Spend the $5,000 on hookers and blow now, then wait 5 years for hyper-inflation to kick in and sell your used bicycle for $1,000,000.

I'm much better at converting $1,000,000.00 to $5,000.

Start a business and sell it for a million in 5 years.

You could always dump it into a semi-obscure shitcoin that has an unusually high volatility and hope for the best.

I intended to do that with UST or whatever it was and within a week it jumped 7x. What could have been, I guess.

Beyond that, I see a lot of videos where people buy vending machines, place them in white places, and rack up maybe 1k every few weeks.

So I imagine if you b uy a few used, but reputable vending machines, you can probably get anywhere from 5-10 with that money. And if each can generate maybe 1k a week, that's 52k a year x 5-10 = 25k-500k per year.

This is an oversimplification since I am sure there are fees, taxes, upkeep, and other forms of maintenance that need to be done. So while the gross sounds impressive, I imagine the net would be considerably lower.

Start a company. Invest in yourself.

Garage Sales and Ebay. Go all out. Every yard sale, every estate sale, every thrift shop every Goodwill... buy low, sell high. Invest profits in most retarded bitcoin or NFTs.

Probably doing some sort of options trading. Using a few hundred bucks at a time, seeing if I can get a 10x gain. I would probably do some sort of momentum trade, buy calls when it goes up and is on a run, and buying puts when it breaks support and goes on a fall.

There is a Japanese man that turned ~$16,000, dollars not Yen, into $300 million. I think his strategy was momentum options trading.
