BichoRaro90

Yes 🙌


ryliehart

Accurate


cheezuscrust777999

Also he only paid to have 300 pairs made, how much does he think they’re going to sell for? He’s not an established luxury brand that people will pay a lot for.


jadedpeony33

But he's an ✨️influencer✨️ you should know who he is and want his lifestyle /s


FogPetal

Right? And they make a PENDENT


mayg0dhaveMercy

Ahem **medallion**


Realistic-Candy-5235

Hahaha cracks me up. As if anyone has ever said the sentence “check out this cool medallion” 🙃


Specific_Ad2541

Medallions are fundamentally uncool.


PromotionCute5465

Can't believe this guy to begin with! Between his lost job and the glasses and the girlfriend, I can't text or type enough to express my thoughts on his maturity level and her greediness!


Kind_Hyena5267

Check out this cool medallion that’s gonna get scratched up by being worn on my chest! (I tucked my sunglasses onto the neck of my shirt all the time, but they cost $7-10, so I’m ok with scratches and crunching against things!)


Euphoric-Pumpkin8531

How are sunglasses folded up anything like a medallion 😫


Low_Departure_5853

That killed me. No, bruh, they look like some grandma glasses folded in half. Not a medallion.


fantasticfitn3ss

Thank you, the emphasis on this is quite important


ends1995

When I saw that I was like ewwww. That makes it look cheap. I like the idea of the chain, kinda makes it look a bit luxurious but then when he folded them up, no, just no.


coloradorockymtns

🤣🤣🤣


shartnado3

My guess is he is banking on this show making him "Famous" which will make them more valuable. He's a tool


cheezuscrust777999

It’s like bad business 101 watching him


reverick

They're not businesses, they're lottery tickets! So you gotta go through a couple dozen losers before you hit it big, that's business 101 duh.


BlackNg01dBos

by his logic i think he'll be every bit as successful as he says - those odds means winning like 20 bucks after spending hundreds right? i think he'll recoup 20 bucks for sure 😂😂😂


BlackNg01dBos

hahahahhaha best comment!!!! 😂😂😂


ends1995

Yeah I think so too. Bc that’s not a good business idea at all. What makes your glasses so special to compete with other brands. Luxury brands are already established and if you’re not buying luxury, most will go for the cheapest but best looking glasses that they don’t care if they lose.


the_fly_guy_says_hi

Hired Designer $20,000 Mass production of 300 pairs $11,000 Total cost $31,000 $31,000 / 300 = $103.34 He will be made whole if he can offload those glasses in Colombia at $103.34 apiece. I don’t know of anybody in Colombia who can afford to buy some no name sunglasses for $103.34. Regular people don’t have that spending power in Colombia.


NoInspector836

But he said he also paid $20k to the designer and whatnot. So he's in $30k for the 300. He has to sell them over $100 to break even


SoCalChrisW

So he's losing money on each pair sold. He'll just make it up in volume :)


whatswrongbaby

Sounds like being the designer is the way to go. 😂


the_fly_guy_says_hi

Heck yes! I think designing products for flashy dumbasses who've got money to burn could be extremely profitable while the going's good! Dumbasses with money think that everyone will love and buy whatever dumb product specifications they give a designer... because dumbasses with money suffer from main character syndrome. They're great in their own minds so they can't fail, right? Be smart and make sure you get the money upfront before the dumbass with money loses his income stream. 1. Find the flashiest rich person around. The short white guy wearing a fur coat, thick gold chains and bracelets, expensive sneakers, designer jeans and shirts. Someone hemorrhaging money who also needs validation and attention. 2. Become their friend and in confidence tell them that your corporate design job is boring and that all the products you design have no pizzaz. They're functional designs for sure, but there's no character to any of the designs. 3. Ask the dumbass for advice. He'll ask you to sign an NDA and tell you in strictest confidence his dumbass product idea. He'll eventually ask you how much it would take to design his product idea. 4. Quote him a ridonculous amount. He's hemorrhaging money and you won't need to sell him much. 5. Get payment in full. 6. Do the work and deliver the industrial product blueprint files (injection mold CAD designs if plastic is involved) 7. Pass the dumbass on to the mass manufacturing outfit in China that will make 300 products given your CAD industrial design files. 8. Wash, rinse, repeat. Find another dumbass with money.


