Investment Green is People!
A recent post on MetaFilter linked to a somewhat amusing news report of about Kjerstin Erickson, the 26 year old founder of a successful non-profit refugee support charity who is opening her life up for investment. That translates into 6 percent of her life’s income for $600,000.
The thread began with a couple of crude jokes (“Only if I get to pick the 6% rimshot (#)”) and silliness (“I could probably bundle together a couple of community college types and sell them off at the same risk level I’d get with one Stanford grad, right? (#)”). r_nebblesworthII brings up a good point: “This already existed for years, it’s called student loans; except they typically take much more of your income.”
Greg Nog takes this idea and runs with it.
BIG SPENDERS IF YOU’RE READING THIS I OFFER YOU A SHARE OF ME FOR ONLY $100,000
Here’s what you get:
Rights to have me follow you around from time to time and when you say something witty I go “Ha ha ha, nice.”
When you ask “Am I losing my hair?” I playfully let my fingers dawdle upon your shoulder and whisper, “Not where it counts.”
I make a mean omelet.
Do you have a dog? I will pet that dog and maybe take it for a walk.
You know that old fence that needs painting in the backyard, well I will say, “Aw forget about that old fence let’s eat some olives” (NOTE: YOU MUST PROVIDE THE OLIVES).
maybe a jumping contest of some sort.
THINK ABOUT IT. MY STOCK EXCHANGE NAME IS GREG
