The millionaire idea that was born after the launch of the iPhone 5

There are many business models, but to charge people to queue for them is one that, perhaps, we did not see coming. Robert Samuel is the founder of SAME OLE LINE DUDES, a company Newyorkina company with 45 employees and more than 13 years operating. Where does it come from. In 2012, Apple launched the iPhone 5. Robert Samuel, who worked in the AT&T sales department, I knew that huge queues would be generated In New York to buy one, so he decided to publish an advertisement in Craiglist (a fairly popular advertisement platform in the United States) offering to line up to get the phone. Someone decided to pay three hours for his time and, at the time Robert was about to pay, the client informed him that he had placed the online order and no longer needed to buy it physically. Robert’s response? Sell ​​your place in line for 100 dollars, leave the last to the tail, and sell your place again until you get $ 300. There he deduced that queuing was a good business. The boom of the chronuts. A year later, in 2013, New York was involved in the fever of the Cronuts. They were literally a crazy night between a croissant and a donut. The Americans went crazy and made long lines to buy them. This shot Robert Samuel’s orders, and ended up making the meme A company that has 45 workers. SAME OLE LINE DUDES. Spanish translated as “the same usual uncles queue”, SAME OLE LINE DUDES It is a company that It has been operating since 2012 And it gives what his name promises: workers who queue for you. Purchase of concert tickets, go to a fashion cafeteria for an order, or go to the launch event of an iPhone so that you are the first to have it. They have even covered the necessary row to enter the especially media judgment of Sam Bankman-Fried, leader of the FTX crypto and accused of fraud. Prices. This company buys something very simple: your time. The minimum is two hours, with a price of $ 50. They offer packages of four, six, eight and … up to 24 hours for $ 600. Of course, these are the basic services to save tail. Paying more, we can get more. On average, The time is around 25 and 37.5 dollars. The services. Queuing is fine, but picking up your order and hand over at home is even better. For only 65 dollars an hour, the company queu you, buy your order and give it to you at home. You wait in restaurants (including groups of people), errands, Movingmessaging … The company accepts all kinds of proposals, adapting the price to the type of request. Of course, if it rains, it snows, it is hot or the time is complicated, the price of the hour rises three more dollars. Creating trend. Same Ole Line Doubes was a pioneer in this trend, followed by many other companies with the same background idea. TaskRabbit has a specific option for Taskers queue for youand even in China is a trend (especially in the hospital) to accompany and help in simple tasks in exchange for money.

In fact that question is the key to a booming business. On vacation with your pet? If you have a pet and you are looking for options not to leave it behind during your vacation, you are not alone. More and more people do it. A while ago the agencies investigated the issue and discovered that between 2019 and 2022 Google searches on accommodations that admit animals had shot 93%with 65,000 searches In the summer months. In fact more than half From those consultations they started from people who seemed more interested in finding hotels Pet Friendly At any point in Spain that in locating them in a concrete city or province, which suggests that pets are key when planning the getaways. That interest also corroborates the travel agencies o Booking, one of the great platforms in the sector: in approximately 2023 eight million of people used pet filters while searching accommodation on their website. Hotels with them or for them. To that growing interest in hotels Pet Friendly The one of the specific residences for animals is added, which according to the marketing agency generated 80,210 consultations on average in June 2022. And the trend does not seem to have declined. A quick search arrives on Google to find a Good handful of news that They speak of The high demand of the Canine Hotels, the diversification OF THE OFFER (WITH ACCOMMODATIONS “deluxe” for dogs) or how your activity He has shot with the Animal Welfare Law. New demand, new business. That interest has not only promoted New businesses focused on taking care of pets while their owners go on vacation. The hotels themselves have decided to adapt. There is estimates They talk about almost One third (30%) of Booking accommodations support pets. If you are looking for a room for two people between August 18 and 24 in Spain, without specifying destination, its search engine showed 70,700 options on Thursday. When using the pet filter stays in about 17,400more or less 25%. “They usually invest more”. A few weeks ago the Palladium Hotel Group gave a The country A key to understanding that interest: admitting pets can lead to certain changes in the operation of accommodation, but also has its reflection on the income sheet. “Travelers who choose accommodations Pet Friendly They usually invest more in their stay, whether in broader suites or additional services, which positively impacts average spending by host, ” Recognize.

