thank you for having me CAM it's a it's a privilege it's an honor you know what I'm saying it's so much that I want to talk about bro right well well what do you want to start with first off I mean the resume born in aeran yes right Baku aeran yeah Baku uh the mother of my one of the mother of my children is from a had a cool moment prior to the show cuz I called her to call see if somebody was lying to see right what what language were you guys speak in Russian Russian right it was part of the Soviet Union and um we came around the same time I mean how old is she if you don't mind my asking I uh she's 37 same age as me so we came in 1993 right 9392 so is she Jewish no all right cuz I came as a Jewish Refugee I don't know how she got here but so there was a war between um Armenia and azaran at that time which they restarted one reason or another and that's why people were able to get out of there at that time is that your Edge is that my Edge like you're like every time I talk to a refugee right right like they feel like that's their Edge to like life you know in business and and just living yeah well that was a life experience you know what I'm saying you're you're not starting out living in American culture you're starting out living in a completely different culture then it's time to pack your bags [ __ ] hits the fan it's time to pack your bags with your family and start again and that builds character obviously you know whatever takes is what really gives and um that was uh good you know in in retrospect that was a good experience to put you into perspective mhm so 37 years old yep family I have a sister and my parents you know and cousins I didn't start my own family I don't have any baby mamas damn what you trying to what you trying I mean there's nothing wrong with that but I don't have any I mean uh you know maybe I'm late to the game do you want to have a family yeah absolutely absolutely it's about time I'm late like I said but you got a lot of watches to tell the time yeah now how do we we get to this moment if you had to go back right right stopping where you at right now or halting where you are right now what age was you like yo you know my glory years are just starting that's the crazy part you know I'm not an athlete you know what I'm saying it's not like I look over my shoulder and remember when it was you know champagne in the locker room you know what I'm saying all all my was was on the grind battling these animals in the Diamond District tooth and nail you know I'm uh building my name and now it's coming fruition now it's it's bearing fruit so now I have a company that brings in capital and now I could go fly out to Dallas to see DJ diesel or to come out to Atlanta to see you and do business and you know what I'm saying have my money correct and so on and so forth so but in my 20s I don't even remember where I was or what I did I was on the grind 12 hours a day didn't even have time to drink water sometimes you know what I'm saying throughout the day just so busy trying to figure out [ __ ] you know I had a a good kind heart they were jumping on my back trying to take advantage of me I was naive so you know I had a lot of scars from that and um you know I learned and then I was able to you know I started the business when I was 18 yeah and I'm turning 37 today that's 19 years today happy birthday thank you bro thank you that's that's the fact that you're just so reserved and settled you know what I'm saying that says a lot about you too so like how did we get to this point of the jury industry being your out or your way to you know more well listen I graduated high school and I'm I needed to make money I'm not going to school I'm not listening to the teachers I'm not doing that and at that time eBay was coming up and uh I realized I could get on the eBay market so I started photographing jewelry at this jewelry store I found and putting it up on eBay and when I would sell something then I would go to to the jewelry store buy it and then ship it and keep the difference so I didn't have any starting Capital it was about 1,500 bucks really and I was able to buy a digital camera photograph get people's attention and uh utilize the brand new Marketplace at that time which was eBay and start building a business and getting my foot through the door because I wanted to make money and get going and um uh you know jewelry was exclusive to New York you could put it online people around the country and you don't have access to The Cutting Edge of that stuff and I was able to start that journey to build a life you know get get get my dollar know I'm saying that's really what it was so at what age did I mean did it did it kind of make sense to you right or who was doing it in a way that caught your eye like yo I can make money selling jewelry or to the point of I can turn a profit yeah in this in this specific SP think that I could you know I just tried it I said you know let me try this before I go to co college and get a c minus average uh you know trying to make it through the day um well let me go and photograph this piece I sold it um and then I realized I could do another one I sold that one and then I realized all right now it's time to take it serious photograph some stuff hire my friend to edit and day by day I was getting my you know if I had if I believed in myself I would have been a $100 million strong right now that was a wide open market I could have made a million my first year you know what I'm saying but because I was [ __ ] footing around scared thinking will I ever make money will I ever conquer this business will I ever make my name for myself doubting myself all the time I um played myself essentially so but how how because at that time all I had to do was buy a couple of castings set a couple of diamonds work out with the diamond dealers and I would have been making $100,000 a month but instead I was taking a picture wait stop stop grossing or profit profit 100 Grand at 19 18 per month was on the table looking back now realizing how I was being a little [ __ ] and crying at the at the at the edge of my bed thinking will I ever make it when there was a big vast all you had to do was throw the net out there there was fish in there you got to abundance it's