Tom De Bruin you’re 100% correct - assuming you’re ignorantly only considering projected revenue as a means of valuing a business. When factoring in the necessary reinvestments to solve the scalability and logistical issues, 40% is very fair.
@@goodkisser8591 Although I mostly agree with you. They could have also offered her a loan or royalty fee instead of taking ownership of 40% of her company which is in my opinion a big hit considering future growth. Also she undervalued her company in the first place so 80k for 40% seems like very little money for a company with that potential and which had already proven it legitamicy in estimated revenue.
- The "home" business has 82k debt and no business premises - Has only 3 months proven turnover in what *may* prove to be a seasonal business - Is run by a 20 year old with no track record. - The only thing backing her valuation is that it has 200k assets (dresses). So the offer isn't that bad in my opinion, combining their added value, assumed continued investment and access to capital, along with the experience makes 40% of a larger business - a pretty reasonable offer, albeit slightly pricy. The sharks got another 5-10% because of her inexperience, but everyone's still a winner.
apatheticAnxiety I mean a lot of men own suits though, because its socially acceptable to use the same suits which matches the few dress codes men are given to formal occasions. Ive rented a suit only once and that was because the correct dress code was a specific suit (which is used by doctorates in Finland, and in some other occasions). Other than that 2 suits and a few accessories can 100% cut it. The market is so much larger when aimed at women.
It depends on how leveraged she already was, the connections and doors that these other ladies can bring, their expertise and industrial clout, which too has an immense intrinsic value when the time comes to bring in a VC and go much larger and much faster.
Such a random amount to request, thats the most annoying aspect. 80k doesn't get you anything at this stage except a new batch of dresses. She should have asked for 200k and up for 30 to 40%

The publicity that entrepreneurs receive from being on the show can be amazingly profitable. Some don't even go on the show to obtain money from the sharks. They go on the show just to get their products showcased.

@@AshtrayAnnie That's not really the case here though, is it? Most people will never see her face but the storefront. Her passion and drive is what makes her successful.
So let me get this straight: The company has revenue of 35k with a net profit of ~15k PER MONTH (~180k/yr > > $900,000 valuation) They offered 80k for 40% > > 40% of $900k is $360k They made her this offer knowing 'they would need to loan/put more money into the business' > > Them getting more equity or earning annuities on the indebtedness of the company to them... She could have continued to grow this on her own & been a multi-millionaire by 30 Instead, she went to the shark tank & gave away nearly half of her company at a $200k valuation, which is pennies on the dollar as she would have netted an equivalent profit less than 6 months & already had an inventory of dresses valued at $200k. Feakin' criminal...
After watching the very unpleasant and rude dragons on Dragons Den, it’s refreshing to come back to a group of genuinely likable and supportive sharks here. None of these sharks go in trying to start a fight with or humiliate the entrepreneurs the way the dragons do.