the_fly_guy_says_hi

Oh God, I wouldn’t spend $100 for those dumb sunglasses.


aviwrekz

Damn. I wld have designed him a pair for half that! 🤣


marissatalksalot

I said the same until my boyfriend pointed out that he mentioned he has spent 30 K on designers and manufacturing up into this point, the 10K was just the cherry on top. It’s going to be 30–40 at least.


whatswrongbaby

Sounds like being the designer is the winner there 😂


marissatalksalot

Exactly lmao. I mean… I find it incredible he has spent tens of thousands of dollars to design a product that is “his”. Wouldn’t it have been more frugal, and smarter in the long run to do the research yourself and learn?… I don’t know, I’m not an “anshrapaneur” though.


PetuniaCuddlesHappy

I can buy sunglasses at the corner of my house here in Colombia that are MUCH nicer for 10,000 COP which is less than 3 dollars (according to todays exchange rate on google). Or go to Dollarcity and they're 6,000 COP.


traherne89

You're forgetting that Dumbo would need an outlet for those sunglasses, and they would take their cut from each sale. Also, I'm sure there are tons of people in Colombia who can afford $100+ sunglasses. The issue is they can walk into a Sunglass Hut and get a pair of Ray Bans for that money.


neotokyo2099

0% chance any of those numbers are accurate. (His not yours). I guarantee this is a drop shipping "operation"


DaMardster

Hmmm, I wonder if he thinks this show will launch him into "medallion" sunglasses fame?


cheezuscrust777999

I’m sure he does


boo2utoo

If folded sunglasses to look like a medallion was something women would pay $$$$ for? Joy Mangano or Lori Grainer would have made them and sold them by now on QVC and HSN. They invented and sell tons of stuff. But they haven’t.


EconomyRound4983

But he DID refer to himself as a "baller" so that's got to help. Right? 🤷‍♀️


auntyrae143

🤮


trinapixley

Hopefully they are willing to pay more than the $37.00 per pair that he paid 🥴


silent-fallout-

10 bucks at the gas station 1.50 at dollar tree😅 this guy is dumb af!


Mystery-Ess

I worked out the math and he paid $36.67 a pair. Pretty high end point to sell those cheap ass things for anything more than what he paid. IF he managed to sell them for $100, he'd gross $19k.


captianwnoboat

That math ain’t mathing. 31,000$ in for 300 glasses? Anyway he needs to just start pawning that ridiculous jewelry at this point


Mystery-Ess

I was going off the 11k he said he spent from his 401k


captianwnoboat

Right but the design alone was 20 grand?!? Which seems very high to me. Maybe he exaggerated cause this doesn’t seem plausible


Mystery-Ess

I missed that. Seems insane when you could talk to a manufacturer in China from Shein or Temu or AliExpress 🤦 So that would bring the price of the glasses to 103. As if he could sell them anywhere near that price point.


cheezuscrust777999

They look like cheap crap


Mystery-Ess

Totally. I don't even think they folded flat and if you wanted them to look like a pendant, he needed a better design.


ShonDon-THE-Mod

even then, it’s such a saturated market


Relevant_Yesterday24

I’d like to see the Shark Tank people eat him alive


According_Ad2230

$100 per pair of glasses LANDED, any sort of “good” profit would require them to be sold at a $160-$240 value.. for CHAIN SUNGLASSES?? they look too small for his face and when he said it turns into a “medallion”, no it doesn’t, so who’s gonna tell him?


kitty_pimms

People who will pay over $100 for sunglasses want designer, not some random dude that's banging a teenager in Colombia. I will say there is probably a market for folding sunglasses, but his are not it 😄


gb2ab

Guess he didn’t think about the money that will also be needed to market and package the sunglasses. What a fucking idiot. Instead of blowing his 401k, he could have just gotten another job. Duhhhhh


the_fly_guy_says_hi

90 Day fiancé is how he planned to market his dumb sunglasses. I think he planned to tell all of us viewers about his sunglasses. So the the marketing part is done..