already the market was already it was there it was 2004 there was no economic collapse there was no nothing everything was there the customers were piling up and I was the first one on eBay you know and even with all the the the the [ __ ] uh footing around eBay invited me to Congress I lobbied in Congress because I was in the top 1% of sellers so you know and I'm looking back at that now and I'm thinking damn man if I tune out all the [ __ ] all of my friends popping pills smoking blunts driving around the neighborhood and start if I tuned all that out and really focused and believed where I had the left foot you know what I'm saying where I was testing the waters if I just put both feet in yeah $100 million right now by now yeah private jet to that point break down because I'm really excited that I have a um you have all the answers to any question any question in in in in in jury I have an answer to yeah how do you make your money is it the is it obviously you said cost Goods labor everything else is profit right well right now I'm selling $3.5 million a month Hold Up Wait who 3.5 million a month you know 40 million a year M or or B M million million so you know 40 million a year thereabouts with Christmas season so on and so forth um and uh you know the cost of goods is about between me and you and whoever's watching for their educational purposes about 2.6 million on that okay so that's a million doll a month gross but you know there's the rent the advertising and the salaries of 60 people on Che and that's coming out to 600 Grand Che 700 Grand a month a month so that's that's your overhead that's my overhead okay and the rest of the money goes into new inventory more gold more [ __ ] but I was able to stretch that profit margin because now I produce before I was getting hit in the head you know like I'm producing it myself so like you know if I was Honda I would have the Honda Factory not the dealership yeah you know what I'm saying because if you're just a dealership your margins are nothing so in more lamest terms if you're just a dealer you don't make the money if you're if you the plug right producing it yeah yeah in different type of commodity right that's when you make the money yeah you make you make double you know what I'm saying I mean if sometimes the dealer or the producer has to get a dealer to distribute you know what I'm saying like um you know if you we'll use the metaphor Scarface which I'm sure you've seen yeah you had Tony Montana and then you had um what was the other guy's name I forgot back in Bolivia um uh the the the big producer that he you know in the end had him killed or whatever it is was it that wasn't his friend no that wasn't his friend I mean does anybody remember the guy's name or whatever so the guy in Bolivia he was producing the uh you know the powder so to speak and then Tony would be Distributing it in Miami yeah they were both making money however you know had he had his own plantations in Bolivia he would be making more or that guy would be have his own distribution he'd be making more so I'm more of the Boston George and Diego blow sure so when he first came on the scene obviously it was just you know he was getting served from somebody else not the necessarily plug right there was a scene and blow where uh he's holding back the plug George Goes to uh Columbia to meet uh as we know Pablo Escobar oh yeah yeah and then now he got obviously The Graces from him right so yeah so I control my own operation on that end you know what I'm saying so I don't have any loose ends I don't have anybody outside but I have to share the money that's where the expenses comes in there's no way around it you know I don't want to sit here wake up in the morning talk to clients and sell the jewelry and [ __ ] so I just want to produce it and have sales guys pay them well people making 100 they're making 150 a year they can make 200 uh you know Grand a year uh working for me guys that you know that know how to do a fair business and and keep their nose clean or whatever it is so you know like and then you got to regulate and you got to know people you know what I'm saying that's the business so I'm little by little expanding on that end and trying to make up for lost times yeah well Kent crra sport milk that's what we all know about life I think you knowing the mistakes or the hindrances that you had early on in your life that has produced the person that we see today one thing that I will say is that I'm most intrigued about hearing your story right here is who taught you about business um you know my uncle was he made a lot of money even in the Soviet Union and I seen that and I believed that the money was out there I just had a knack for it you know what I'm saying I just couldn't wait to to get a product into the marketplace you know what I'm saying I was I had a itch for it you know what I'm saying I can't wait to get a product into the marketplace and then I learned and then Warren Buffett was when it all clicked in that's when I realized I made all the mistakes that I made because I'm seeing what he's saying and I'm like damn you know I should have just trusted my instincts the market was there everything was there so you know there's simple rules to follow in business and if you follow them you know you're just guaranteed success essentially give me that give me one of those Simple Rules there was one um metaphor that Warren Buffett and his and his partner Charlie merer used you know Warren Buffett he's got 105 billion dollar he's one of the top three top five richest people in America you know buying businesses whatever and um um you know he tells a story he's like yo this guy comes in with a horse it's a beautiful horse he comes to the vet and he's like y this horse is amazing it rides well it's an amazing horse I just got one problem once in a while it turns around and bites me and the vet goes the next time it stops biting you sell it you're not fixing that horse don't waste your time you know what I'm saying if you have a problem person that's doing having a problem or this and that forget it move on don't waste your time get rid of them go on to the people that work and that everything is smooth even you're running an operation over here everyone's a pro