When social media star Daniel Mac spotted a young woman behind the wheel of a light blue Lamborghini Aventador S in one of his signature ‘What do you do for a living?’ street interviews, he had no idea the answer to his famous question would involve trading Pokémon cards. Golf caddy/model Savannah Stein’s story quickly went viral on social media as she revealed the trick that led her to owning a supercar worth over $300,000.
Stein explained that while she works as a golf caddy and receives good tips from the job, her real fortune came from a source you wouldn’t associate with the high-roller life: Pokémon cards. She had recently entered the world of Pokémon card trading and experienced remarkable success in a short period of time. Her biggest success came from a single card that changed her financial situation overnight.
Stein revealed that she opened packs of vintage Pokémon cards and discovered a first-generation Charizard, one of the most sought-after collectibles in the trading card community. The rare find turned out to be worth over $300,000. After selling the valuable card, she used the proceeds to buy a V12 Lamborghini Aventador S with over 720 horsepower.
For Stein, who very candidly attributed her success to plain ol’ dumb luck, the Lamborghini serves as a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change, when it comes to anything collectible, whether it’s cars or cards. The Pokémon trading card market has exploded in recent years, with rare first-edition cards fetching astronomical prices. Stein’s story stands out as particularly remarkable because of the randomness involved in finding such a valuable card in an old pack bought online.
Daniel Mac’s street interview format has become wildly popular on social media, where he approaches drivers of expensive vehicles and asks them about their careers. The encounters often reveal surprising stories about entrepreneurship, investment success, and unconventional paths to wealth. This one story may be one of the most surprising ones yet.