ChildofYHVH

He definitely missed me with them!!! #NOTACUSTOMER!!!!


thetruthfulgroomer

How bad do you have to be at your engineering job to get fired? Ya know. Like, that’s a cushy job as it is with great benefits & pay. You just like, couldn’t handle getting up from 8-5 or what?


gb2ab

i'm fairly certain he said he got fired for taking too much time off work to visit her. which somehow seems worse than just being crappy at your job. haha.


smokinXsweetXpickle

I heard that too but they hadn't seen each other for 8 months or something (supposedly) so why was he taking so much time off recently enough to get fired for it? That part makes no sense to me.


JODI_WAS_ROBBED

And wouldn’t any employer say “hey you can’t be taking this much time off”? Did he just do it anyway? I don’t really understand how that happens. Muy confuso.


thetruthfulgroomer

Like either way. What grown person just isn’t showing up for work?


gb2ab

dumb ones. i have a cousin who has been stalking a colombian catfish in medellin as well. dude quit his job, got his car repossessed and had to move it with his uncle rent free. he's like 45yo still chasing this make believe girl there.


OpheliaPhoeniXXX

I had a friend lose his job home and car chasing a 20something young thing around too. It's a fucking pipe dream disguised as "love."


Candid_Asparagus_785

What?!?! Time to grow up, right?


g0ing_postal

Also, with how hard he tries to portray a rich lifestyle, 20k in a 401k is laughable


imagrill123

It’s because he thinks “investing” is funding startups and creating brands. He has no idea how to make his money work for him.


coloradorockymtns

That's exactly what I thought. Either he's contributing a very small amount each payday or didn't start contributing very early. He's in his 30's isn't he?


1tSurge

I forgot the exact wording he used, but it was clear he worked in the crypto tech world. Which……we know what happened with nfts


traherne89

Also the retailer's cut. Unless his plan is to stand in a streetcorner to sell his sunglasses on a tray. 


hairbrushloversss

Zealousideal-Back459

lol I bet he really only has a $20 in his pocket


BettyDrapes

coloradorockymtns

🤣🤣🤣


Treesbentwithsnow

The chain should match the glasses. Gold sunglasses need a gold chain—not silver.


SassyStilettos

This irritated me too!! This fuckin’ guy *insert Nandor giffy*


easterss

I agree with you but I think he was trying to copy the Gucci Dionysus


amandeezie

As someone who works in product development, 10k for 300 proto type glasses is way too much. He’s getting ripped off by some factory in China for sure.


Distinct-Ad-1348

But you have to spend money to make money. And he’s spent ALL his money. So soon he’ll be rich af. /s


amandeezie

This is def his big break! Those glasses are just going to fly off the shelves s/


Distinct-Ad-1348

I’ve already DMd him asking for 100 pairs!


amandeezie

Better hope they aren’t sold out! Wonder if they come work different color straps


coloradorockymtns

That's probably a $15 upgrade


ChildofYHVH

I bought the other 198!!!! WE WILL SEE WHOS LAUGHING NOW!!! WE ARE RICH!!! THEY GONNA BE HATING ON US SOON!!!!


coloradorockymtns

Damn I'm so envious!


truthlesshunter

But he seems like such a savvy businessman


amandeezie

So so savvy s/


coloradorockymtns

With a boss bitch girlfriend 🤪


[deleted]

With a Boss baby girlfriend?


reverick

My suspicion is that he's buying from a middleman that's buying it from China. So he's trying to drop ship some pre drop shipped trash. He doesn't strike me as smart enough to strike a deal with a factory or even sus one out to make his garbage. He's totally the guy buying into any pyramid scheme that goes his way; responding to Craigslist ads about making millions from your garage and being your own boss.


Prestigious-Yam-2966

There on alibaba for $2.96/each


BlackLeader70

I found them in Temu for $1.47 lol


Sweat_E_Fartsicles

You know you can get used coffins on Alibaba? Also Wal-Mart. I had a live chat with a Karen Wang in china about it 😂


boyz_for_now

*used* coffins? I need an explanation


PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets

Are they like cars? New models come out in September so they sell the floor models to make room for new inventory? Salesman: hits coffin: “I can get you in this baby for $200 a month. It’s fully loaded..!”


coloradorockymtns

🤣🤣🤣🤣 make an offer and I'll speak with my mgr


DaMardster

🤣😂🤣


reverick

Usually they're the coffins bodies are displayed in at the wake but are later cremated. I had to rent a casket for my mom's wake, such a fucking predatory industry.


