I don't think it is that simple.
Even if a kid did make $100k in a year, did he really make $100k of profit? Did he factor in the hours he spent waiting in lines? The time spent coding? Or the money spent purchasing bots? Or the money spent shipping shoes to the buyers?
There are many benefits of making "your own" money, by reselling sneakers. You get free time between releases, you are involved in an industry that you are actually interested in, you are your own boss, etc.
But there are also many benefits to "punching numbers" for someone else. I get a 401k, with employer matching contributions. I get healthcare for a lot cheaper than a reseller would have to purchase on his own (since he has no employer to help cover the costs). Getting a steady paycheck each week, instead of waiting for releases to bring in the revenue.
There are pros and cons to both.
That's good money and all but c'mon. Trying to compare a kid in HS making $100k to anyone with a salary in this thread . Even more laughable to everyone pulling in over $100k in salary. The ignorance
