PixSorcerer dug deep and spent 18 hours researching
LucaNetz to find out how he bought pudgies for $2.5 million in 23 years!
Here's what I found:
🔅His childhood was not easy. His mother, who was not legally allowed to work in the US after moving from France, did not have a home for them to live in.
Therefore, for 8-9 years they wandered around the houses of friends.
At school, Luca may have worn the image of a skater, but here's the thing: he was also an straight A student and excelled in all subjects.
In fact, he even dropped out of school early to support his mom.
🔅Fun fact: before taking his first job after dropping out of high school, he rapped.
But when he realized that he was not as talented as others, he switched to organizing underground rap shows.
Tired of his show being shut down by the police, he handed out tons of resumes and got a job at a smart doorbell company called Ring.
He left Ring two years later to work for a solar panel company. While working there, he stumbled into the world of e-commerce.
And so began his journey.
His first attempts at e-commerce failed, but he didn't give up.
A few months later, he was successful with his online jewelry store "LA GOLD CARTEL", which was finally up and running.
🔅At the age of 19, he became a millionaire in just one year of dropshipping (organizing the transfer of orders).
He then contacted Supreme Patty and opened a merchandise store for him.
After that, Luca used that momentum to do the same for other celebrities.
🔅Each time, Luka's affairs went on the rise:
1. Succeeded as CMO of Von Dutch;
2. Founded a venture fund that made millions;
3. Invested and acted as CMO of Gel Blaster, which hit the shelves of the largest US retail stores.
🔅WEB2 was fun, but what about WEB3?
— Bought the first cryptocurrency in 2016
- Started collecting NFTs as art, including FEWOCiOUS and Fidenza.
— His first PFP NFTs were: BAYC and Pudgy Penguins.
🔅Fun fact: he almost sold his golden penguin, but, thank God, he made the right choice and kept it for himself.
🔅January 6, 2022 Luca took a bold step: he offered about $2.5M to buy the Pudgy Penguins.
🔅April 3, 2022 he acquired and became CEO of the Pudgy Penguins and wrote himself into NFT history.
🔅Since then, Luca and the team have been working tirelessly:
- Opened up new possibilities for creators to use IP Pudgy through Pudgy Media.
— Expanded the production of toys Pudgy Toys
- Created a powerful brand on social media
Never stop and believe in yourself!