no one's wasting time no one's bullshitting around you know what I'm saying I'm impressed with everybody here I'm I'm analyzing the operation right and you you figure that out or whoever you're doing businesses or whatever it is but if someone's wasting your time that's something I was like a therapist oh this person give him a chance oh come on correct this Behavior why are you falling why is this falling through the cracks [ __ ] all that if someone doesn't know how to get their [ __ ] together goodbye right away just that thaty keep it moving keep it moving with the right people the right team because one lesson I learned and and it was like an extraordinary lesson the situation I was in that when I realized I'm like what am I doing with these [ __ ] people yeah you know what I'm saying I had a letter coming from American Express I was behind I was in dead I was all [ __ ] up letter comes in and says hey you know you sell a lot of a volume on credit cards we'll give you $700,000 some employee of mine saw that letter crumpled it up threw it in the trash said [ __ ] $700,000 [ __ ] Max I want my paycheck on Friday I'm out of here another employee walked past the trash saw the letter in there took it out got me the loan for $700,000 that's why I'm sitting here today with you so think about the two different people I had in my life one took me and put me in the garbage and one took me out of the garbage and put me on top so what's the point of having people that are going to put you in the garbage around you that's my fault you know what I'm saying get rid of them get them out of the game get them out of there put them out with the people that want to [ __ ] around you know what I'm saying um drop it this that and that's it you got to and and when you look in the face of it that rule seems so simple why would you want to throw a ball to somebody who's not going to [ __ ] catch it and then go in the locker room and tell them yo bro you got to do this you got [ __ ] all that if they're not going to catch it get the [ __ ] up out of here bro I'm throwing it to that guy who's who's consistent don't waste your time you're not fixing them you're not doing none of that especially in business that was just one of them you know I would hate oh I would love to see the rest of those damn things let me tell you something Max bro that [ __ ] was so plain cuz there's so many times in life we hold on to what could be right rather than the be is happening every single day except the facts except what it is how many times until you just say you know what cool yeah you know of three you know three strikes bro I mean you know what I'm saying you give person a second chance or whatever it is and you give them another chance but if they're not cutting it now they're cut wasting your time you're looking at them you might have pity and you might have a warm heart but they're going to take advantage of that and you don't even know you're thinking you're giving the person a chance but in the back of their mind they're saying oh okay he he's letting me slide I'mma [ __ ] him over again yeah and when you realize that that's when you get angry to kick him out you know what I'm saying get him the [ __ ] out get out so let's get let's get into the clientele right which one or which client gave you the opportunity to be who you are today I mean Buster rymes was um uh you know my best client and my favorite client you know that was just recently um uh but I made him a m massive chain he hit me up this Cuban Link yeah that's you yeah that's me everybody in the world knows about that Cuban link that monster Cuban Link he hit me up and um uh you know off of uh something weird that happened um he's been watching me for a while and then you know I showed a chain and I said how much it is and then he had a jeweler and then he saw the price that I said and then his Jeweler just so happened to send him that same chain and tell him a completely different price and he's looking at that and he's like yo why the [ __ ] am I [ __ ] with that guy when this guy's even saying this public so he hit me up and we hit it off right away and you know I stopped by and he stopped by and we were chilling and we were going to the club and we were doing all sorts of crazy [ __ ] uh shout out to Buster ryes and he was we were on the phone for you know we just had it was we just clicked and I had to come through for him and I did and this was how long ago this was a months ago really I mean I don't even remember at this point but early on in your career I'm I'm I'm dating back like the 18 year old right I did he did something with me but I you know I dropped the ball on that and he never spoke to me again because these guys you was the person that got kicked yeah well these guys you know what I'm saying with people at the top they follow that rule like they don't even give you a half a second chance you know what I'm saying they're like if you don't please me Justice or on this and that done out you know what I'm saying any big celebrity any big person if you [ __ ] up that first one then you know they're not going to do nothing but I was a kid I fumbled it he was doing some business he did some for a sweet 16 and the product wasn't what it was supposed to be because I was relying on other [ __ ] idiots and I didn't trust my instincts I looked at the product I'm like yo I don't think I should really give this to him but then you know I closed my eyes and you know uh I said you know what let me just go for it no there's no going for it then I lost the client and I could have opportunity to [ __ ] do something crazy but I was in 1920 and [ __ ] and then there was other opportunities there along the way but I was already on the back foot at that point yeah I'll say this and I'll share this with with obviously the viewer uh miles Monroe has this quote that says God doesn't bless you with the things that you pray for God blesses you with the thing that you can manage yes so you think anybody you could change you could be a athlete you could be a real estate agent you could be a whatever entrepreneur right you're not you're not blessed by what you ask for you're blessed by what you can manage in in some cases you know I don't want to uh uh speak on the on