Maybe it sounds strange, but a considerable percentage His pets already accompanied by people. And that despite the fact that airlines and companies in charge of operating railway and bus services do not always make it easy to travel with animals. Even the Imserso It has adapted To the trend. More pets than children. That there are more and more demand and businesses focused on pets is better understood if a key fact is handled: in Spain there are more (Many more) Company animals that children. In September The world He pulled calculator And it came out that there are almost six furry companions for each child under four years. While the latter have fallen during the last decade to represent 3.7% of the population, pets touch the 10.5 million. After contacting all the veterinary schools of Spain, The country contributed Another estimate A few months ago: at the beginning of 2025 in the country there were around 1.6 million cats and 9.3 million dogs. In total: 10.9 million censored pets, without counting reptiles, birds, fish and other species. From the Reiac they point out that the figure “is not real at all” (there are animals without chip and owners who do not discharge them when they die), but it is the one that approaches reality. In any case, it clearly exceeds the number of children in Spain. In 2022 the INE counted 1.8 million about 6.5 million With less than 15 years. A Milmillonario business. Their data is not the only ones that reflect the growing weight of pets in Spanish society. It is calculated that in 80% of the municipalities From Malaga there are already double pets than children and the first They already double to the latter. At an economic level that translates into a lucrative business of thousands of millions of euros. Estimates do not always coincide, but give an idea of ​​their reach and how it has evolved. In 2017 it was estimated that in the EU the pet business invoiced 36.5 billion euroswith the Spanish market occupying the fifth position. Since then, despite the fact that the sector has given some moderation samples, the figure would have increased considerably. ANFAAC talks about almost 2,000 million In 2023 and there are estimates that raise clear that sum.

Spain has made weddings a huge millionaire business that does not touch a roof

In Spain Give the “yes I want” It is more than a demonstration of love and commitment. Weddings are also a great huge business that moves every year thousands of millions of euros, he uses thousands of professionals and a considerable part of the savings of couples is carried. And to show a button: according to The last report of weddings.net, the average cost of the links held last year in Spain amounted to 24,618 euros, 17% more That only two years ago. And so Not counting with the 5,200 of the honeymoon. Question of love (and euros). Weddings in Spain are tradition. And business. One that moves thousands of millions of euros. That is no novelty. What is curious is that its cost has grown in recent years to Recover the land lost in the worst of the financial crisis. Let’s see. If we take a look at the historical series, we verify that in 2005 the “invoice” of the links stood in Spain above the 25,000 eurosfigure that was reduced during the worst years of the recession until it was below 13,000 in 2013. The trend in recent times has been different. According to statista, in 2019 organize a wedding in Spain cost on average $ 23,400about 20,800 euros to change. The data coincides with the one that managed by the same dates the wedes.net portal, which placed the total invoice in 20,808 euros. According to the same platform, in 2022 that invoice had already grown until lightly exceeding the 21,000 euros And now its most recent report estimates it in 24,618. An ascending curve. Although it may be shocking, weddings are not exactly the same in all of Spain. Weddings.net He manages studies that show for example that on average the number of guests to a link in Murcia or Castilla-La Mancha far exceeds that of the weddings of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia or the Canary Islands. If we take into account that, the different price between regions and the varieties of criteria when preparing the studies (what is taken into account when estimating the total cost of a ceremony) is understood that The calculation It is not simple. His latest report leaves a clear idea: marrying comes out more and more expensive. Of 21,056 euros on average per link three years ago 23,750 in 2023 and 24,618 in 2024. The figure that has been calculated thanks to interviews with 6,700 couples They gave themselves the “yes I want” last year. The authors of the study also ensure that they have taken into account people from all over the country and covered a diverse sample in terms of ages, ethnic groups, rent, age and sexual orientation. Is it a lot of money? There is an interesting way to answer that question: compare the average cost of weddings held in the country with what (at least) a Spanish worker enters on average for a year. Exercise shows revealing conclusions, such as if we add the average bill of a link (24,618 euros) and the honeymoon (5,178) The total invoice (29,800) is equivalent to a good part of what the Spaniards perceive over a year, at least via salarieswithout counting extra sources such as income. According to the INE, in 2022 the “average annual gain per worker” was in Spain in 26,948 euros while the medium salary marked 22,383 and the modal (the most frequent) was around 14,586. The most recent data show that in 2024 the Middle salary (before taxes) It was from 1,987 euros a month. One year of work. During 2022 the average wedding price was 21,056 euros, amount to which the honeymoon’s invoice was added: 3,000 on average For those who traveled through Spain and 6,000 for those who decided to leave the country. If we take into account that data, the result is that a wedding with a standard trip abroad added practically the same than an average annual salary. Reviewing the invoices. That weddings reach these high figures is greatly explained by the cost of banquets, which take a considerable pinched pinched. If in 2022 a link It cost average 21,056 eurosabout 10,600 corresponded to that chapter. The second expense, quite a distance, was the wedding dress and the accessories, which were around 2,150. To that amount It is added The price of the pedida ring and the honeymoon. Last year the average budget for the newly married trip was 5,178. Maybe it seems a lot, but According to Bodas.net 89% of couples ended up making their bags stop vacation or at least one getaway (NINIMOON). But … how do you pay? The report is interesting because it also answers that question. And the conclusion is that a good part of the invoices are financed with what the guests contribute. “48% of couples pay the wedding obtaining money as a wedding gift, while 39% use their savings account,” Precise. This distribution of expenses makes Spain a large extent one of the nations that most invest in links. In 2019 statista elaborated A ranking With a dozen countries and Spain occupied second place, ahead of France or Portugal. It only exceeded it, where couples were spent on average $ 29,200.