She was prettier than the models... And she makes 35k a month. And she's young. She can create a youtube page and make that 80k in no time and fire the sharks...
She could easily have already paid the loan off over the first 3 months with 105k made. Yes shes down 40% but she's just gotten herself great publicity and people that will give her connections and make it easier to run on a larger scale.
Did some research into what happened after the shark tank deal. Since then her business has grown by almost 100% and she’s made 8 million in renting dresses.
I can't believe this. The girl is so smart, yet so naive at the same time. Only a lunatic would take such an awful deal. She was clearly manipulated into accepting such an awful deal. The company generated insane profits consistently. The company would have literally made more profits in a year than the valuation of the company in the deal she made with the sharks. Even the original deal she proposed was ripping herself off. The sharks saw this and realised she had no idea what she was doing in terms of valuation and absolutely ripped her off. It always hurts when I see this happening. People always talk about illegal scams, but no one ever talks about the more common legal type of scamming where others exploit your lack of knowledge to get you to make a completely unfair deal.
This young woman is going places. Once she gets older and polishes her business skills, she’ll be a multi-millionaire ten times over. Great presentation 👌🏻
Humble, sweet, smart, personable, professional, intelligent, entrepreneurial, she's gonna go extremely far. Inspiring to see people my own age doing amazing things like this.
Obviously they did, but then again it isn't just about the money, but also the connection they can provide, as well as the legitimacy of the business as she is also being backed by someone who is invested in her business.
@@quahmingjun7246 bruh sell me ur company 40% when you have one coz i can get u some sweet deals with all my connections even if it means you lose half ur profits
Nah Kevin would have offered 40% for the 80k and some other sharks would counter offer Kevin, not team up with the other sharks for the same equity. Remember for spongebob scrubby daddy Lori kept countering all the offers Daemon & Kevin were making with higher offers than them.
learn it man all the words you hear are business terms for something simple. equity literally means money from the business owner. If i put 20k equity in my business it means that I've put 20k of my own money into the business as opposed to the businesses money which is money earned by the business. If i take 20k equity from the business it means I have taken money from the profit of the business instead of reinvesting it. Simple!
She did such a bad deal! They played her and they knew that if they grow the business theyd make a lot of money. Thats why they wanted the 40%. Its not that hard to rent a warehouse and hire a few ppl to do shipping and have an onsite drycleaning. If shes making 35k a month she can get a loan for the 80k over 5 yrs at 5% interest from the bank....its still cheaper for her than giving up equity
True they do have a certain type of connection, but at her point she doesnt really need them. Again she is 20/21 yrs old and probably has no experience in logistics, shipping, management etc. But all im saying to give up 40% is a lot and the sharks got greedy. 20% was more fair for the amount of money. In business when you are trying to decide if you should take debt vs giving up equity, you have to see what is cheaper for you. In this case where all she wanted was 80k debt would have been way cheaper because of her margins and income and because she probably can get the loan very easily and at a low interest from the bank. 40% for the sharks means she would have to give up 40% of her net profit. Which would mean it costs more yearly to pay the sharks their share with an 80k buy in
@@robwolf88 I thought they would guide her that you came to the wrong place, go to bank and get a loan but they are there to take advantage. Now she will do all the hard work and two lady sharks will take profit 40% bite.
It feels like because of her age, she was taken advantage of. Her business is much more valuable then she let on and let them value it at. I’m sure her business has grown, but sheesh, what happened to royalties and loans. That’s 40% forever 😌
The implication they made is that she will need a commercial building, dry cleaning, etc etc and that is going to run $300k+, and they are on board with investing that. So it does make sense. Regardless, 40% is a freaking massive stake in the company. I don't like it.
“Such an original idea”... sir Rent the Runway has been around and well publicized since 2009 😂 I even remember when it was advertised on Gossip Girl lol
The fact that she was able to secure an $82,000 loan and acquire nearly $200,000 worth of dresses before she came on the show means that she must have a LOT of financial support from her parents. I can guarantee that there is absolutely no way she would have gotten that loan or that stock without her parents helping her out with a lot of money. Very lucky girl.
@K B i think the man is trying to say she also lucky besides all the innovation and hardwork she's putting in. And that would be true in grand scheme of people who wanna innovate their own product/service in teenage years its only possible if you have kind of rich parents, those who Don't have that either just give up on the dream or they hustle away years to save up money.
@K B Well i'd agree with that too.I have been around some VC friends, the quote "self made" is used only for the one's who had literally odds stacked against them in their journey. People who have had support from friends/family but act they "self made" have really hard time people working with them.
@K B and i don't know weather the drunken man is trying to pent up his stress on yt or just saying his opinion. But this is kind of opinion is not limited to the "poorer" people in the world, on bias of this i can also say people like you are intolerable to any kind of critique someone offers, so i want to say don't generalise
When you set up business obviously one needs lots of support.. I also felt she has advantages from her parents side and nothing wrong in that.. She invested it in her professional growth, didnt exploit it.. When she said she is collaberating with famous designers i felt must be rich or renowned parents..
Unless if they have the connections and resources and willing to put in the work and share their valuable skills and experience then it’s a win win. If they are just putting in the money but want a huge ownership of the company then that’s a bad deal.
Honestly I think she got a decent deal as she needed to scale up quickly after advertising how profitable she was. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to scale up and grow especially with the publicity but I think she really opened herself up to competition if she didn't grow fast enough after that.

