Franco walks through his mansion, reveals real store dashboards showing $124,000 in a single day, and explains the formula behind his success. The video mixes wealth porn with actionable advice for young entrepreneurs. ### Key Points - **Franco’s background** [00:42] — Franco is 22, originally from near Birmingham, UK, and now lives in a 10,000-square-foot mansion with multiple companies in his portfolio. - **Revenue leap** [01:09] — When he moved into the mansion, his businesses were making $6–7 million a year; they now make $50–60 million a year. - **The 100x formula** [04:11] — Franco's scaling framework: scale what's working, get better outsourcing, find and manage talent, add more revenue streams, build momentum, and retire his mom. - **Daily numbers** [04:52] — One company made $124,000 on January 20, and the same store did $1.8 million in the first 21 days of January – roughly $10,000 per hour. - **Early failure and first win** [05:44] — Started his first store at 14, failed for two years, then sold a Galaxy projector during COVID 2020 and did $100,000 in sales in about two weeks. - **Private equity as the 7-to-8-figure lever** [06:49] — Franco says private equity was the biggest driver of his income increase, often receiving equity without paying because founders valued his ideas and strategy. - **Take risks while young** [08:56] — His advice: pursue every opportunity without fear; the biggest cost is opportunity cost, not monthly expenses. - **Side-hustle blueprint** [10:15] — Flip free furniture from Facebook Marketplace for $50–100, or dropship on eBay without paying for ads. - **The work ethic argument** [11:25] — Franco says the process takes longer than you think, and asks: 'How arrogant are you to think that you can outperform those people by not even trying?' - **Real or fake Maybach?** [12:20] — The suspension bounce test in off-road mode confirms the Maybach Edition 100 is real – or a very good AliExpress replica. ### Conclusion Franco’s story mixes real e-commerce numbers with influencer-style flexing, but the core lessons — early risk-taking, compounding skills, and using opportunity cost as a guide — are actionable. The video is more motivation than deep investigation. ## Transcript >> So, this is Franco. He sells digital products online and he makes over $100,000 every single day. But what crazy is he wasn't always like this. A couple of years ago, he was working at a minimum wage job, not even making over $2,000 a month. So, how the hell did he to be figuring out today. There is a like goal on this video of just 1,000 like button because once we hit the like goal, I'll put a present in the pin And it also tells me that you want to see more content [music] like this. With that being said, let's get into it. We've just arrived at Franco's mansion. crew. >> So, my name is Franco. I'm 22 years old. I'm from the UK, but now living out here business. Basically have multiple companies inside our portfolio. We're right now, which is uh pretty cool. I'm going to tell you all about it. Bro, that I can join? >> Before we carry on, what was you living in in the UK? Was it anything like this? >> No, bro. So, obviously I'm from like close to Birmingham, basically. Same same sort of place as you. Um, so obviously I was living with my family compared to now I'm living in a 10,000 here, the one that [music] we're literally standing in right now, has literally when we moved into this house, we were making around $6 to $7 million a >> [music] >> $50 to $60 million every single year. house tour. I've got a little room in here that I want to show you. And again, this kind of goes more into the part of why this house is designed to make me >> It's a It's a surprise. >> Okay. No. [laughter] >> Yeah. So, in here, we've literally got the gym. I'm in here every single day >> Should we do a challenge? Who can do more pull-ups? Me or Franco? Before we didn't tell me about this. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. >> Let's go. Good. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 >> Let's go. Good. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 >> 24 25 >> Guys, I'll be honest with you. I don't think I'm going to beat that. 1. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Okay. 17 18 19 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Okay. 17 18 19 [music] 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 28 29 Come on. 30 Oh my days. really good, bro. Was it close to Christ? You got 30. thing you see when you walk into this house is literally a massive ping- pong pong tables? Everyone that's rich that has a nice big mansion has this or the it? If I buy one of these, will I be successful? money. >> Okay. Don't do one of those crazy like playing like this. >> My best mate is really good. Yeah, >> No. >> All disrespect disregard fools. All of writing statements. [music and singing] Oh my lord, there's rats at large. I popped it soft, but I turn it hard like a dog. None of my applied no pressure. [music] challenge. So, as you guys can see, there's literally also like a huge always asks me, have you ever filled it up? And the answer is no. >> So, talk me through this workstation. 1 2 3. Camille, this is where the money >> This is the job you've promised me now. >> Yeah. So maybe you can jump on there. >> 100x formula one scale. What is working? Get better outsourcing. Find talent and manage. Add more rev streams. Number four, get motion. And the last thing is retire mom. Amen. Let me know if you guys agree with this. Since moving in, I can confidently say all of it is Tik Tok. So I actually own four different you a little bit of sneak peek into the numbers [music] that they actually make. every single hour are making money for me. Some of them I founded from the invested into as well. I'll go ahead and show you literally actually the numbers is one of the companies yesterday, 20th of January, we made $124,000 each hour. For example, 1 p.m. $8,822 example, $9,468 made. So, every single hour, we're dollars, even close to $10,000 an hour. This is just on one of the companies out >> Bro, can you refresh the screen? Google inspect element. >> Yeah, it's [laughter] all stayed the same. Just yesterday, you did $124,000. [music] to be honest. Literally, it's the 21st of January today. So, so far on this one store, obviously 21 days, we've made 1.8 million. People say digital products are dead, especially in 2026, but after seeing these numbers, that is wild. I started my first ever store when I was 14 years old. Failed basically for two 2 years straight [music] until I was 16 years old, and that's when I had like the the Galaxy projector, if you guys remember that product. I was selling it in literally peak COVID 