Millionaire Backs Down From Rags-To-Riches Challenge

A YouTube star quit his social experiment where he aimed to prove that he could be a millionaire from scratch in a year.

Mike Black sought to prove that he could make $1 million dollars from nothing, and gave up his house and car as part of the challenge. A man let him stay in his van, and Black began his journey by reselling furniture he found for free.

Unfortunately, health problems caused Black to stop his experiment 10 months in.

While the “Million Dollar Comeback Challenge” did not succeed, Black did manage to make $64,000.

“One of the best things to sell are tables,” Black said. “I started taking ads on Craigslist in the free section, putting it on Facebook Marketplace and selling it for a profit.” (mirror.co.uk)
