And he always told me that if he made it himself, I would find my own way. So you ended up making it yourself. Yeah, I never got any help from my family. So for people that don't know, what's the name of that car right there? Pagani. How much did that cost? How much was that? 2.5 million pounds. And you bought it cash? Yeah, both of them. So what was the most amount of money you made in a single year? I don't know. Probably 100 million pounds. 100 million pounds? Yeah. How was that possible? What business was that primarily? Was that the law firm? What trading? No, no, no. Trading, everything. We do global markets. So yeah. So do you own your own brokerage, your own exchange or what? No, no, no. We do IPOs and everything. You take companies public? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You actually? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you get into that business? Well, everyone wants to bring their company to public, right? So we bring them over. We do all the things for them. We take the parts and then we partner up with everyone. Do you think businesses should go public in today's world? Or is there a risk there as well when you take in all those different investors like public? Sorry, sorry, sorry. We'll get the mid-interview snippet. Hey, hey. Sometimes you got to do business mid-interview. It happens. One more. One more, man. How old are you now? I'm 31. 31? Yeah. There's a young 20-year-old watching this right now. They want to make $100 million, 100 million pounds in today's world. Give them the blueprint right here. Give them the blueprint. Everyone has their own way out. There's no way you can copy me. There's no way I can copy you. So everyone's different. How did you say that from competition? It's competitive in the businesses that you're in. No, no, no. I mean, my market's really niche. We only have a few people in the business. So the riches are in the niches. Definitely. How did you come upon that niche of anything you could have done? I mean, I have a double degree in economics and law. What's more important, book smarts or street smarts? Street. Definitely street. Books won't bring you anywhere, right? If you're only book smart, then no matter how good you are, I don't care where you graduated from or anywhere, you might be working for me anyway. I love that. That's why they say see students from the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never ask anyone who works for me. I never require them to have any specific education or wise. I don't require them to have that. What do you look for? I need them to be smart. What do you look for that tells you somebody's going to be successful? What's the one trait you see in the most successful people? Street smart. Definitely street smart. How did you get your street smarts? I really don't know how to tell you, but I'm just like you and I. You're street smart. You guys are all street smart. I can tell. It's born, right? It's born with it. Is it inside you? It's definitely born with it. I mean, you cannot pretend for it. It doesn't work that way. Give me your best negotiation tactic for anybody in business. Wow. Always know what you're worth and then keep that in your mind. So you weren't afraid to walk away if somebody didn't come? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Thank you so much for your time, man. Thank you. What was your name, man? Bobby. It means a lot, man. I actually saw you guys on Instagram before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I follow you guys. The most common mistake you see people make. I gotta go. All right. Have a good one, man. Thank you for your time, bro. Have a good one, man. Hey, so we got my guy. Pulled up in the McLaren. I guess there was a Pagani behind it, but it turns out he actually owns both of them, like he said. I'm glad we ran out to that man in Hong Kong, man. Like he said, book smarts don't mean anything if you don't have the street smarts. That's how you make it in business. Great interview out here in Hong Kong, man. Let's keep this thing going. Come on. All right, you guys. We got a van pulled up to the valet right now. Excuse me, sir. Sir, I have a question for you. How old were you? Wait, real quick, real quick. How old were you when you became a millionaire? Real quick, real quick. I'm going all over Hong Kong, interviewing the richest people. Hey, one minute, real quick. Is that okay? Yeah. How old were you when you became a millionaire? It's an interesting question because I'm a billionaire. You're what? I'm not a millionaire. I'm a billionaire. You're a billionaire? Yes. How old are you? I'm 34. So what age did you become a billionaire? 