the on the operation but as for my personal point of view God blessed me with absolutely everything in every way but I didn't take it off the table you know what I'm saying and so whose fault is that explain that taking off the again I mean you know it was all there I had the instincts I had the know how yeah and you know if I maintained faith and focused on that on that you know I see in hindsight like I said everything was on the table there was nothing else you know um uh God's not going to make you a cheese sandwich if you have already bread and cheese you're on your own you know what I'm saying you can't ask for anything else you know there's people out there being born um you know with arm without arms and legs there's people on the front line of a war they're the ones who should be asking for things yeah you know what I'm saying how am I going to ask CU I was born smart and my parents I had two parents in my in my home they brought me to America you know I had the intellect to run to do business I timed I was timed to the market perfectly the market was there I just had to keep my head down that's it I mean what else can I ask for you know what I'm saying so to my point of view the blessing was there and it was up to me to make the most of it as I as I saw fit and the mistakes I made were you know with doubt and with this and with that and I had to learn from that I'm not going to make that mistake again perfect so before we get into the game list off some people that you worked with in the past well we just popped off with with DJ diesel Shaquille O'Neal Antonio Brown was a lot of fun AB um you know we had a bunch of other people uh cardi B cardi all right a lot of athletes um I'm I'm not a pro with the athletes and their names unfortunately you know I'm a slacker on that end Mickey you know what other the names Gary Trent Gary Trent in the NBA Mr Beast the Fantastic client He's Still rocking with us uh Prime Logan Paul and KSI and that whole crew yeah so a couple of cool people essentially so you do good business yes you know you have to uh when you have a client you got two options you could uh milk him for as much as possible right then and there or you could make less money and then keep them and hope they come back around and come back around that's those are your two options how you handle that or find the balance of whatever it is right now I'm building a brand I'm not interested in milking somebody for as much money as possible some people will take that route but I want to build a brand that after I'm dead is still selling jewelry you know like cardier who started cardier who started Rolex who started otmar They're All Dead Generations ago but because they built the company the right way they the company out lives them so that's a big deal when you're starting the brand and I just want to build a brand that's going to outlive me at this point so you mentioned somebody about you know AB yeah a good friend of mine yeah right you know something that we've seen in news in the he sold a Richard Mill a fake Richard Mill sure right how does this even happen right he probably bought it and someone [ __ ] him over probably you know what I'm saying some Jeweler you know he's a trusting guy you know I'll tell you about AB you know like the hospitality is a really nice guy mhm he's uh you know a pro athlete uh Super Bowl touchdowns whatever it is and he's paying me money and let me market his name name and his brand so he's buying something right he's just paying for materials so it's a really really good deal he's not milking me he's not greedy he's letting me rock in his house and put his um image out there where you know uh it could cost half a million dollars to do what he did for me correct but he's paying me so so whatever got caught up or whatever watch or whatever [ __ ] them over so on and so forth I don't really know how all that happened I can't really speak on that yeah but probably someone sold it to him and then he didn't want to take the loss and maybe you know he forwarded it off to someone else and someone was complaining and so on and so forth but this the pro athlete that let me rock in an amazing way and you know because I did that's probably why I'm sitting here to begin with yeah but even then it it's so I'm always asked why I don't wear jewelry jury meaning diamonds right right now you see the rings that you analyzed uh uh one is goldplated brass yeah that's what it looks like right but it's Gucci though what does that mean I mean that's just a name nothing it's just a name it's the reason that you gave him money that's Gucci just like tracks NYC it's the reason like you want to build a brand that's sustainable right that people feel secure in let me just give you a comment on that right Gucci establishes a name then you believe in that name and then they could sell you some junk and say you know and that's when they make their money you know what I'm saying that's really unfortunate you know even Tiffany and Co they got the stores for the tourists where they're selling silver that where the cost value is 50 bucks or something like that and they're selling at 800 or whatever cuz people want the name and people want to be a part of it they want to say Gucci Tiffany this and that but that's the business side of it me I don't give a [ __ ] what the brand is I want to look at the materials and how it's done and that's just my style you know what I'm saying I have a very business Minds I don't buy into anything and none of that means a damn thing to me how are you able to identify a fake um well materials you know speaks for itself and some things can be you know I'd have to take it to a pro you know the the hardest thing is gemstones I had a Alexandria about this big $20 million you know I was working with these dealers that have crazy gemstones you know they're working with the mines they're polishing it now how the [ __ ] do I know it's $20 million mhm right because the people I'm doing business with I I know that they're not going to play around or else it's their head they're not going to play around with me but do I no no um no I don't it's it's a gemstone it's a rock that's this big that's $20 million but when you hear things like I certified or like whatever