Channel 4 look at ‘get rich quick schemes’

Money, money, money…

‘How I Made a Million in 90 Days’ tells the incredible story of how Oobah Butler did just that.

Tim Hancock, Channel 4 Commissioning Editor:

“Oobah bridges the divide between YouTube-ready stunts and long-form documentary making; resulting in highly unique, intelligent, funny, and frequently mindboggling results.”

Setting himself the challenge to follow in the ways of the many ‘business gurus’ who claim to be able to give you the secrets to wealth, Oobah’s journey is a ride filled with unbelievable highs and crushing lows.

Fully immersing himself in the world of investment and startups Oobah meets a range of colourful and questionable characters who offer real insight into how value is created, as he tries to figure out how much of the entrepreneurial dream he is being sold is legitimate and how much of it is a bluster of hot-air and delusional self-belief.

And despite his overwhelming desire to rise to this challenge, Oobah will also discover at what point his conscience screams “enough!”…

It is one of two documentaries for Channel 4 alongside ‘How to Trick Your Way onto the Property Ladder’, Oobah masterminds a range of stunts and tricks designed to get two young first time buyers onto the increasingly elusive first rung of the property ladder.

Oobah Butler:

“I’m really excited to have the chance to do two new films with Channel 4. Me and my team have spent just over a year working on them, and they are very different. The first one follows me trying to make a million pounds in 90 days, is shot predominantly in the US, and involves a lot of chaos, fascinating characters, hard lessons learned, and money.”