2020, which was like the perfect time. I went from having basically nothing in my bank account to [music] within the space of I think it was like two weeks I'd done $100,000 in sales and then yeah I and more into it started opening more drop shipping stores and partnering with million dollars in [music] sort of revenue with with drop shipping >> and what made you start a business like what made you think I don't want to do the corporate life I don't want to work a 9 to5 what made you have the ambition >> to be honest literally since I was a kid I saw you know my family members my life and uh it's not that there was anything wrong with it but I I could it you know working that their whole life I wanted to do something more where I had my own freedom and I could lead a team [music] and I could literally be my driver for me along with the fact that I wanted to soon as possible help them now thankfully they're both retired they're not working um they're actually is going to be very nice >> so you went from zero to seven figures and above with drop shipping and then What got you from seven figures to 8 >> Biggest driver of my income increase that's when I started to get into private equity. So I've actually been [music] industry because obviously I have loads of leverage. I have loads of loads of ideas which they don't have and a lot of different things that I can cases [music] I've not even had to pay for the equity. They've just given me our previous companies because they can see the big value that I'm going to bring when I come into their company and I can bring all of my assets, all of my strategy that has worked previously for my other companies and I can apply that company because I've gone ahead and got equity. But with that being said, I want to get out, get a coffee. So, I've got no car. I've been Ubering here the last couple of weeks. Maybe we should jump into the garage and see what's in there. guys. So, if you were to guess before we get into the garage what Franco's [music] driving, if he's a guru, it's probably going to be a Huracan. So, what Hurricane. >> New year, new money, but it's the same >> This isn't a regular Mayback. This is >> This is the fake badge. edition. There's only 100 of these Maybacks in the world. What makes this so special? You only have 100 Maybacks in the world. It's me and Drake is also has this badge. See, the wheels literally say edition 100, one of 100 anniversary. But I want to ask you something. We both know AliExpress. We both know China. What's stopping me from getting these from AliExpress? actually hit up my China suppliers from when I drop shipped and that's how I >> One way to tell if this is real is if the suspension bounces cuz you can't fake that. >> Off to the coffee shop, lads. [music] >> Easy, mate. Easy. Can't break down and cry. putting blood, [singing] sweat and your fears you watch a move disappear. So watching this that are inspired by all of this, what advice can you give them if they were to start a brand new business in [music] 2026? I'm going to that most people that are watching this are kind of like I was when I was sort of growing up and that's just young and hungry. um you know just trying to make it work by any means necessary. So in that case I would say while you're young literally take whatever risk that you can. Any sort of opportunity that comes to [music] you you need to not be scared and just go all into it. Maybe you work make a little bit of money but the opportunity cost is the biggest cost in you're ever going to pay. Not actually your expense and what you pay for a month. So obviously that's that's a cost. But the opportunity cost of me not living in that place [music] with my best mates and my business partners and having that setup where I literally have everything literally perfected and Um the opportunity cost of that is millions of dollars, you know. So it's a actually then go ahead and start making millions extra because of that, you opportunity cost rather than the [music] actual cost of things because that is when you actually [music] increase the timeline. It's not what the costs. It's actually what it's going to cost you if you don't do it. >> Now, for the guys that are watching this that have a job and they're not sure watching this either complain they don't have enough money or they complain they money, what should they do? What I did was I always looked for those sort of nothing. You know, there is business models out there where you don't need to drop ship, but not even on Shopify because you have to pay for ads. I would drop ship on [music] eBay. I would drop ship on these random platforms and sell them for more. So, I would just flip things basically. thing. I used to buy furniture on Facebook Marketplace where people would rid of it for free. Yeah. And then I'd sell it for like $50 or $100. But what extra job, but they're just being lazy and they just haven't got the mindset to you don't want it enough, you're not going to get it at the end of the day. happen. And that's something [music] that you need to accept from very early on is it's going to take you a hell of a lot of work. Even [music] the amount of take you from when you start putting in the reps and and and start working hard, to take you to make your first million, double it. It's going to take way longer than that to actually get there because this [music] process is not easy. And why would it be easy? you know, every single person, you know, well, most of single day they wake up and they clock into work and, you know, um that's hard. That's what a lot of people [music] do. So, how arrogant are you to think that literally, you know, outperform those people by not even trying? And just some quick ones guys before we head [music] off is if you haven't got the mental capacity to outwork your other people, get more jobs, [music] get more cash to being able to use that cash flow or that capital at a business which is at risk. risk. There is no guarantees in business, but that's why it has the highest ROI. You can make the most money, but also there's no guarantees. [music] for 2026 if you want to hit one let's move on. Let's do it. Okay, so the moment of truth. Is this a fake Mayback? Let's test the suspension. All right, bro. We'll do it. This is the ultimate verification [music] test. We go off Mayback mode. Put it into off-road mode. Okay, off-road assist. Free driving mode. We click that start. Is it going mode. We click that start. Is it going to bounce? Holy, we're bouncing. Damn, to bounce? Holy, we're bouncing. Damn, that's is absolutely crazy. This is either a very good AliExpress mailback [laughter] or this is the real thing. But this is crazy. That was crazy. Mad inspiration.
