You can have 5000 of anything that starts with Y. What do you choose?

Possessing and re-selling 5,000 yachts sounds like way too much work to me. And you'd be holding on to so much liability in the meantime. Give me 5,000 Toyota Yaris(es). I think I could wholesale them for a fraction of the effort. At $5k each that would be a cool $25 mil.

Or Yukon Denalis, sell them to middle class moms for like 15k they would buy them (you could probably do like 20-30k honestly and still sell them all super fast). More of a market than yachts and less liability while you have them.

The thing that everyone’s ignoring with this question though is where are all of these yachts, Yarises, and Yukons being stored? You’re gonna need a big yard for that

There are thousands upon thousands of massive parking lots that sit empty for most of a year. You could rent those lots of very cheap

Yeah the Denali is a lot more easy to manage than 5000 yachts! Couldn’t give them away fast enough