He did not create either of the two companies that made him a millionaire

Elon Musk, al Like Jeff Bezos And many other millionaires have tried to create the image of a genius that made himself starting from scratch, romantizing an image of the Garage Founding Myth even Apple has been able to sustain In time. Around Elon Musk They have raised many myths and legends that, although they start from a certain base, have exaggerated or omitted parts to contribute to epic to their career. However, time, which puts everything in place, has been in charge of denying. To name a few, there is the myth of the emerald mines in Zambia of his father, the Tesla Foundation or the unknown about whether Tesla itself or Space X would have survived if not for some of the government programs that now He is dismantling Doge. Elon Musk’s beginnings Elon Musk grew up in a wealthy family in South Africa. His father, Errol Musk, was a hustler with a career full of ups and downs. However, as his father declared in an interviewdid not own The emerald minesbut her shareholder, so she received a certain amount of precious stones for some years in the 80s. Anyway, Errol Musk describes During the interviewThat Elon Musk’s childhood and his brothers was full of luxuries. Among them that included the plane (which he sold to buy his participation in the Esmeraldas mine) or, as Walter Isaacson said in Elon Musk’s biography, “(…) swam in abundance. He had a Rolls-Royce Corniche Dorado convertible.” While it is true that during the Musk brothers student stage, Errol Musk was very far from being a millionaire and did not always provide them with enough money, he supported Elon and Kimbal Musk when they started their first venture, selling some of the Erroldas Musk emeralds in Tiffany’s of New York. In 1995, when the Musk brothers founded their Zip2 Business Board of Directors, their father financed them with $ 28,000 and His mother, Maye Musk, He contributed 10,000 more. Elon Musk denied this information In an interview For Rolling Stone, although he reduced the tone in his biography ‘Elon Musk: Tesla, Spacex, and The Quest for a fantastic future’ From Ashlee Vance ensuring that his father had participated in 10% of the company’s initial investment, making it clear that his family gave him a great initial economic impulse. More ambition than management After the initial family capital, Zip2 opened the door to new investors, including Greg Kouri, who soon realized that Elon Musk did not have enough experience to take the reins and degraded him to technology director, while Rich Sorkin took command. According to writer Ashlee Vance, the initial code of ZIP2, written mainly by Musk, contained many errors and the engineers who hired They had to rewrite it almost completely. Despite those deficiencies, Elon Musk did not hesitate to download their anger on them shouting in front of everyone who had to “fix their stupid shit code,” Isaacson said in Musk’s biography. In 1999, ZIP2 sold to Compaq by 307 million dollarswhich made Musk brothers a millionaires. They were the origin of the first 22 million dollars that Elon Musk won. After the sale of ZIP2, Musk co -founded the platform of Banking online x.comwhich later merged with his main rival: Confinity of Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, to form Paypal. Although Musk often presents himself as Paypal’s visionary co -founder, the truth is that PayPal’s original technology came from Confinity, not X.com, which contributed the user base. Musk was the CEO of the new company during the first six months, but he was fired by replacing him with Peter Thiel in September 2000, taking advantage of a Musk trip to Australia. One of the reasons were the constant tensions with Max Levchin for Musk’s trend to risky technological changes, such as replacing all PayPal UNIX infrastructure with Microsoft Windows. Ironically, “Musk admired Bill Gates, he loved Windows NT and thought Microsoft was a more reliable partner,” Isaacson wrote in Musk’s biography. That admiration It would not last for many years further. Although, as a shareholder, Musk earned a lot of money when Ebay bought Paypal, he was no longer in command of the company. In any case, his fortune had increased in 180 million dollars more for the agreement of 1.5 billion dollars with eBay. Tesla: Take control and rewrite the story Many people believe that Elon Musk is one of the founders of Tesla and in part it is because the founders of Tesla allowed it. Actually, Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by two engineers, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenninglong before Musk got involved. Musk joined Tesla in 2004, when the company was still not clear what they were going to manufacture. Musk used his money to accelerate the project becoming the main investor. He appointed himself president of the Board of Directors, despite being just an investor, as the co -founders counted In an interview for CNBC. Over time, Musk took more control of the company and fired the original founders. In 2007, Musk fired Martin Eberhard and held the CEO position he still holds in 2008. Eberhard sued Musk, accusing him of taking control of the company, orchestrating his dismissal and trying to rewrite the history of Tesla in his efforts to appear in the company’s documents as a founder, when the company already existed when he invested in it. Finally, Eberhard saw forced to give in and sign an agreement in which Musk was allowed present yourself as “co -founder” next to the true founders. His great achievement was to appropriate a promising company founded by others, and then take advantage of his visionary image of the electric car. This does not mean that Musk has contributed to the success of the brand, but contradicts the idea that he founded Tesla from scratch. Public money to the rescue of Tesla and Spacex In addition to private investments, Elon Musk has benefited from billions of public money to build your empire. Tesla’s case is … Read more

