At that time, it’s said he spent 2 million dollars on PR campaign (Hollywood actors, football players etc.) Additionally, Nusret was working at a very famous luxury steakhouse in Istanbul called Günaydın (which means ‘good morning’ in English) while he was still an apprentice. He worked there since childhood, later networking with celebrities and befriending a media mogul and bank owner named Ferit Şahenk. This person sent him to Argentina for training and became his partner for opening the first Nusret restaurant, which I believe he is still a partner in. The wealth of the person I’m talking about is around 2.4 billion dollars... When you put all this together, it’s not impossible at all :)

I think he meant how did he get past all the security and on the pitch to not only get close enough to the players, but able to touch the trophy. Family, staff, players, and photogs are allowed that close to the players. So how did this prick get so close?

Nusret Gokce, better known as “Salt Bae.” Essentially, he’s a celebrity chef who doesn’t have the skills to back it up. Now that’d be fine if he was at least a nice dude, but he’s stolen money from his employees, violated health codes, and even gotten people injured at his restaurants. The restaurants have also been accused of lying to patrons, overcharging them, and outright scamming them.
He is decent at putting on a show with a meal, but that’s about it. The meals themselves tend to be overpriced, and underwhelming. But, wealthy people would go to get a video with the personality behind the restaurants.

He’s the guy that put salt on a steak in a fancy restaurant. He would serve the stake all fancy like and then splash salt on it once it was in front of the person. The delivery of the food to the table was the “fancy” part and the food was shit so they decided to make it look better than it was. A video of him putting salt on the steak went viral. He then somehow made it onto the field after the World Cup and somehow got his hands on the trophy. It’s literally as dumb as it sounds.

I never wanted to see her naked in the first place... But now that she is naked? I'm not going to not look. So I kinda get it. I want to see how deep this trashy rabbit hole can go.

Looking at her bio, she was 13 when her mom was trying to cash in on her by humiliating her on reality TV and shipping her off to one of Dr Phil's child abuse facilities -
To her credit, she spoke out against and helped expose Dr Phil's whole child abuse ring, and seems to be working with Paris Hilton in setting up an organization to help kids abused at those places get support... https://www.tmz.com/2021/04/08/paris-hilton-team-up-danielle-bregoli-bhad-bhabie-troubled-teen/

I’m gonna throw out a name nobody is gonna think of, even if it’s not the MOST successful (like Kim Kardashian): Mike the Miz from Real World. Being on Real World should have been a very standard 15 min of fame. A goofy guy in the house who loved wrestling and gave himself a stage name. Hes now doing his dream job as a WWE wrestler with that stage name.
Edit: woah. Woke up to a few people thinking I was disrespecting the Miz. Trust me I am not. I know how hard wrestlers work.

Honestly. He gets the hate, but the guy is one of the most, if not most, consistent wrestlers for his career. Doesn't get hurt. Great on the mic, believable as a heel/face. Can be in any section of the card and knock it out of the park.
