'liquor' isn't a hobby. And if these people did actually have interesting hobbies that they were passionate about then I would respect that. This is just putting your name on a brand to sell a product. The egregious thing here is pretending that you are passionate about it.
Also I would love to be rich, I'm gonna pretend I ain't jealous
Maynard James Keenan is passionate about his music and vineyard. Both Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were passionate enough to start their own soccer club. You're the vapid one here that can't differentiate between selling out and investing in ones hobby. Instead you lump them all together whilst pretending to be superior.
There are 3 types.
All of them sort of make sense, but the market is very tight.
(1). It’s just a business. They invest some seed money, and get some of the profits back.
Normies don’t understand how much money is in profits, even doctors are just wagies compared to getting to keep everything under net.
In this case, they are just using thier name to get brand push.
(2) wine snobs who are larping as Roman lords. They get to live in a wiineyard, while having the enjoyment of working towards a shippable product, they still hire Mexicans to do all the real work, but it is something to pass the time, and they can pretend they are the value adders.
(3) truely made people,
rememebr that scene in the Darjeeling limited where the Mom goes >“what is that hideous pot?” And they go >“Alice makes them”
And the mom immediately switches tone
“oh it’s lovely”
“Do you want one?”
“Of course I do”
It”s like that.
They also already have family or connections who are executives at Walmart or target who can get thier product on the shelf.
So they all just trade favors with each other.
Or like when Bill gates had his famous meeting at Microsoft to sell his software he hadn’t made yet, and his mom just happened to be an executive at IBM that helped him get the meeting
>Or like when Bill gates had his famous meeting at Microsoft to sell his software he hadn’t made yet, and his mom just happened to be an executive at IBM that helped him get the meeting
Sorry, that should read “when bill gates had his famous meeting at IBM”
Bill gates grandfather was a maxwell.
This grandfather was also a fed central banker. specifically at the Seattle branch of the San Francisco Fed.
Image your granddad is a fricking Maxwell and Hollywood tries to sell your life story as a hard workers become rich story.
Bill gates was also given 300 million dollars, which ment he could fail as long as he needed till he succeeded. >what are you saying about gates.
That the game was rigged before you were born.
I know Bill Gates lol, he is not even close to being a boogeyman, kek.... I want to talk to him about this, but neither of us would gain from the chat as he is well aware
He owns more farmland than anyone else in the country and he is inexplicably working with the World Health Organization to develop vaccines and the UN to develop Africa.
They can make more money selling a liquor brand to a large company than they can make acting. All started with Clooney selling casamigos for a billion. Ryan Reynolds isn't buying sports team off his acting money so much as the 610 million he made off selling aviator gin. They only even own the companies for a get years. That said a vineyard is probably more of a money pit and hobby/passion project ans they're not as profitable and actually require a certain type of agricultural endeavor and expertise.
you are now aware that Maynard James Keenan started a wine operation
Upper class California has been wanting to be old world Europe for at least a century. Anywhere that actually has water has had at least one grape tree planting attempted.
He was the first high profile Hollywood figure to really dive into that world, but he stills owns the brand and winery. Again that's more about the lifestyle than the product. Clooney wasn't out on the palenque cutting agave for the Mezcal ever, if he even visited one. Kendall Jenner, all these folks like the rock or the outlander bros, have no expertise in producing spirits; they're investors and marketers. Essentially the difference between working/managing/owning a vineyard or making up a brand name and label and posting it on Instagram. (Some wine is bullshit, though, like the 14 crimes Snoop. That's just marketing. On the other hand, one of the Sprouse twins is actually an accomplished maker of mead, a honey based alcoholic drink.)
>Why do celebrities always try to start their own liquor company?
Because israelites give them money to put their names on things because name recognition can be converted directly into brand recognition. Its not their company, they're a glorified mascot.
Usually they get asked to slap their name on some existing wine or liquor and in return they get a cut of the profits for doing literally nothing. Easy money
Only Ryan Reynolds and the rock actually were involved with the production of their liquor from what I remember
Ryan Reynolds simply invested, the comoany was already established: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/natalierobehmed/2018/02/21/ryan-reynolds-buys-stake-in-aviation-gin-cashes-in-on-celebrity-liquor-rush/amp/
That's about the disparity between labor and profit for each product. Alcohol is a relatively passive process, so it's easy money -- relatively. Even haute couture dining struggles to be profitable because food prep is extremely labor intensive. Imagine how much time an individual spends cooking just for themselves, and consider what it requires to turn it into a business. Throw in whatever panache you use to sell your food, and there's no space for profit. That's why women spent their married lives cooking and cleaning all day.
I work in a warehouse and can tell you that most of those people are stupid. Even if there is enough space to get through they will do it because in their mind they must always use the quickest way from point A to B. This is mostly done because they have some kind of production quota to meet and rather than spend less time goofing off they will do shit like this rather than wasting time backing up and driving around.
high margin swill
alcohol is cheap as frick to make
most times celebs get a percentage as a stake
its the taxes and legislative bullshit surrounding it that keeps people out of it
if you go to parts of apalachia or mississippi and see old churches, libraries and school houses from the 1930s and 1940s, most of those were funded from local moonshiners
$1300 is insane but at least the bottle looks nice. Fallout Rum was just a completely pathetic showing. Artificial color 70 proof rum that should cost $8 in a plastic bottle for $90, perfect representation of Bethesda as a company now.
Apparently the glass and plastic didn't form a proper seal either, so if you tried to pour you'd spill half your shitty rum into the plastic bottle instead of your glass.

