Grant Cardone and his ’10x Growth Conference’ rake in cash with the cheapest tickets (for 2025) listed at $1K and the Diamond Front Row tickets costing $20,000 which to some people out there is evidently worth it.

Chasing that ’10x’ lifestyle of Grant Cardone involves dreaming 10x bigger than what you think you’re capable of achieving and then taking actions that are ten times more drastic than what you believe you need to do in order to achieve those goals.

For one person, that meant taking out two loans and sleeping in his car in order to get to Grant Cardone’s conference in Las Vegas but it sort of worked out for him because instead of getting booed or laughed at for taking out loans to be there and sleeping in his car the audience all took money out of their pockets and handed him cash.

Is this white collar panhandling? Not exactly. He didn’t ask for handouts. He just asked Grant Cardone what he needed to do in order to level up and then people started handing him money while he stood there with the microphone. He tried to talk but Grant shut him down with ‘don’t talk through the close’ which is hilarious to think this was a ‘close’ and not a cult-like moment of people just trying to flex they had money to give away in front of their fellow investors.

Anyway, let’s see what people on X had to say about this clip:

“My main source of income is going to financial conferences and asking for $500”

“Wholesome cult behavior”

“It’s not stupid if it works lmfaooo bro did get paid”

“Not very finance of him!”

“so if I tell people i slept in my car for 2 nights they’ll hand me money?”

“Never seen somebody panhandle at a Finance Conference before. New side hustle unlocked 🔓”

“Audience plant business is booming.”

I’m shocked that it took this long before someone suggested he was an audience plant because, while I’m not at all saying he is/was, that’s where my mind immediately went when I first saw this clip on X.

Anyway, if anyone’s looking to make easy money apparently all you need to do is go to a Grant Cardone conference and tell everyone you took out a loan to be there and they’ll shower you with cash. Just don’t make the mistake of talking while it’s happening.

Meanwhile, Grant Cardone says any man making under $400K should be ashamed of themselves. So there’s that.
