Unique: Millionaire gives up all his assets to travel poor, looking for food in trash cans

The 30-year-old man is a millionaire with everything in his hands. One day, when he heard his girlfriend share that because many people were wasting food, he decided to give it all up to carry out a suspicious mission.

Rob grew up in a small American town. This place is just grasslands and hills, so since he was young, he has loved exploring nature. Thanks to that passion, when he grew up, he had 3 university degrees in the fields of biology, chemistry and fisheries science.

Like other young people, Rob wishes he could make a lot of money to have a prosperous life. Therefore, he worked hard and worked hard every minute. Every week he worked 80 hours and his only goal at that time was to become a millionaire before the age of 30.

Based on his determination and tireless efforts, Rob eventually opened his own business with a huge source of income. But after becoming a rich millionaire, he did something that surprised everyone.

Accordingly, during a trip Rob discovered that natural resources were being used extremely wastefully by humans. Realizing that, he made a big decision. From a person with a full and abundant life, he sold his house and two cars to buy a normal car and started a "poor travel" trip.

No matter which country he goes to, Rob saves as much as he can to stay alive. Everyone looked at it, no one thought that this guy was a millionaire who had everything.

Along with saving money, he started reducing waste and using chemical products such as shampoo and shower gel in his daily life. On each trip, he only brings a bottle of water, a few sets of clothes and some necessary items.

Those were Rob's first steps in building a sustainable life. In 2015, he published the book "The Man Who Chose Different". This work has received a lot of attention because readers just need to sit at home and can admire the beautiful landscapes of different countries around the world through every step he takes.

Of course, the millionaire's story does not stop there. In 2016, Rob received the attention of many people when he decided to carry out an unbelievable plan: to travel around the world, to 6 continents, 40 countries.

It is worth mentioning that when he left, he did not bring a penny, nor a phone, and only relied on his legs and bicycle for transportation. He lives on the kindness of people he meets on the street. There are times when he is unlucky and has to dig for food in the trash to be able to maintain his daily life.

Rob's entire process was recreated into the movie "Free Ride" broadcast on Discovery Channel. The work then also received the attention of many people because it brought them curiosity and strangeness.

Thanks to that, Rob became famous and earned a lot of money. But he did not keep any money for himself but donated it to charity. It is estimated that the value of his assets at that time was only about 3,500 USD (equivalent to ́89 million VND).

After implementing the plan, he returned home and made a bigger plan: "Not buying anything." He will never go to the store to buy ready-made food, always cook and clean himself and serve his own life.

Rob came up with this idea because his girlfriend saw a lot of food thrown in the trash. This is extremely wasteful. To start the plan, he asked for help from friends to build a house using recycled items such as fences and plywood.

Rob uses methane gas made from waste for cooking and filtered drinking water from rainwater on the roof. He also learned how to grow plants and started growing many vegetables and herbs in the garden, and he even kept bees to get honey. As for food, the boy raises fish in the lake near his house for daily food.

In the end, Rob's plan succeeded. He shared his farming knowledge with many people in the village, helping them grow clean fruit and increasing income for many families.

In the eyes of many people, Rob's minimalist lifestyle is really nothing more than a crazy person. He had money but gave it all up, allowing himself to live a life with almost no entertainment. In 2019, his entire assets were reduced to 111 items, all of which could be carried in a backpack, which was unbelievable.

By doing these things, Rob was invited to be a guest on the world-famous speaking program " TEDx Talk" to talk about his minimalist life.

Until now, Rob is still regularly invited to many different countries to teach. Wherever he goes, he always conveys a message to everyone: "The simpler life is, the easier it is to find happiness."

After the story of the millionaire who gave up everything to live like a beggar spread on social networking platforms, it caused great controversy. Many people thought his decision was crazy, even wanting to check whether his nerves were stable or not.

However, there are also some people who agree with a simple lifestyle and environmental protection like Rob. They believe that as long as there are more people like the guy mentioned above in the world, the atmosphere will become cleaner and rivers and streams will no longer be polluted.