25, I would say. I built one of the largest blockchain in the world. Are you serious? Yes. Can I interview you off to the side real quick for one minute? Okay. Is that okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you have people that doubted you early on? Of course. Like everybody around me don't know what I'm doing, basically. Can you tell me a crazy business story? Yes, of course. So I had lunch with Warren Buffett. You had lunch with Warren Buffett? Yes, yes. 2020. How did you get a lunch with Warren Buffett? $4.5 million. So you paid $4.5 million to get a lunch with Warren Buffett? Yes, yes. Was it worth it? Yes, it's totally worth it. What did Warren Buffett teach you in that lunch? He said, be careful with the one you marry. You need to make this decision like really hard. Warren Buffett taught you that? Yes, yes. And I tell him to invest Tesla and Bitcoin. Do you own a lot of Bitcoin? Yes, I personally have a lot. Why are you telling Warren Buffett to invest in Bitcoin? The reason is because Tesla and Bitcoin is building something new. So never ever exist on earth before. So that's very important because in the capital markets, we always give premium to new companies, to new innovations, rather than, you know, keep manufacturing the things we have been manufacturing for thousands of years. So that's why I tell Warren Buffett Tesla, Bitcoin is definitely the best. And also the reason Warren Buffett told me not to hold Bitcoin is the reason I invest in Bitcoin. Crypto and the blockchain is the money for the internet. Basically, AI and the internet won't understand the traditional finance. They won't understand the dollar. You know, we invented basically 100 years ago now. They will understand Bitcoin and all the cryptocurrency because it's created by the machine language. And created by computers. So better get in that. Do you think the U.S. dollar is going to collapse? I think U.S. dollars eventually going to be used by people in a digital way, but it won't be dominated because U.S. dollar is invented by humans, not machines. So if you want to get into crypto, the best time is now. Growing up, did you have any idea that you were going to become a billionaire? For myself, I think 100%. But for the people knowing me, I think they have no idea I'm going to become a billionaire. Did you have people that doubted you? Everybody? Yes. Among yourself and all of the billionaires that you've met, what is that one trait that they all have in common? Yeah, I think for the one thing all the billionaires all share for me is they all have their own business. So you can't get rich working for somebody else. Exactly. What's your name? Justin Star. Justin, if me and you died tomorrow and you had one more message to leave with the younger generation, what would that be? Buy Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin? Buy Bitcoin. It's going to become the future currency. You've got amazing advice, man. Thank you. Thank you so much for your time, man. And Justin, I have to ask you, I connect with all the billionaires I interview. Can I get your contact? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, I just interviewed one of the richest men in Hong Kong. We're headed right now to go get our next interview. But I need you to stop and listen to me very carefully right now. Look, I built a multi-million dollar business by the age of 23 for one reason only. And it wasn't luck. It wasn't some degree that I had. It was because of access. I had access to all of the millionaires and billionaires that you see me interview on this channel. I got mentored by these entrepreneurs that I interview every single week. And because of that, I built a business that is now making over a million dollars a month. Now, here's the craziest part. Look, in 2026, I'm doing something that I've never done before. I'm opening that network up to you. See, one year ago, I launched and built what has now become the most powerful entrepreneur community and network in the entire world. And I'm not kidding. Inside this community that I built, you get direct access to all the entrepreneurs that you see me interview. The multi-millionaires, the eight and nine figure operators, the billionaires. Every single week, I host live calls with these people. Now, on these calls, you don't just watch these people. No, no, no. You get literal live access to them where you ask them your questions and they give you real answers about business, how to scale these companies that you start, how to invest and make your money work for you. Real billionaire secrets. This is the exact environment that changed my life, that made me a millionaire. And now I'm giving you access to it. Let me be clear. In 2026, if you want access to the greatest entrepreneur community and network in the world, waste no more time. All you have to do is go down and click the link in the description of this video to join the number one entrepreneur community in the world. And I'll see you on the inside. With that being said, let's go get this next interview. Excuse me, ma'am. Ma'am, question for you. How old were you when you became a millionaire? Around my late 20s. How did you get rich out here in Hong Kong? I have our own haircare brand. You started a company? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm the founder. How long have you been a business owner? 