These (Extremely Unusual) Businesses Were A Shocking Success

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]Business inspirations can come from anywhere. Some companies were born from a childhood experience or a conversation in a pub. Others sought to solve a need. Their common thread is that they all found financial success with unbelievable products.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”7. Lunar Registry

Just like on Earth, the value of real estate depends on where you live. For instance, the Sea of Tranquility lists an acre as costing $37.50. While, an acre in the Sea of Vapors goes only for $18.95. According to their site, the money goes to “finance entrepreneur-based exploration of the moon.” Lunar Registry acknowledges they are not connected to the United Nations or any government. That might be an issue in the future.