Indonesia will finally raise the veto of the iPhone 16, according to Bloomberg. The key is in a millionaire investment of Apple

At the end of last year, Indonesia prohibited sale of the iPhone 16. The surprising measure did not go unnoticed, but what really caught attention was the reason: Apple had not invested enough in the country. Google either had better luck. Shortly after, The authorities vetoed the marketing of the Pixelalthough they never officially sold in Indonesia. Now, everything indicates that the situation is about to take a turn. The return of the sale of the iPhone seems imminent Bloomberg points out that Apple and the Indonesian Ministry of Industry They reached an agreement to lift the smartphone prohibition. The sources indicate that the movement should be formalized this week. The Indonesian government plans to hold a press conference to publicize the details of the commitment.

The firm led by Tim Cook would have committed to invest no less than 1,000 million dollars in Indonesiaa figure ten times higher than the one previously destined for the creation of several Apple Developer Academy. And what will that money be invested? As explained, Apple will allocate it to the construction of an AirTags production plant in collaboration with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., an old Chinese partner of the Cupertino company.

In addition, Apple will continue to finance its programming academies in the country. The prohibition of the iPhone 16 that is now about to disappear has been supported by a regulation that establishes that certain products must have a national component level certificate (TKDN) The TKDN is an index of the percentage of national components used in production. Apple and Google mobile devices They must reach 40% In the mentioned metric, but there are many ways to meet this requirement. Companies that do not manufacture their products in Indonesia usually resort to agreements with local suppliers at some point in their supply chain. Other strategies, such as hiring local labor and investments, also contribute. And if you wonder why Apple is so determined to overcome this prohibition, the answer is simple: it is about The greatest economy of Southeast Asia and The fourth most populous nation in the world . That is, of a large market. Images | Trac vu | Apple In Xataka | Proudly American: Apple will invest more money than ever in the United States in full tariff threat

A good sample of how they are able to return chaos in their favor in a creative way, but that has a spiny back: it will cost a million euros to the public entity. Different formulas. Practically from the moment of the premiere of the Broncano program, RTVE was experiencing with different formulas to locate the microspace that gives the lottery information. First he broadcast it immediately after the news. Then he located it after the end of ‘La Revuelta’, but the channel audiences plummeted. In autumn of 2024 he even relegated the space at midnight, but after receiving a warning of lotteries, RTVE saw that he would have no choice but to allow the results of the lottery to be issued in the course of ‘La Revuelta’. It happened on December 9. Humor reigns. Since then, ‘La Revuelta’ decided to face the obligation with humor. Has taken advantage to launch Pullites to competitionShow a 75 -second count in even Jorge Ponce He came to threaten the spectators Less faithful with a razor. That was the turn: since then, fiction pieces were created that could be enjoyed without volume, which was given to the Lotteries’ miniespace, and that tended a bridge towards mood classics such as’ The Office ‘. Among the most memorable, A discussion of Jorge Ponce with the teambut there has been everything since Whodunits at full speed to first aid courses or, of course, References to the Meme of the Moment. Problems with lotteries. The agreement signed with lotteries and bets of the State forced public television to broadcast the results between 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Only for extraordinary and justified reasons, as a special informative could be delayed, always with prior to the public.