20 years. And what's the company worth today? Around $100 million. So you built a $100 million company? Yeah, with my team, not myself. How old are you now? 40-something. You're in your 40s? Yes. Going all over Hong Kong, interviewing the richest people. Can I get one minute with you for the channel off to the side? Just a minute. It's for the younger generation. Yeah, sure. Who am I here with today? I'm Marvin Lin, founder of OMG Haircare Brand. You're a business owner? Yeah, I'm a business owner, stylist. And I'm a high school dropout. You're a high school dropout? Yeah, I'm a high school dropout. When I was a teenage, I started my own path. Why did you decide to drop out? I really know what I want to do. I'm not very good in study. I'm kind of a bit ADHD. But I don't want to waste my time and my energy. Time is our exit. That's why I just dropped out and left my home. What was the single biggest thing that it took to build out a $100 million company? Get some investors, some people. They have technology. They have money. All people have different know-how. Work together, instead of only by yourself. If you work by yourself, you can fast. But work with a great team, you can be far. And deep. Did you have people that doubted you when you started your business? Oh, even with everyone. Almost 99% doubt me. Why did you believe in yourself? You are the only one who can believe yourself or make yourself fail. If you don't believe yourself, who can believe you? Why people believe in you? You are the only one who really know what you want before you do it. If you really believe in yourself, make it real. What is the best piece of advice that you got throughout your career? Don't be afraid of failure. I failed many thousand times. Every time I failed, I learned. Next time I failed, I felt better. And then stand up and fail again and felt better. And then one day, someone will tell you, yo, bro, you are now the champion. Oh, really? Thank you. You found a product that was able to generate tons of money and it was super successful. How did you find the winning product? What was your formula for finding the product that you knew was going to be successful? You need to be precise. You need to be critical. Not someone tell you this is good and you think this is good. You need to think, oh, this is good. Can we make it something better? Some of our clients are the Olympic gold medal athlete, award-winning movie director or movie actor. They are all precise. They want something better. Can we do better? Can we have something better? But you need to learn. You need to be fast. You need to absorb and you need to be critical. Then you will make something better than before. I always like to ask people that if me and you died tomorrow and you had one more message to leave the younger generation, what would that be? Stay kind. No matter how worse situation you think you are now, it's your moment to shine. Stay kind. Be polite to people and stand up tall. Even you die, you don't regret. Do you have any regrets? Me? I miss my father. He passed away. I'm sorry for your loss. What did you learn from your dad? Talking is cheap. Work on it. You will find fail. Once you fail, you know what is not good for you and then you learn from it. And then you go again and do again the thing. You can rest, but don't stop. You have amazing advice. Thank you. Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate that. Yeah, thank you so much. You're very inspiring. You too. Thank you. Please share to more people. The kids, they need you. So we walked up to the lady in between the car right before she was about to take off and she built a $100 million company after dropping out of high school. And if there's one thing that I know, especially in the culture out here in Hong Kong, that does not happen, okay? They take school very seriously out here, you guys. But she took the ultimate bet on herself. She built a $100 million business and just gave us some great advice. Great interview out here in Hong Kong.

Because my father is a registered structural engineer. He bring me in this kind of industry. Are you from Hong Kong? Yeah, I'm Hong Kong. Yeah, right. You are? Yeah, I'm Hong Kong. What's the best year you've had? 80 million. 80 million? A year, yeah. Are you serious? Yes. What is the best piece of advice that you ever received throughout your career? I just follow the pattern because many of my friends, they are older than me. And then I just follow the pattern. Some of the guys, they are older than me and then they do very well in their business industry. So I just follow what they have do. So find successful people and go study and do exactly. Yes, exactly. Yes. Did you have to sacrifice a lot to build an 80 million? Yeah, of course. One day, you have 24 hours and then you think. Every day and night, you need to think how to get business, how to get more job, how to do it better. Every moment, you need to think of your business. What did you have to sacrifice? Time. Every day, I will go to my office. No matter it's holiday, I need to go back to office and read some of the documents. Did you have any challenges as a business owner? Of course. What's the biggest challenge you had to overcome? The biggest challenge you faced? The cost. That cost. Of what? The cost in Hong Kong is very high. Of materials? Salaries of your colleagues. So the people. Staff. Yeah, your staff is very high. How did you overcome that challenge? You need to keep money running in your bank account to maintain the flow. And how old are you? Oh, I'm nearly 38. 38? Yeah, nearly 38. Let me ask you this. My last question. If me and you died tomorrow and you had one more message to leave with the younger generation, what would that be?
