In the video, Felipe discusses four real cases of people who went to extreme lengths for money. The first case is about Carisa Barker, who sold her plasma twice a week for extra shopping money. The second case involves Tim Steiner, who sold his back to an art collector for a tattoo, which will be displayed posthumously in a gallery. The third case is a sad story of an Indian woman named Prema, who sold her hair for $2 to feed her son. Lastly, Ian Usher sold his entire life on eBay after a divorce and used the proceeds to complete a list of 100 things he wanted to do within 100 weeks. The video ends with Felipe asking viewers to share their own experiences of earning money in unusual ways.