40% is nonsense. 80k isn’t worth it. This young woman can get a warehouse and not deal with being ripped off. Considering she made around 100k in 3 months. 40% is a bad deal.
This is stupid - she took out an 82k loan some how at 20 years old, within 3 months, she does 106K. She then decides to give up 40% her company for 80k and professional experience, even though she just received national attention and will probably grow regardless. Like I get that she might run into an inventory issue, storing issue and probably wants to go to college as well but these are things she could've have figured out along the way. Hell, where's a good ol royalty deal when you need one lol
They just flat out lied.. IF they are going to have to pu more money in later, PUT MORE MONEY IN NOW! The extra 10% was based on a vague oh we will have to put more money in.. well how? She already makes money and installing a dry cleaning process is not that expensive, even if if were the business would get credit.. pisses me off so much.. they basically stole 10% based on a lie
Totally true...based on her monthly revenues she's undervalued her business, that's like a market multiplier of 1.0 and yes, 40% is so rude!! I wish those entrepreneurs consult with investment professionals before they get infront of such greedy sharks!
She won't be making money for long if she doesn't have the logistics and marketing to take the business to the next level. And as was smartly pointed out, as her business grows and margins shrink she'll need experienced people ensuring she can scale. Offering 40% of the business with a "sweat equity" incentive (which at 20 she should have no problem with) to partner with successful business women who know marketing and logistics adds value and longevity even if it means taking some short-term profit out of her pockets.
@@roshi98 , if I may offer an idea to help her stand out...she could do something that Rent-A-Swag does not do, which is also cater to men. Think about it for a while, how many men, as well as boys, are stuck wearing a tuxedo, or a suit, as well as wingtip, or other, formal shoes for a prom/formal/wedding/bar/bat mitzvah/job interview? Let us be honest, most men are in the same boat about those sorts of things as women are with formal dresses, ballgowns, and heels, but it does not need to be that way. What if she could expand her clientele in those regards? Also, she could expand it even further by getting into cosplay, Halloween costume, and historical reenactment costume rental because those things often only happen once a year as well. Granted, I am literally half a world away from you in the USA, but do not the ideas for rental also could help her company stand out from the rest of these sorts of services?
She wasn't ripped off. You never go into it expecting to sell at the % offered and she has the opportunity of getting some of those shares back depending on the success of the business so she has every chance of getting down to them owning the 30% she offered.
Terrible deal. They bought almost half of her company for less than half of one year's revenue. For that, she should have just hired consultants and gotten another bank loan. She would have had no issues getting a loan for that amount.
They have driven the company in the right direction that she wouldn’t have been able to do by herself. She now owns over 64% of the business and has made 8 million dollars.
@@declanmckenzie229 I don't get how people don't get that. They think sharks are buying actions, when in reality they are also adding their experience to grow the business.
I'm curious as to how this business is doing, one year later, then five years later & so on. I think she is amazing. She began this in her head two years earlier. WOW what a beginning.
40% is a rip of for the business, but you can tell she is going to be a success,. The amount she can quickly learn from this partnership will kick her into another dimension.
It seems like a smart move. She took the men's formal wear model and said "now girls can rent too". I have had to rent about 8 tuxes over the years for weddings and such. I wish the girls had let us buy affordable nice suits that we could reuse instead of renting for the same price and basically throwing that money away.
SHE GETS 15K+ profits ! Why did she even need that 80k , she could easily get that in couple months herself and maybe some friends and family ...... 40% for 80k is ridiculous
What you're all missing is that this business is still trading time for currency. Scaling it is going to require a lot of overhead and upfront investment. It's going to require management and logistics. If it suddenly explodes in popularity and doesn't have a backbone, it will collapse under the weight of it's own success.
She's valued her business way less than her predicted turnover in the next 12 months. She should've come in at a 600k valuation, then she wouldve got atleast a 250k valuation probably more
Mohammed Yakub a good time to remember that projected turnover is not how you value a business when factoring in costly scalability and logistical issues
And then she will get yelled at like every entrepreneur that comes in looking for a valuation of a company a year from now and not today. Why do people like you do that.
@@jackiecheng4161 I didn't say to value your business what it would be worth in a year you idiot. Do you know what turnover is? You clearly don't. I said to value your business atleast your predicted turnover in the next 12 months. That means if they are predicted to make 500k in sales in the next 12 months their valuation should be at least 500k. A lot of people have come in with a valuation of 3 or 4 times their predicted annual turnover and have come out with a valuation more than double their predicted annual turnover. Her business was massively undervalued. I am a 15 year old who doesn't know much about business but obviously knows much more than you do so please dont criticize my statement when you are uncapable to understand it. Thank you
@@goodkisser8591 yes but her profit margin was pretty good and also if she had come in with more, even if she doesn't think her business is worth more, but only a little bit more so it cant be labelled a ridiculous valuation. Then she would have certainly got a much better deal. She could've even negotiated a bit more when they asked for 40% like if they get their money back would they be able to reduce their equity?
Your right, current T/O 35 x 12 = 420 X 55% = 231 profit so value is less than 2x profit although other expenses do need to be allowed for, rent and her wages. If she does increase T/O she should be able to negotiate a significant discount on dress purchases. So demonstrable profits of say 150 and valuing that at 4 or even 5 times gives a value of 600 to 750. Not a bad call for a 15yr old but its the profit thats important not T/O. Theres an old saying turnover is vanity profit is sanity.
Exactly. No doubt with the drive and passion she already has she would have been more successful regardless. But with the Dragon’s help they essentially jump start their business. It’s like hr business on steroids. Lol.

