As it was a joke let me tell you about similar thing in England 20 years ago.
A 30 year old kitchen salesman was in the pub with a friend who then bet him £1 he couldn't start an online company selling white goods. (Fridges, washing machines that sort of thing)
In other words it was just the usual pub pisstake between friends.
Anyway AO, as it's now called, does £100 million turnover a month (£1.2 billion a year) and is valued at £500 million with over 3000 employees.
He had zero interest in washing machines and fridges or even starting a business. If his friend hadn't made the joke and just got another pint, he would have just staggered home and gone to work the next day without even thinking about it.
Food for thought.
