Podcaster Funny Marco is opening up about the first $10,000 he made from social media and how he blew through the money at Atlanta’s most popular strip club.
Funny Marco, real name Marco Summers, has made a living from his satirical online content that often goes viral. Between his pranks, comedic sketches, and celebrity interviews, Marco has amassed over 5.1M followers on Instagram, 2.3M on TikTok, 1.11M on YouTube, and 17.6K on Twitch.
In November, Marco appeared on 360 With Speedyampforwp-incontent-custom-banner ampforwp-incontent-ad1">
“When you first made that first check, did it inspire you in a way? Or did it make you feel some sort of acknowledgment, like, ‘Okay, I am on the right path. I am doing what needs to be done,’” Speedy asked.
“I went crazy,” Marco said after admitting he spent the money at Atlanta’s Magic City.
“Out of the ten, how crazy?” Speedy asked.
“Listen, I went so crazy, I went back to [the manager] and said — ’cause he gave me $6,000,” Marco explained. “I went so crazy,
I went back to say, ‘Where the other [money] went?’ He said, ‘I took my percentage.’ I said, ‘Hold on, brother! I didn’t know about the percentage part.’ So I went that crazy where I didn’t really learn the business about the percentages and him doing the deal for me and everything. So I was learning as I go.”Marco will likely make better choices with his money after signing with M88 management in September, according to Deadline.
“Marco is a one-of-a-kind trailblazer, forging his own unique path that undeniably shapes the future of emerging talent,” M88’s Head of Emerging and Interactive Media Stephanie Piza said. “We are thrilled to welcome Marco to our roster and support him in evolving his business into a comprehensive 360-degree enterprise.”