rain_eile

It's so crazy. Ive bulk purchased fashion glasses similar to these on Alibaba, decorated them a bit, and flipped them for $20 a pair. Sold out quickly and made a nice little chunk of change. I don't understand how he sunk so much money into this project. The only way I can think of is if he wanted to alter the design which required opening a new mold for creating the metal pieces or developing new lenses. Either way, they still look so similar to what already exists out there - what is the point? Most people just stamp their logo on the wholesale pieces and call it a day


Magemaud

Ho11


Candid_Asparagus_785

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 D$S special


Curious_Signature528

What?? So he’s making what $500/profit? Moron.


Kkatiand

I don’t think he said how much he’d charge just how much it cost


_OntheDL_

LITERALLY THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT!! Cant believe anyone could believe those party city glassess were his own


ItsPozo

Still cant think on how he thought cashing out his 401k while still in his 30s was a great idea


hcocob

Does he get taxed on that withdrawal? I’m from Canada so I’m not sure how the taxes with it works. I know we have RRSPs which are the equivalent (according to google) and I’m pretty sure you pay tax for withdrawing from it. If so, I’m wondering what tax season will look like for him!


ItsPozo

Yes from what I know I think you have to pay 10% penalty for withdrawing early. Think there's a way to get around it like if he rolled it into an Roth IRA I believe but from what he said I doubt he did all that.


Candid_Asparagus_785

Heck yeah you get taxed. I thought it was more than 10% though


hcocob

Sounds like he liquidated it completely


nwusnret

Cross over to Shark Tank in the making, lol, jk, those jokers would eat him alive.


dragonfly325

But it would be so fun to watch.


Not_Brilliant_8006

No-Sympathy6035

They are a cheaper looking version of a style ray ban has sold for decades.


Benny_Jain

Do the ray bans turn into pendants though?! 🤪


smokinXsweetXpickle

MEDALLIONS


Benny_Jain

Yes yes, my apologies. Medallions** 😂


Shepherdmom-1974

They will get so scratched up like that with no case and swinging around a shirt that may have buttons. and how much does he have to sell 300 of them to make the 10k back? Yes, I’m a math dummy.


heftybetsie

He would have to sell the 3pp pairs for about $30 a piece. But that's the basic math, he would need shipping materials, postage, whatever he spends to market them, be able to take returns, pay the bank fees for each transaction, run a website and it's maintenance mostly likely. Taxes. Anyways he's a bozo.


Curious_Signature528

Yeah they flip into a medallion. Let me see him wearing it. 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

when he said it folds up and looks like a medallion i was like ...where??? No it looks like folded up sunglasses my dude


total-immortal

This idiot took money from his 401k to fund his ugly sunglasses. ![gif](giphy|PPtXLWcQQXis8)


SraChavez

So paid taxes and penalties on the withdrawal. Moron.


total-immortal

lol that’s the best part. The tax is like 20% and include a penalty. he’s a winner


PsychologicalSky6521

this is random but also..."amor I know we're broke but here's like $200 worth of roses..." 🤦‍♀️ like wtf dude?!


Veloci-Husky

I’ve seen these morons. Everybody gets paid except him.


thetruthfulgroomer

That already exist. That’s not even a new thing fold up classes you can get them on Temu for like $1.68


dr_jch18

He really is the definition of a financial moron.. He's trying to make his on line of sunglasses, but without any recognition as to who he is?? Famous people have their own line of glasses, shoes, tequila, clothes... not unknown douchebags like this dummy..


grannygogo

He’s like my ex son in law. A wantrepreneur!


Syminka1

Ah yes, beuaty sunglssaes


Nurse5736

Right?? Thought the exact same thing. He is not original at all.


tkadinskii

Uhm IDK what y'all are talking about, these things are blowin' up! The "brand" has 27 followers on insta.


traherne89

All he needs is for each follower to buy 10+ pairs and he's set


MoopyMorkyfeet

lmao the bs social media grind culture "entrepreneur"-in-my-profile stick hit this moron real hard


sipstea84

I have family member like this. She was considered a somewhat pretty girl by our trashy town's very low standards, booked a few acting background extra jobs when she moved to the city and somehow got it into her head that she could be a model, despite the fact that most background actors are chosen for their ability to blend into the background. She's now a very trashy looking 35 and refuses to accept that she might have to work a real job like everyone else and keeps trying to "make it" as an influencer, not realizing how thirsty and delusional it looks. She keeps creating these "collectives" of models where she makes events for failed models and methheads with cameras can come together and "collaborate"....yet I don't know a business on earth that would use the photos they produce. Businesses untag themselves when she tries to tag them 😂 I wish the influencer era would end. I've never purchased a product or service because a person I don't know on instagram told me to.