I'll never forget the utter, utter, utter bullshit they spun that out as. Literally implying there's no way they could have gotten a custom bottle made and no one "just does that" despite limited run gimmicky glass bottles specifically being a thing for many decades in the liquor industry. That's not even getting into the rum itself apparently being the lowest tier worse than college kid kraken rotgut. Charging like $100 for it. Fricking Bethesda.
>Artificial color 70 proof rum that should cost $8 in a plastic bottle for $90
Is that better or worse than the Metallica whiskey
>described as "a blend of sourced, hand-selected american bourbon and ryes" meaning it's a mix of whiskeys they got from who knows where, probably leftovers from actual distilleries >each batch of whiskey is blasted with its very own Metallica playlist (the song list of your batch is included in your purchase)
tbh it only costs about 50 bucks but then again it's not a premium "limited" edition like fallout's
This is why if I'm going to pay $50 for a meme bottle it better be autism backed by Dan Arykroyd. And the bottle can be reused as a paperweight or for arts and crafts.
Zenimax made a lot of real recipes for ESO, they should consider making stuff from every province to sell. >Jagga from Valenwood made from real fermented milk >Ancient Dagoth Brandy >some Argonian shit made from real fermented bugs >some kind of Elsewyr absinthe that will give you diabetes in one sip
Celebrities? Like half the motherfrickers over 40 in my office do some kind of brewing or distilling in their free time. I'm sure any of them had the money and the public image of a celebrity, they'd start their own company too. Half the reason is probably just that cleaning and maintaining the equipment yourself fricking sucks.
Passive income and a way to work without having to do actual work like a blue collar jackoff. The smart ones makes b movies and cash in on investments or properties.
because George Clooney made a billion with this liquor brand so now they all want that money. These greedy fricks just can't have enough millions. oh btw the way clooney built his brand was by lying
Because the great apes were able to digest fermenting fruit as a survival ability
Then we realised we enjoyed the highs it produced so we began to distill it and finesse it
This stuff is cheap as hell and goes down so fricking easy it's ridiculous. Thank god I don't like the feeling of being shitfaced because if I did I'd kill my liver drinking it.
Tax write-offs and breaks on the land. I know a guy who has a "fish farm" that consists of one pond with about 20 carp in it. He doesn't sell the carp, but gets $15K a year in tax breaks.
>I know a guy who has a "fish farm" that consists of one pond with about 20 carp in it. He doesn't sell the carp, but gets $15K a year in tax breaks.
Tell me more.
It's also tacky because these celebrities further crowd up the markets and steal monies from ma and pa's that truly need the support, but lol nah let's give another 75 bucks to Kurt Russel so he can add it to his Uncle Scrooge swimming pool of gold and israeliteels and loads of thousand dollar bills.
Vapid, tasteless people with no discernible talent, interests or skills with lots of money to spare.
Are celebs not allowed to have hobbies beyond acting?
>OH NO A CELEB IS DOING HOBBY STUFF I AM GOING INSAAAAAAANNE