certificates that you may necessarily get I I don't know if a lot of people know I read this a couple years ago where Drew Brees and his wife right uh got screwed over by a bad deal in the jury industry yes and nobody is susceptible from being played right you know when people think about especially in football when you think about Drew Brees as a standup guy you got to have a good um Drew Brees I don't know who he is to be honest but um you got to have a good Hall of Fame quarterback New Orleans oh my bad I thought he was a jeweler for a second no no no he got played he got played he got well you trusted the wrong people bro he bought into the hype or something something something they put on a dog and pony show yeah and you know he bought into this or EV bought into that and sometimes these people get played and they get a sour taste in their mouth because they're choosing the wrong people to do business with that's it that right there yeah before we get into the game how do you choose right the fake the phony fraud how do I choose like what like give me Max's mentality in any Ty when I'm [ __ ] around with the Diamond District you know what I'm saying when I'm walking around give me the cost price you know what I'm saying give me the information to carow and this and that as soon as somebody starts telling me a story or telling me a song and dance n this this like right now I mean you know I'm glad you brought it up somebody sold me black diamond earrings or black diamonds because I'm going to turn them into earrings for um more per carat I'm even going to say it was 300 uh or 400 a carat and black diamonds are cheaper okay and I'm used to paying 150 per carat I [ __ ] call this guy up I'm like yo bro why are you billing me because my staff is going in there to pick up these stones or whatever it is why are you billing me 400 he's like oh ours are double coded ours are this I'm like you [ __ ] playing games with me bro telling me a story about this about that are you sure you're not just taking advantage of my employees that are coming in there ordering things and you're thinking let me make a couple extra hundred bucks because if you are it's your [ __ ] head you know what I'm saying so for me I mean any story or any of that [ __ ] that's really what it is [ __ ] all that what is the price let me double check the price with a couple of different people that I'll know mhm you know what I'm saying all right you're buying a mansion this Mansion is $50 million how the [ __ ] are you going to know it's $50 million but let me see the other ones oh this one's 45 but that one looks a little bit better so that would explain it but then if you see a mansion for $20 million that looks just as good then you're realizing maybe something's not on the up and up right you know so you have it's up to you to decide someone gives your price you double check you pick who you like to do business with and you do business you could do business based on price or you could do business based on product you know on how you like the the business person that's giving you service and so on and so forth but yeah everyone is out to get you period you know what I'm saying they're out to get you or yeah you want to you know what I'm saying you're your MVP or you got this much or yeah you got paid that much in that contract me too I'm going to you know what I'm saying tap in bro you know what I'm saying I want in on that yeah that you know that when you're in my business and you're dealing with that you're realizing there's not as much love in this world as you think you know what I'm saying they're waiting for an opportunity or they want to Claw at you and they want to get you for some money or they want to do this they want to do that you know I'll say it like this so you be perspective Cam Newton or this and that [ __ ] all that I just want to make more money that's it and you know you can show you could take the mask off and you could say I'm going to do whatever I can to do this and to do that and to do this and people will never do that they'll sit here and they'll smile yeah wow here there but in the back of their mind you know they're chasing dollars bro so when someone comes around like your boy and um they see him they're a Target Richard Ms you could sit here if I [ __ ] this guy over some of these these guys that people that go to business with these I don't want to mention their names because I don't want to kick anybody down a flight of steps right now but they're sitting there they're like oh yeah you want a $400,000 watch well I could take a risk is this guy ever going to check his [ __ ] maybe I'll [ __ ] give him a $50,000 watch for $400,000 and I'll make $350 and boom I'll flip that 350 and I know I'm good if he comes back around or there's a 30% chance he double checks there's people walking around like that like that right now so that is a very big game and some of the people in The Diamond District the way they took advantage of so many people and got away with it it's [ __ ] crazy bro and and the people still line up to do business with them because they don't know what the [ __ ] they're doing you know say let me ask you this I like your energy thank you but I'm about to ask you something that may ruffle your feathers you're not going to ruffle my feathers bro you sure yep have you ever [ __ ] somebody over have I ever [ __ ] somebody over um maybe a diamond dealer that I paid slower but he made millions of dollars on me this one jerk a client a client no but why though but why cuz cuz you're speaking about something that like yo like you got a lot of insight and I'm receiving that and obviously the viewer will reive I'm going to tell you story before I answer that question hit me one time you know Jay-Z wore black diamonds to um the VMAs one time years ago and it turned into a black diamond craze everybody wanted black diamonds it's funny because we me just mentioned black diamonds black diamonds are cheap mhm but there's an opportunity Jay-Z Ward nobody knows how you don't know how much a [ __ ] black diamond is bro you you know it's it's up in the air that's an opportunity for me to make money but guess what this guy comes in he was a vet came in in uniform from Afghanistan just got you know