This guy is retired? If I understand correctly from the video. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy, being so young, has quite a lot of money and free time to do this. Seems just like a regular guy from my small town in America that has too much money and too much free time.
One day, I hope to be that guy.

Guy like that from small town America aren't usually retired, nor do they have lots of free time or expendable income. I think that there's something else going on with this guy...like he's not actually retired, he's just out of a job.
Is this a ploy to get no one to show up at the Apple store you're going to?
If that's real... then omg.
Are those people all lined up for the iPhone???
I can't see it. I could see one or two people, but 10+. Can't be.

It's a fake. Why would the Apple store have iMac displays when they just shipped the new iPhone displays? But i wonder what they were lined up for, doesn't seem like they were camping out...Hmm
It was probably the grand opening of the store. There can be lines out the door for hours at a new Apple store opening.
True, this may be the case, how could a guy w/no job buy an iPhone? well, that's probably up to him. But don't be surprised, I've met many VERY successful investors in my area that look just like this dude.
I meet them and I think, man this guy doesn't dress well, kinda like a slob, and I find out that they have real estate investments/stock galore! Makes me think twice about judging people on appearance, lots of very rich people in small town USA are too normal.
EDIT: I was wrong, this guy is not one of those normal rich people. just attention starved.
It is a fake picture depicting tonight. At 8pm the sun was out in Seattle and there was no line at the Apple Store at U Village. Also, no one has on sweaters, people have on shorts. Finally!
I tell you what people can donate to this guy-some money to buy some Crest White Strips! Good God man-get your teeth cleaned!
And also, there is no EXIF data to verify the date and time of the shot...
so i'm going with fake as well

I met a former hedge fund risk analyst and risk manager around 4pm today. His name is Shiran. He now works as a corporate governance analyst. He's 38 years old. He retired at the age of 35. He's visited 178 of the world's 193 sovereign countries, including several international conflict zones: Sudan, North Korea, etc. He holds (quadruple?) citizenship, and he speaks Italian, English and some Sinhalese. When I asked him where he was from, he said, "Everywhere... and nowhere".
We spoke for over 1 1/2 hours. Believe it or not, he's trained as an aeronautical engineer -- his mathematics background was sufficient for him to cross-over into finance and be as successful as he is.
I'll be seeing him again tomorrow morning. He's leaving for London soon, but we'll cross paths again in Chicago. We'll be keeping in touch. He even offered to come by in the morning with breakfast food. He's a terribly nice guy and a pleasure to talk to.
I just learned there's a concert tomorrow sponsored by the GM Building not more than 100 yards away. The last artist they had perform was Toby Keith. The week before, it was Beyonce.