@@madcena01same
40% is such a ripoff. Really insulting offer imo
Tom De Bruin you’re 100% correct - assuming you’re ignorantly only considering projected revenue as a means of valuing a business. When factoring in the necessary reinvestments to solve the scalability and logistical issues, 40% is very fair.
@@goodkisser8591 that's still not worth almost half of her business, that's insane, she undervalued her company in the first place
@@goodkisser8591 Although I mostly agree with you. They could have also offered her a loan or royalty fee instead of taking ownership of 40% of her company which is in my opinion a big hit considering future growth. Also she undervalued her company in the first place so 80k for 40% seems like very little money for a company with that potential and which had already proven it legitamicy in estimated revenue.
@@goodkisser8591 They capitalized on her lack of experience, she got played like a fiddle
- The "home" business has 82k debt and no business premises
- Has only 3 months proven turnover in what *may* prove to be a seasonal business
- Is run by a 20 year old with no track record.
- The only thing backing her valuation is that it has 200k assets (dresses).
So the offer isn't that bad in my opinion, combining their added value, assumed continued investment and access to capital, along with the experience makes 40% of a larger business - a pretty reasonable offer, albeit slightly pricy. The sharks got another 5-10% because of her inexperience, but everyone's still a winner.
It's not just her business, SHE is impressive, well spoken, well presented, and intelligent. Great person.
She needs to rent suits out too. She would make twice the profit if she was inclusive of her brand to men
Guys would destroy the suits
apatheticAnxiety I mean a lot of men own suits though, because its socially acceptable to use the same suits which matches the few dress codes men are given to formal occasions.
Ive rented a suit only once and that was because the correct dress code was a specific suit (which is used by doctorates in Finland, and in some other occasions). Other than that 2 suits and a few accessories can 100% cut it.
The market is so much larger when aimed at women.
@@apatheticAnxiety awesome, then they pay full price for the suit.
A suit is easier to take care of than a dress right
How do you figure that? Guys don't rent suits in the same quantity that women rent dresses. I don't even wear a suit to work and I own two.
This is basically "Rent-a-swag" for women

Such a random amount to request, thats the most annoying aspect. 80k doesn't get you anything at this stage except a new batch of dresses. She should have asked for 200k and up for 30 to 40%

@@alekseydrotenko3289 or she possibly just wanted the shark's experience. The problem is that almost all investors will never waste their time being hands on with the business unless they have millions at stake. Their time is too valuable and they can do as much smooth talk to make it seem like they'll be there to guide her through like a mentor but usually that's not the case. They prey on young talent to make them money
The publicity that entrepreneurs receive from being on the show can be amazingly profitable. Some don't even go on the show to obtain money from the sharks. They go on the show just to get their products showcased.
@@mohammadzafar7891 with a 20% stake they have the potential to make a mill per year easy.

@@AshtrayAnnie That's not really the case here though, is it? Most people will never see her face but the storefront. Her passion and drive is what makes her successful.
So let me get this straight:
The company has revenue of 35k with a net profit of ~15k PER MONTH (~180k/yr > > $900,000 valuation)
They offered 80k for 40% > > 40% of $900k is $360k
They made her this offer knowing 'they would need to loan/put more money into the business' > > Them getting more equity or earning annuities on the indebtedness of the company to them...
She could have continued to grow this on her own & been a multi-millionaire by 30
Instead, she went to the shark tank & gave away nearly half of her company at a $200k valuation, which is pennies on the dollar as she would have netted an equivalent profit less than 6 months & already had an inventory of dresses valued at $200k.

I can't believe this. The girl is so smart, yet so naive at the same time. Only a lunatic would take such an awful deal. She was clearly manipulated into accepting such an awful deal. The company generated insane profits consistently. The company would have literally made more profits in a year than the valuation of the company in the deal she made with the sharks. Even the original deal she proposed was ripping herself off. The sharks saw this and realised she had no idea what she was doing in terms of valuation and absolutely ripped her off. It always hurts when I see this happening. People always talk about illegal scams, but no one ever talks about the more common legal type of scamming where others exploit your lack of knowledge to get you to make a completely unfair deal.