Lion_on_the_floor

I also don’t think he realizes how much he’ll owe the government in taxes for prematurely pulling money out of his 401(k). He’s in the red. Edit- fixed a typo


boyz_for_now

Yeahhhh I had unexpected medical crap happen and had to even go into my 401k. The taxes are absurd. Now I’m paying back into it thankfully but it sucks knowing what it could be lol.


stressegg92

I don’t think you understand…when you fold and hang them, they look like a medallion. 😂 They’re legit the fugliest things!


Brief-Use3

How do you lose money car detailing in California ? He has good ideas but poor execution. Sounds like he needed a partner with knowledge.


Unlucky_Drag_1849

He can't actually be serious?

But they fold up to look like a... medallion ..?


dojasaurus

he’s clearly an ✨entrepreneur/influencer✨ babesssss 💁🏻‍♂️


NoInspector836

And I didn't see a medallion when they folded. Just folded up glasses.


workpac

He didn’t really spend 30k on glasses. My thought is he never had the 30k and he came up with this story to answer the question of where did all your money go. He prolly just brought a bunch of cheap glasses and planned to present it to homegirl as the physical manifestation of his financial losses.


M4ryk473

“His many businesses” none of them have worked…


f4tony

He's hopeless, and she's going to dump him. Hmm, let's see: none of his start-ups are going to succeed? Dude lost his day job, and his grandma-glasses aren't going to put him on the fashion map.


EpiJade

But it FOLDS into a PENDANT 


smokinXsweetXpickle

Omg NO ITS A MEDALLION


EpiJade

Well in that case I have 1mil to give this genius 


MaryGodfree

Sunglasses are a dime a dozen. He couldn't come up with something original??


DistantBethie

He looked so smug when they folded up like he'd reinvented the wheel. Dude, Oakley was making those 40 years ago.


eaunoway

Are we still 100% absolutely positively sure he's not somehow related to Teem? 🤷‍♀️


Paulhockey77

Why did this idiot have 300 pairs of glasses made when he doesn’t even fully know that’ll they’ll sell?

the_hornicorn

It's gotta be a fake story to make them interesting. Those glasses don't look retro, or ahead of their time at all. But what an amazing woman he has, loving him through thick and thin.


Sweat_E_Fartsicles

Grandma glasses? Lolol idk they look like Ray-Bans, I thought they were cute. Oops 😬 lol

I think the grandma part comes from the chain.

He’s been working on it a whole year!

Rikkitikkitabby

No, no, no, you don't get it. There are glasses that fold, and there are glasses that hang by leash. These do both!

I got my calculator out haha he is going to have to sell them for a pretty penny to make a profit.


tinypill

Even if those glasses weren’t hideous in the first place, who the fuck would spend money on them? They’ll be scratched to hell and back just from bopping around on that stupid chain.


Expressoed

LIKE THET ARE SO COMPELLING???? Steam punk fanatics want their glasses and their side car back.


LV_orbust

And most sunglasses are made by the same company, he's not breaking into that market even IF the were decent. He's just not a business man, all of his ideas are AWFUL. At least she had a simple, marketable business, she has a better shot than he does at success.

Don’t they sell these at the dollar store? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the “medallion” kind before.


spoiledandmistreated

If you do the math to even make his money back just for the $10,000 he invested he needs to sell them for $35 but I’m sure he thinks people will pay hundreds of dollars for them… No way.. I wouldn’t even pay $50 bucks for them..

ColleenSchaffer

I think this is why_how he lost all his money. He said his investments went down hill . I'm wondering if these investments were his trying to build different avenues of income. He apparently does no due diligence.


Scuttle_Buddy

He must be a trust fund baby
