He goes from boasters to riches.
A 24-year-old self-proclaimed — or at least self-proclaimed — millionaire is under fire for declaring that every man by 20 should own a luxury sports car because $200,000 is “small change” unless you’re a lazy loser.
“If you’re a guy in his 20s and you don’t have a Lamborghini, you should really sit down and seriously discuss with yourself why you don’t have a Lambo,” Sebastian Ghiorghiu scoffed in the clip. The controversial influencer dropped the bombshell in podcast recordings that were recently reposted on Twitter. where it has amassed 2 million views and incredibly raised eyebrows.
The Detroit native claims to have made $8 million in just six years from diverse ventures ranging from starting a Google advertising agency to YouTube and “dropshipping” — the e-commerce practice of taking customer orders without to have actual inventories.
“Now I realize that it’s so incredibly easy and there’s so much money,” said Ghiorghiu, describing how supposedly easy it was to earn enough to buy a Lamborghini. “People will say I have no connection to reality and they can give a shit.” Twitter
And the young baller, who reportedly had nine cars by the age of 19, thinks anyone can follow suit.
“I now realize that it’s so incredibly easy and there’s so much money,” says Ghiorghiu, who has over 825,000 YouTube subscribers. “[The dollar amount] $200,000 compared to what’s out there and what you can grab, especially now with AI tools you can use like never before, $200,000 is pocket change.”
He added, “And people will say I’m out of touch with reality, and they can suck it.”

The large-scale braggart was subsequently set on fire over his boastful statement on Twitter with the Original video reposter Writing: “I think we need to stop podcasts until we figure out what’s going on.”
“If you’re 25 and don’t have at least 47 Lamborghinis on your Lamborghini account, you seriously need to stop and think.” snorted another.
Meanwhile: “What are you even doing with a Lambo? It’s not a very comfortable car, for example.” a realist intervened.
One Twitter critic explained: “Use AI! Naturally! Why did not I think of this. Everything seems so easy now.”
A naysayer accused accused Ghiorghiu of not having worked “a day in his life”.
The TikTok investor account that curates financial content online, wrote: “Time to ban Tiktok can’t stand Gen Z gurus anymore, lmao.”
The flauntrepreneur has since hit back at haters on Twitter, claims: “This 18-year-old boy I know started direct mail a few months ago.”
“Made 12k at 30% margin today at noon and had to turn off the ads because he needs a credit card and you’re still winging bc. I said you should be able to afford a Lambo in your 20s,” he added. “Grow up.”