finished up right and I look at this guy and a black diamond chain at that time cost me around 2200 bucks mhm and I see this guy I'm like yo I'm in the Diamond District I'm doing business making money this guy's in the front lines let me be a little bit of a patriot he's asking for this black diamond chain mhm let me give give it to him for 2400 which is really you know 200 above my cost but with expenses I'm losing money mhm he looks at me and he's like 2400 this [ __ ] is fake my boy just paid $8,000 you're trying to sell me fake [ __ ] hold up 2200 and he said somebody just paid 8,000 yeah so my [ __ ] must be fake so because his boy got ripped God got he's thinking my [ __ ] is fake you see how backwards the world is so if he walked in and I looked at him as a [ __ ] Target and I told him 10, uh200 and he knocked me down to $7,900 You're still making a profit and I would have made six grand he would have been happy but because I honored him he was unhappy you understand and that's when I realized I'm a [ __ ] idiot you know what I'm saying I'm not a sales guy that's why I got sales guy let them make the profit margin don't get greedy with the customer let's build a brand let's do something for real and that's it and that's how I handle on my own selling I I I felt sorry for the [ __ ] am I doing feeling sorry for a guy in Afghanistan [ __ ] him you know what I'm saying you know put 6,000 on top quadruple your money keep it moving and if I did that he would have been happy but that's the crazy part you know what I'm saying and I hope he remembers me so hope you're watching right now bro salute but this is this is the thing this is the thing to your point this is my biggest issue with humans as a whole yeah the culture right right would say a Birkin bag a Richard all this all that the going right the going rate for an average Richard meal is what the cheapest Richard meal that you can get Factory what Factory I mean they go down for the cheaper older models 130 130 we were talking about 130 ,000 not $130 correct $131 130,000 so as far as let's go to purses because the Richard is for the maale right or let's say Rolex like a day date a date just or a sky dweller is the average price for that is you could go I mean the date justs are you know 10,000 around 10,000 so that's two examples that I want to use for the males now for the females a Birkin bag are you familiar yes how much does a Birkin bag cost I think they go for 50 or or some around there 50,000 or 50 50,000 everything is in Thousand on the top thank you so much so $50,000 bag right what's more important having a Coach purse that has $50,000 in the bag or a Birkin bag that is worth $50,000 but only have $50 in right it's even better [ __ ] the coach bag with 50,000 buy 50,000 in Apple stock and just chill out for a couple of years and you know what I'm saying but you'll never see your money it's up in the air somewhere in apple but it'll come back to you 150 but now it comes back what are you going to do buy a Birkin bag again I mean it's a game money is a game you could have it now you could have more later you could tighten your belt you know what I'm saying or or or whatever it is if you want to have that image that look you might want to get that Birkin B because that's going to get you the look that you want but those the people that are supposed to be buying Birkin bags for $50,000 are the ones that have money to burn period that's who it's for right you have $50 million you already have uh you know a $10 million property paid off three cars in the garage and now you you know you want to get your shorty your bag sure but you want to look like that guy you know or the girl wants to look like that girl then she wants to spend everything on that and that's where the game begins but people got to make their own choices people in my culture in my background they will eat rice and water and that's it forget about Birkin bag and they will eat it and they will roll that money roll that money roll that money roll that money and sometimes they'll die and then their kids or will will get the the the burking back the proceeds of yeah the you know what I'm saying because they already get used to it some people that are so hungry you know what I'm saying they're like I lived 30 years of my life without it now what am I going to do with it maybe they'll buy themselves something nice maybe they won't but they're already trained their mind to be so conservative with the money that by the time it's time to enjoy it or you have it already doesn't even matter the the the habits set in yeah I like that let's get into the game man here we go tracks let's put your knowledge of gems to the test and we're going to play the pric is Right M with tracks NYC okay all right I will show you an image of some very famous jewry guess the retail price if you are close you get a point okay if you don't you don't I look like an idiot say less everything is on the table right now to let the people know if you know what the you talking about you ready yep first up we got Beyonce she's wearing a 400 karat Lorraine shorts necklace what's the retail price of this 400 karat monster Stones um 100 million 100 million yes I'd say something around that number around there what do you got 12 million 12 million well you know that's the retail on that talk to me like that's uh that's a that's a steal that's a deal I mean the retail on on something from a designer MH is crazy figures for those massive stones but my but my question is do you think Beyonce has this in her um let's say her closet right um they usually work out a deal to have them wear that or they could pay them everybody has their own individual deal MH you know um but usually van CLE and something like that those things can be but those those are massive massive diamonds 400 yeah amongst other things yeah alrighty moving right along we got quo emerald cut diamond grill right so that could be you know let's say 40 Grand what do we have 250,000 well that's a ripoff 250,000 I mean that Grill IS 250 but that necklace is 12 I mean that's that's ridiculous if anybody's watching wants a grill like that for 40 Grand I got you all right I'mma have to charge you for uh ad shares right there yeah so that one is that