The guy has made SERIOUS money from some of his investments and the deals he has brokered...and he knows what he is doing.

All that video last week was is basically a highly converting, well thought out landing page intended to go viral and get him for facebook/twitter/life followers.
He made 99% of his money out of pure ass - nothing to do with any type of shrewd investment. Anyone could have done the same if they were in the right place at the right time as he was

Check out the comments on youtube - three quarters are negative and the rest are extremely racist. If the idea ( and I seriously doubt it was - seems more like an ego show ) was to create a viral video that would attract fb/twit followers then
