What does weird wealth mean?

[deepak]

I want to understand the concept of weird wealth, including unusual income streams and unconventional ways people build financial freedom outside traditional jobs.

 

[Maverick Stone]

Weird wealth is generally understood to denote two things:

• Unconventional Prosperity: Crediting unique experiences, creativity and community to the concepts of conventional material success or bank balances.
• WEIRD Wealth: Economic wealth unique to Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic societies, which is sometimes linked to particular psychological characteristics.

Weird wealth is when your friend makes more selling feet pics of Barbie dolls than you do with your engineering degree

Weird wealth refers to a situation where someone suddenly or unexpectedly acquires a large amount of money, assets, or resources, often through unusual means like inheritance, lottery, or windfalls. It can also describe wealth that seems out of proportion to a person’s usual lifestyle or social context.

 

[James Miller]

Weird wealth is generally money that is acquired in an unusual or unexpected or non-traditional manner instead of through regular employment or investment activities. It might encompass incomes in viral content, crypto windfalls, lawsuits, inheritance or online niche businesses and it always seems weird because of the lack of a normal career trajectory or consistent earnings.
