9. Fake Executive: $1,000 a week
A very original and slightly morally questionable way to make money. There are companies in China who strategically try to fool their competition into believing that they are broadly connected with the western world by hiring every-day-guys from the U.S. (and other countries in Occident) and having them pretend to be company employees. These people get paid to attend conferences and events, and blab about things they really know nothing about, but as said here: “If you’re a white guy in China and you own a suit — Congratulations! You’re hired.”
