The desire to become the richest man on earth
Max Fosh, a YouTube prankster, claimed he became the world's richest person, surpassing tech billionaire Elon Musk
However, there is a catch
The glory lasted for a brief seven minutes after he opened a company called "Unlimited Money Limited"
First steps to riches
In a video shared by Fosh he said how he had set up a company.
But he needed a name for the company, which should end with "Ltd". So, he ironically came up with the venture 'Unlimited Money Ltd'.
Creating a “company”
"If I created and registered a company with 10 billion shares and sold one share for 50 pounds as an investment opportunity, that would legally value my company at 500 billion pounds, technically" - said Max.
He says while declaring, "That would make me the richest man in the world absolutely decimating my nearest rival Elon Musk"
He later got a "certificate" and declared that "Unlimited Money Limited" was "officially" a company
First investor
He is seen wearing a suit and setting up a shop in London's financial district and even finds an "investor" who signs a 50-pound deal completing the "stock transfer"
He then sends the documents to the valuation adviser
Threats from the authorities
Two weeks later the authorities respond to his business venture and the market cap is assessed at "500 billion pounds" making him the "richest man in the world"
However the letter said: "due to lack of revenue activity, there is highly likely that you are now being accused of fraudulent activity"
The letter recommended, "unlimited money limited" should be "dissolved"
The experiment was successful
Fosh did exactly that. But for 7 minutes, the YouTuber claimed to have been the world's richest man. He adds that he will frame the "certificate"
The video has gone viral garnering over 7,60,000 views so far