yeah here we go uh Li yotti multicolor grill that would be 20 grand 35,000 yeah so that's 35 and how the [ __ ] is that 250 it's the emerald cut bro come yeah the emerald cut all right come on uh Drake for 42 engagement ring necklace that was supposed to be around 15 million right okay but that could be lab that could be natural it's hard to tell uh it says 12.5 million right 12.5 so can I get a point for that that's definitely a point you got a point I'll give you a point for that one little yach okay that's two so and I want a point for quos emerald cut Grill I mean 250 for a [ __ ] Grill but come on bro that's the that's your example you said somebody would prefer you somebody the the mentality is somebody would prefer to spin more and get ripped off more I want to see the receip Bro whatever all right keep it moving let's let's roll all right bro this was a moment but yeah so this Uzi birs 11 karat pink diamond that was encrusted on his skull That was supposed to be around 20 million around there 24 million 24 million yeah and how long did that last um uh how long did that last someone took it out of his forehead and when he jumped into the crowd that's what he said but uh but they don't care about that [ __ ] like trying to get an insurance claim on that that was also could be lab bro you know what I'm saying well you mean lab what that mean the diamonds are grown in a lab nowadays a lot of Pinks a lot of big Stones they come out vs so you know a diamond forms in the ground because it's so hot and there's so much pressure but now in in the Years 2023 you could recreate those conditions in a lab pop out with a diamond and again a lot of people got God out there bro you know what I'm saying you're selling something to to Uzi for $24 million supposed how much did it really cost yeah you know what I'm saying do you want to make uh you know $23.5 million right now or not off of one sale [ __ ] little Uzi right you know what saying that's what say push him off the side of a a building you know what I'm saying that's some people think but people don't believe believe that but that's on them you want to get ripped you want to get robbed that's on you bro you know but I know he didn't pay no $24 million on that he's good he's Gucci let me see the certificate little luy prove me wrong it was it was it was big news I remember I remember 24 mil 24 mil on my forehead uh-huh last but not least you got that right by the way Slick Rick gold chain set right Slick Rick you and Slick Rick kind of got like the same little thing going on yeah yeah yeah well that's you know he put his money in the right places on that end so that look let's say it's 150 quarter m a quarter mil 250,000 I'll give you that one too okay so out of six you got five right right but remember Beyonce's necklace is $12 million it makes a lot more sense for that to be $12 million than it does for little uzi's one stone to be 24 million talk about all right no no no no no no no keep keep me there yeah but the winner here's the prize since I lost a point there's a winner in here you know what I'm saying so if you could guess the price of this chain you get to keep it that chain that chain right there can I feel it yes you want me to put it on you or no this is not my stees not your stees $3,000 oh come on bro how you going to hit me with 3,000 for this bro 3,000 because first off this look like it's heavy yeah it's a white gold 14 karat how about I give you $6 and the take the chain back bro you get what I'm saying the chain is was about 50 Grand this chain is yeah this chain is about 50 Grand bro it's a diamond Cuban what Hold Up This Is 50 Grand let me show you let me show you Cam give me this for a second if I took this and put this on my teeth like this uhhuh then you'd say it's 50 Grand no well you know little yachties you know his grill cost 40 or 50 or or whatever he correct correct correct so I could make how many grills out of this chain uh four yeah four or five so you know what I'm saying that's the way you could kind of measure it out as far as materials is concerned yeah but this is my gift to you maybe give it to uh some of your friends or whatever it is if it's not your Ste no I'm defin I I don't give a gift away bro all right whatever it is you you know what but this is about 50 50 Grand thank you bro yeah my pleasure ah thank you for for having me man my friends give good gifts you want me to lock it for you or you got [Laughter] it I of respect I'mma keep it on for the rest of this dog on show hold on do I got it it ain't fake is it no my brother come on bro don't do but but talk to me this is where I want to call who's got it and who's don't right right right how many of your clientes out of 100% of your clientele right so that number could be discretionary MH how many of them really have the capital to pay or is it payment plans right no they um about 50% should be buying jewelry maybe the other 50% % they could have been better off without splurging I'll be honest okay you know what I'm saying but 50 Grand 50% of them um uh you know some of them are business owners you know when you buy a plain Jane watch you keep the value when you're buying gold chains doesn't matter if you spent millions of dollars on gold you could cash that in at any time gold is not a luxury product gold is a just a transfer of value you know what I'm saying if you're buying acres of land it's not because you CU you splurged on acres of land you still have the value in the Acres you just transferred your dollars into a different type of value so you have to learn how to play the value game period whoever's watching this if you don't know how to play the value game and how to move your money around you're going to be subservient to people who do give you an example free game right bought to you by Boogie himself right what is this a cup of water and if I take this cup of water right and I go into the airport with this same cup of water right be the same price um yeah water should be free and uh available to everybody but if I go buy some water right it'll be different value okay if I take this same cup of water to the Sahara Desert let's say and and go into my kitchen to get it how much would this water be free free right if I take this same