Samwer brothers

Samwer brothers cloned eBay and sold it back in 90 days for $50M

Sam cites the Samwer brothers (Rocket Internet), who cloned eBay in Germany and sold it back to eBay in 90 days for $50 million, as proof that 'silly' constrained money questions can have real answers if you're willing to pay the price.

“So for example, The Samwer brothers, they own Rocket Internet. They cloned eBay but in Germany and sold it back to eBay in 90 days for $50 million. And I think that if someone wanted to say, I'm going to abandon my family, I'm going to abandon my health, I'm going to abandon my friends, and I'm only going to do something for 6 months, I think they'd be shocked at what can happen.”
