No. You're watching them build it. That's not what influencers do.

They build these for customers.

With a 700K subscriber instagram following. They are raking in 25-50K for every single sponsored post they put out there. Safe to say they are influencers as well.

Sure, but it's an influencer career that's ancillary to their main career of refitting these vans. Or at least I'm assuming they didn't start their business solely so they could launch an influencer career off of it.

But, kinda safe to say that these two are far off from ‘upper middle class’. They are likely multi-millionaires if their business is in any way healthy. You could be retiring at 45 on the instagram cashflow alone.

Okay, and? Sounds like they made a successful living for themselves and you're jealous of it.

I’m not jealous at all. They earned it and good on them.

I’m just correcting the perspective that these are middle class folks doing this. Nah, they filthy rich. But that doesn’t make the van less awesome.

The only thing being talked about across this thread is how this couple is "generationally wealthy" and only have the time to do this because of such wealth.

The reality is that this guy is doing literal blue collar work to sell off later and using social media to promote it.
