On reddit a multi-millionaire's AMA

 I am a multimillionaire AMAA (self.IAmA)
submitted 8 hours ago by milliondollarAMA

I go on Reddit all the time while at my office, I find the sense of humor unique and to my liking. I saw the AMA request and I thought this would be my opportunity to give back. I can provide whatever info the mods need from me to verify my information as long as it does not compromise any sensitive information. Please ask your questions and I will answer them while I am online, I should be here for another hour or so.

Hello. Thank you for your IAmA. How did you make that kind of money? Also, do you have moments when you see something expensive and you just say to yourself, "fuck it, I'm going to buy this shit right now"?

good question, I am the sole exporter (In the way of legalized monopolies) of Apple products into certain parts of the world. This enables me to sell the $650 iphones sold here in apple stores for 200%-500% mark ups as well as all other Apple products. I am relatively young so I have a passion for cars and I have those moments when I walk into a dealership and they don't take me seriously due to the way I looks and dress and just say fuck it and drop a quarter million.

How did you manage to get into that position? Did you just call apple and say "Yo steve let me be a sole exporter of your stuff to certain parts of the world" ?

This had nothing to do with apple. I got in touch with the government agencies that regulate such matter in the countries that I work with. It's funny, Apple can't sell their own product there unless they go through me.

I once got very drunk with a few friends from my fraternity a year or so ago and tried to purchase a pigmy giraffe, I contacted my concierge from one of my credit cards, long story short I got a call the next day from said concierge telling me that they could not read my handwriting on the adoption paper work I had faxed the the night before in an attempt to adopt a pigmy giraffe. I had no recollection of any of this.
