An American student has sold part of his future income on eBay, hoping "investors" will help him cover tuition.
Buy stocks, bonds or speculators in Steen? That is the question that 19-year-old student Ron Steen hopes investors will think about.
Steen sold himself on eBay, with a commitment of 2% of his total income for the rest of his life going to the auction winner. The minimum bid price is US $ 100,000, enough for Steen to pay off his study costs.
Source: Fortune " I'm a bargain, a very smart guy ," Steen has advertised so on himself on eBay. He hopes he will earn more than $ 125,000 annually from now until age 65, the time when the winner's investment on eBay is considered "paid off."
However, not everyone is convinced and believes in this strange piece of life. Steen will have to earn an average of more than $ 1.5 million a year to realize the scenario. For its part, eBay closed Steen's auction topic after 5 days because it violated its policy.
In addition, people also encountered many typos inside the ad about him.
Currently, Steen's father is still helping his son to pay tuition at Fullerton University, California, but he is still full of optimism that someday he will meet an "blue-eyed" investor.
