Variety's report on his launch event also contained a quote from Paul in which he admitted to cheating on the online course he used to complete his high school diploma:
Paul dropped out of school after 11th grade, completing his diploma through an online course.
“I just got the answers from a cheat site and put it in and didn’t have to do any work,” recalled Paul, whose career includes a stint on Disney Channel show, “Bizaardvark.” He suspects other reluctant students are doing the same.
Subscribers to the Financial Freedom Movement will pay $19.99 a month for online seminars with Paul and other YouTubers who hope to impart lessons on topics such as brand building and how to take business meetings once that brand building inevitably goes well enough to merit such meetings.
Paul also told Variety what his idea of financial freedom is, which is having enough money to throw big parties and go on two-month vacations.
"At the end of the day," Paul said, "it kind of ties back to if I want to throw a party, why not?”
Why not indeed.