glass of water or the amount of water and I try to go to a football game right it'll be you know different dollars 10 bucks of [ __ ] moral of the story find a value in a place yeah and and here's the other moral of the story if you take this cup of water to someone who's dying of thirst they'll give you everything for it even their life right yeah they'll give you everything or whatever it is so you know and one other thing I tell people right you know what I'm saying like a Warren Buffett he is about 93 years old is worth $105 billion and young people watching this how much of that $105 billion would he spend to buy more years of his life buy 10 years of your life probably a lot of it right so think about that you have a value of billions of dollars of life just don't waste your time you know what I'm saying it's the value in it that's what it is if you put things in perspective you're going to keep it moving and you're going to be successful but if you're not then I love it there's so much that I want to talk to you about bro I appreciate that man matter of fact before we it's only right though right talk to me about Mr Beast bro yeah how did that even happen it's two really two things right you I mean I forgot to mention not only are you a businessman or entrepreneur you're an actor too you we've seen you Grace the movie screens and the uh uncut gems with Adam Sandler and then obviously that with uh Mr Beast right talk me through the movie First the movie you know they needed a jeweler to play the scene with Adam Sandler which they couldn't find the person that actually looked like a jeweler was that your was that your uh shot um there was a scene in my shop as well but they shoted on a sound stage in Long Island so you know I was there with Kevin Garnett um on on stage with him for a couple of days and Adam Sandler and that was a amazing amazing experience I mean this guy was really really nice particularly on set amazing guy real humble dude and they found me I knocked it out of the park I knew it was important for my business so I knocked that out and um um I rocked with that you know Mr Beast Mr Beast they his team needed some gold and um you know any interaction business interaction I have I make the most that opportunity they needed some gold I make sure I make this the transaction as smooth as possible it's a positive and uh interaction on their end then they come back for something else I do this I do extras I do here just like over here you know what I'm saying I come in here with some [ __ ] ass $33,000 chain you know what I'm saying bro I'm I'm doing business I got correct bro this [ __ ] tracks bro I ain't [ __ ] coming the damn [ __ ] foot around yeah I'm not I'm not playing around in here bro so let me so so before we get out of here right what's the most money you made it in a year uh a couple million bucks no we're not doing that we're not doing that we got to Keep It Funky here for the people cuz I I want to make content that empowers and impacts people to not use their system to cry it's using their system to be empowered to grow right so I mean I made a couple of million bucks so you know I put it into more inventory and [ __ ] like that because I'm trying to grow my money and keep it moving I'm keeping my head down when I was a kid I [ __ ] up I um made a couple of dollars I bought a sports car I did this I did that and that cost me um $50 million in the end right so I should have um never moved out of my house I should have never bought a sports car I should have never even went to [ __ ] dinner I should have did the the the real deal which is hard to do Rice and water and keep your money in the game until you can spend it and not feel it okay that's really the thing you to do and it's hard because what are you living for but you got to find that balance and you don't know where that balance is be disciplined with the money keep your money moving and rolling right you want to spend 10% of your wealth you don't want to spend it all on something that you have or whatever it is and the Richer you are the more you could spend on jewelry to begin with you got to accumulate wealth properly so there's a there's a a book you know on to to your point so there's a point get get this point across it's called um the richest man in Babylon right and um people come to this guy and they're like how do it get you get so so rich right in Babylon they're working on the walls of Babylon they're stacking bricks they're like yo I can't take it anymore how much more of this [ __ ] [ __ ] are we going to do when are we going to be rich Let's go to the richest guy in Babylon what does he tell them he tells them money you earn 70% of it is yours to keep forever you got to understand that you get paid $100,000 you take $77,000 and you roll it into value you buy a property you buy this you buy that you or you buy gold then you melt it down you buy the property it never leaves you it just accumulates forever and ever and ever the money the value never leaves you if you're handing off your value to someone else you have to recognize your fault you know everybody but there's different societies American society is not a saving Society it's spend credit card enjoy live now live today and that's good you get to live life go over to China they're going to sit here and take every capital and buy an apartment and then they're going to buy another apartment they're going to rent that out they're going to wear rags and they're going to do this and do that and then their kids are going to enjoy it's a game just put it in your perspective figure out which one you want to do and accept the consequences you know what I'm saying you're going to live a great life and die with nothing or you're going to die with everything and live a completely shitty life or you can find a balance somewhere in the middle Max but make that conscious decision on what the [ __ ] you're doing Max how much money have you made I make about 2 million bucks a year in my business right about now in case you know the boys are watching the alphabet boys or whatever they're not okay good you never know but yeah that's what I'd like to you know what I'm saying that's that's my profit and that's a great money because over the course of 10