All this equity, percents, investing, financing, etc, hurts my head. I've always wanted my own business, but I just don't understand this stuff.
learn it man all the words you hear are business terms for something simple. equity literally means money from the business owner. If i put 20k equity in my business it means that I've put 20k of my own money into the business as opposed to the businesses money which is money earned by the business. If i take 20k equity from the business it means I have taken money from the profit of the business instead of reinvesting it. Simple!
She did such a bad deal! They played her and they knew that if they grow the business theyd make a lot of money. Thats why they wanted the 40%. Its not that hard to rent a warehouse and hire a few ppl to do shipping and have an onsite drycleaning. If shes making 35k a month she can get a loan for the 80k over 5 yrs at 5% interest from the bank....its still cheaper for her than giving up equity
Robin Helou it’s about the connection that the sharks have, the banks don’t
Connections. They can grow it in a faster rate
They robbed her in daylight!
True they do have a certain type of connection, but at her point she doesnt really need them. Again she is 20/21 yrs old and probably has no experience in logistics, shipping, management etc. But all im saying to give up 40% is a lot and the sharks got greedy. 20% was more fair for the amount of money. In business when you are trying to decide if you should take debt vs giving up equity, you have to see what is cheaper for you. In this case where all she wanted was 80k debt would have been way cheaper because of her margins and income and because she probably can get the loan very easily and at a low interest from the bank. 40% for the sharks means she would have to give up 40% of her net profit. Which would mean it costs more yearly to pay the sharks their share with an 80k buy in
@@robwolf88 I thought they would guide her that you came to the wrong place, go to bank and get a loan but they are there to take advantage. Now she will do all the hard work and two lady sharks will take profit 40% bite.

When they said no to 30% for $80k, instead of folding and saying yes to 40% for $80k, counter with 40% for $100k.
Yes, smart
It's the same bud
The implication they made is that she will need a commercial building, dry cleaning, etc etc and that is going to run $300k+, and they are on board with investing that. So it does make sense. Regardless, 40% is a freaking massive stake in the company. I don't like it.

it's amazing seeing her get more confident every second through her pitch.
The fact that she was able to secure an $82,000 loan and acquire nearly $200,000 worth of dresses before she came on the show means that she must have a LOT of financial support from her parents.

ripped off tbh. could have done a deal where she kept 100% of the equity. she's already making so much money and doesn't need any equity holders.
She won't be making money for long if she doesn't have the logistics and marketing to take the business to the next level. And as was smartly pointed out, as her business grows and margins shrink she'll need experienced people ensuring she can scale. Offering 40% of the business with a "sweat equity" incentive (which at 20 she should have no problem with) to partner with successful business women who know marketing and logistics adds value and longevity even if it means taking some short-term profit out of her pockets.

@@roshi98 , if I may offer an idea to help her stand out...she could do something that Rent-A-Swag does not do, which is also cater to men. Think about it for a while, how many men, as well as boys, are stuck wearing a tuxedo, or a suit, as well as wingtip, or other, formal shoes for a prom/formal/wedding/bar/bat mitzvah/job interview? Let us be honest, most men are in the same boat about those sorts of things as women are with formal dresses, ballgowns, and heels, but it does not need to be that way. What if she could expand her clientele in those regards? Also, she could expand it even further by getting into cosplay, Halloween costume, and historical reenactment costume rental because those things often only happen once a year as well. Granted, I am literally half a world away from you in the USA, but do not the ideas for rental also could help her company stand out from the rest of these sorts of services?
She wasn't ripped off. You never go into it expecting to sell at the % offered and she has the opportunity of getting some of those shares back depending on the success of the business so she has every chance of getting down to them owning the 30% she offered.
Also, she can at any time kill them with her smile like she did me. There's a rumour she's renting that out to the CIA for their covert assassinations

I thought the same thing! 😂
Terrible deal. They bought almost half of her company for less than half of one year's revenue. For that, she should have just hired consultants and gotten another bank loan. She would have had no issues getting a loan for that amount.
@Just Glassin 🤷🏻♂️
They have driven the company in the right direction that she wouldn’t have been able to do by herself. She now owns over 64% of the business and has made 8 million dollars.
@@declanmckenzie229 I don't get how people don't get that. They think sharks are buying actions, when in reality they are also adding their experience to grow the business.
consultants are costs.. they're not partners..
That's not the point. Look at how much they can help 10x the business. Vs doing it herself.
Mr. Wonderful : I’m out because I’m in and for those reasons I’m out
I'm curious as to how this business is doing, one year later, then five years later & so on. I think she is amazing. She began this in her head two years earlier. WOW what a beginning.
40% is a rip of for the business, but you can tell she is going to be a success,. The amount she can quickly learn from this partnership will kick her into another dimension.
Definitely worth it. The upside is huge.
Barbara was not a part of the show and for that reason she's out
She didn’t actually need that offer
All she needed was the free publicity from the show and she got it