>'liquor' isn't a hobby
having a vineyard is
having a vineyard for these pedo freaks means 'i pay some guy to run it and sometimes i take a photo of myself touching grapes'
my country has many family run vineyards why the frick would i ever want some script reader homosexuals wine?
Wow look at this Cinemaphile guy with hobbies bros. Totally hobby and shit bro.

No one wants billionaires to rule over us.

you don't know these people. you don't fricking know any of these people. you're a vapid c**t. you are.
Right outta the park first post as usual.
diversifying your portfolio is a good thing, and if you have name recognition then it can be as easy as slapping your name on a product

didn't it start with Coppola starting a winery?
Upper class California has been wanting to be old world Europe for at least a century. Anywhere that actually has water has had at least one grape tree planting attempted.
the tool winery is in arizona
D2GAY
So the California man learned to evade taxes by going next door. What an amazing feat that completely invalidates my post.
i'm not saying you're wrong but talking shit is more effective when it's accurate

Because if they were to start a regenerative cattle farm instead they would be blacklisted and probably assassinated
I'd build my own castle instead of doing this
Watched a documentary about this place recently. Deeply fascinating stuff, these people are making their dreams manifest.
All liquor is sold on looks and memes alone. Celebrities have powerful looks and memes at their disposal.
I don't know but I am drinking Crystal Head vodka right now.
>not sunny d vodka
why would you do this?
>4pk
>$10
Tax write offs, money laundering shemes
Why not do something cool like start a video game company? That one baseball player made Kingdoms of Amalur when he retired.
Making that game unretired him
Kurt Schilling, he and the company went bust because he was a moron when it came to managing money.
The whole thing basically scammed the state out of a ton of money. They're still fighting over it last I checked.
Vin Diesel made a vidya company
I want to try Cranston's tequila.
Op, see
This is why. He wants to try purely off marketing.
Clooney made 1 billion$, he was giving away suitcases full of 1$million to his friends for the frick of it
The average return is $300 million net profit per celebrity. Alcoholtards will buy ANYTHING in a pretty package at a 1000000% markup.
People will literally always pay for alcohol. It's as old as civilisation itself.
Okay, but the supply already meets depend.
>assets are always good
>liquor is easy to sell on name and brand alone
>land acquisition as well
>Why do celebrities always try to start their own liquor company?
Because israelites give them money to put their names on things because name recognition can be converted directly into brand recognition. Its not their company, they're a glorified mascot.
He look like Freddy Kruger's gay cousin Kurtis

No way did he sign that

Made more from wine than movies
alcohol has always been present and used in every society
so is eating but the restaurant industry isnt that profitable
That's about the disparity between labor and profit for each product. Alcohol is a relatively passive process, so it's easy money -- relatively. Even haute couture dining struggles to be profitable because food prep is extremely labor intensive.

Lol
They did a signing at my work last year and they were actually a delight and seemed to have fun.
>you're signing when all of a sudden...
>video

who is going to clean this up
Unironically demolition contractors. We had one of our racks collapse once.
are they also doing it for free?
Hell no. And we do pay the cleaning contractor to pay the illegals that clean bathrooms.

huge profit margins
good stuff is precious
you'll understand it when you drop the cheap one
liquor is recession proof
Big margins b, some would say the biggest
It's all margetting and thats what beast celebs do best
Because then everyone would be buying their name even more. Just another way for them to vent their narcissism.
