32 of the Wildest Ways People Have Made Money
Though being born rich is a surefire way to have a crazy amount of money, it’s a little late for most of us to go that route. But fret not, there are still ways to make a boatload of cash. You just have to be willing to get weird.
One Redditor had a classmate who made a killing off of tumbleweed. You read that right — tumbleweed, the stuff that people drive by on the side of the road and don’t give a second thought. Tumbleweed Guy would take a van to the desert, collect the bunched up thistle and sell it to Hollywood studios for the set design of blockbuster westerns.

Other Redditors have divulged the craziest ways they’ve seen someone rake in some serious scratch, including schemes that included bottled air, resold rocks and a classified ad that paid for itself.