It seems like a smart move. She took the men's formal wear model and said "now girls can rent too". I have had to rent about 8 tuxes over the years for weddings and such. I wish the girls had let us buy affordable nice suits that we could reuse instead of renting for the same price and basically throwing that money away.
SHE GETS 15K+ profits ! Why did she even need that 80k , she could easily get that in couple months herself and maybe some friends and family ...... 40% for 80k is ridiculous
15k profits is bad. With partners boosting you, you may get 100x the profits even.
What you're all missing is that this business is still trading time for currency. Scaling it is going to require a lot of overhead and upfront investment. It's going to require management and logistics. If it suddenly explodes in popularity and doesn't have a backbone, it will collapse under the weight of it's own success.
Reinvested because fashion is a fast moving industry
@@OldManShoutsAtClouds exactly ✌️
Mr Mr dude she just hit $100 million in sales since taking on sharks.....
She's valued her business way less than her predicted turnover in the next 12 months. She should've come in at a 600k valuation, then she wouldve got atleast a 250k valuation probably more
Mohammed Yakub a good time to remember that projected turnover is not how you value a business when factoring in costly scalability and logistical issues
And then she will get yelled at like every entrepreneur that comes in looking for a valuation of a company a year from now and not today. Why do people like you do that.
@@jackiecheng4161 I didn't say to value your business what it would be worth in a year you idiot. Do you know what turnover is? You clearly don't. I said to value your business atleast your predicted turnover in the next 12 months. That means if they are predicted to make 500k in sales in the next 12 months their valuation should be at least 500k. A lot of people have come in with a valuation of 3 or 4 times their predicted annual turnover and have come out with a valuation more than double their predicted annual turnover. Her business was massively undervalued. I am a 15 year old who doesn't know much about business but obviously knows much more than you do so please dont criticize my statement when you are uncapable to understand it. Thank you
@@goodkisser8591 yes but her profit margin was pretty good and also if she had come in with more, even if she doesn't think her business is worth more, but only a little bit more so it cant be labelled a ridiculous valuation. Then she would have certainly got a much better deal. She could've even negotiated a bit more when they asked for 40% like if they get their money back would they be able to reduce their equity?
Your right, current T/O 35 x 12 = 420 X 55% = 231 profit so value is less than 2x profit although other expenses do need to be allowed for, rent and her wages. If she does increase T/O she should be able to negotiate a significant discount on dress purchases. So demonstrable profits of say 150 and valuing that at 4 or even 5 times gives a value of 600 to 750. Not a bad call for a 15yr old but its the profit thats important not T/O. Theres an old saying turnover is vanity profit is sanity.
The Money is not worth anything compared to the connections and advertisements.
Exactly. No doubt with the drive and passion she already has she would have been more successful regardless. But with the Dragon’s help they essentially jump start their business. It’s like hr business on steroids. Lol.
Your closet now has 8 million usd worth of dresses.
Shes better off alone. These people are ridiculous. Capitalizing on this instead of boosting her means money comes before people on this one.
John of course money comes first in investing lol its not like this is charity
John Buffalo I am 97 how do you disagree on facts? The main goal of investing is interest which is gained over time, or the potential growth of the item/entity you invested in. Essentialmy an invester wants their money back, and more. How do you disagree with that tell me please lol
@@moppitukka3253 There is a threshhold on right and wrong. Asking for too much is wrong. Business or otherwise.
@@JG7Racer since when does business have to do with right or wrong. business means profit.
John that cant be defined. Sense of morality varies. Again, depends on the perspective. For the investor this is ”good” whereas for the entrepreuner it is ”bad”.
I agree that its rip off tho dont get me wrong
This is just ripping off Tom Haverford’s Rent-A-Swag in Parks and Rec.

Best comment
But the fact she has made it and profitted for it is what matters. Its like YSL when he saw Mondrian's paintings.
This is basically rent the runway lol
Nope! She’s ripping off Rent The Runway here in NYC! It has been in business well over 10 yrs!
This is how they become more rich... Anyone in Brielle's position would accept the offer because of the situation. What a shame Sharks
That is why they are known as sharks!!!