The most millionaire form of Ferdinand Porsche’s grandson to save a slope

Wolfgang Porsche, president of the Porsche Board of Directors and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, is raising controversy among the residents of Salzburg (Austria). The millionaire has proposed to build An underground tunnel deprived of about 500 meters under the mountain where one of its seventeenth century is located. The most striking of all, is the reason why he wants to build this tunnel: avoid a brief section of road that winds down the slope of Mount Kapuzinerberg by joining it with the urban center of the city. The new Millionaire neighbor. According to The published By the German newspaper DerstandardWolfgang Porsche bought in 2020 the villa Paschinger-Schlössl for about 8.4 million and is currently under rehabilitation works. That is, it is not even about Millionaire’s main house 81 years. The village of a palatial nature is located on a slope of the mountain of Monte Kapuzinerberg, which acts as one of Salzburg’s green lungs, and had belonged to the writer Stefan Zweig. “Complicated” access. As usual in the places built on a mountain, the narrow road with only access lane to the place, runs through the side of the mountain saving a slope with about 50 meters of unevenness. Apparently, the president of one of the largest manufacturers of German supercar distracks him to travel a brief section of mountain to reach his residence. According to local sources, the narrow access through a 16th -century wall tends to collapse due to the difficulty of access, it can be dangerous in winter. The least is the tunnel. According to published Spiegelto avoid the stretch of road, the millionaire believes more appropriate to build an underground tunnel under its mansion, so that the landscape value of the place would not be altered. This work would allow to communicate a private parking for nine cars that will be built next to the town, with urban parking located at the base of the mountain. The bureaucratic procedures for the execution of the work are already very advanced and even the millionaire would have already paid about 40,000 euros in concept of access to the existing urban parking. The neighbors see it as a privilege for rich. The Bürgerliste Local Party has questioned the modest access rate that the millionaire has paid. While the amount of your personal fortune is not publicly known, it is estimated that the fortune of the Porsche/Piëch family whose fortune is estimated in about 38.8 billion dollars. Beyond the protests for the supposed privilege of access to the new neighbor, there is legal level they have nothing to object. According to “Kellerrecht“or” Bodega Law “, the property of Wolfgang Porsche is not limited to the land and the town built in it, but also to everything under the town.” Theoretically, these lands could be used even to the core of the Earth, “said a report by the municipal technical entity.

There is a country in Europe where one in three inhabitants is a millionaire and only 46% were born there: Monaco

If you think of a city in Europe that the supercar is already part of the landscape of their streets, luxury stores follow each other on their boulevards and the supereyates are attached to their marinas, you are probably Thinking about Monaco. However, luxury and exclusivity do not remain in the posture of its streets. One of the higher concentrations of millionaire population of all the Mediterranean. So much so, that the majority of its population is foreign and is one of the countries in which it is more complicated to belong to the richest 1% of its population, according to the report ‘The Wealt Report of 2024‘Prepared by the consultant Knight Frank. Monaco’s population is not Monegasca. With an area of ​​just 2.02 km2, the Principality is the second smallest country in the world, only behind the Vatican. According to demographic data, In 2023 it had a census population of 38,367 inhabitants, of which 21,042 citizens They are of foreign originmainly from France, Italy and the United Kingdom. This means that only 46% of the total population is of Monegasco origin. In recent years, the percentage of the population of foreign millionaires It has been decliningbut in the 60s of the last century, they reached figures close to 70% of its population. High density of millionaires. According to Knight Frank’s report, in Monaco there are some 13,400 people of very high purchasing power. That assumes that approximately 35% of its resident population, has a equity available to invest more than one million dollars, discarding the value of its habitual residence from that amount. The economic data They point out that the GDP per capita of the Principality of Monaco in 2023 was 256,580 dollars, compared to the $ 33,500 in Spain, the 44,690 dollars of France or the 99,564 dollars recorded Switzerland. In Monaco it is difficult to be “rich”. Belonging to 1% of the richest elite is not easy in any country, but being in one with the density of a millionaire per m2 that Mónaco has is even more complicated. According to Knight Frank data, to belong to the 1% richest population in Monaco, it will be necessary to have a heritage of more than $ 12,883,000. Instead, for belong to the 1% richest in Spainthe same person would need a heritage of $ 2,468,000 or $ 5,813,000 to be considered part of that millionaire elite in the US. No taxes and no tax havens. For decades, Monaco was considered a fiscal paradise for his low taxation and the fiscal secret that protected its inhabitants. International diplomacy has made small principality open its archives and, with it, left the fiscal paradise lists. Despite that, its residents enjoy a total absence of direct imposition. That is, there is neither IRPF nor societies for companies. Income and assets are not subject to imposition, so there are no taxes on investment income, capital gains, dividends or yields such as worker, freelance or manager of a company. The only taxation that can support those fortunes that have more than 25% of their activity outside Monaco is a 25% tax on benefits.
