After learning this reality of making money, Paul was in a sense of disbelief.

Explaining it further he said, ” I’m bragging to them and he goes,’ Man it sucks you’re gonna have to give 30 to the government and I said what are you talking about? The government? It’s my money. I made this money. He goes are you an idiot? Like you have to pay taxes. I go attacking. My mom pays taxes. I don’t that’s like a parent thing though right At 18 years old, I’m stunned that this is a thing. No one taught me in school. My parents didn’t teach me.”

Chiming in were Akon and George Lanko. They also expressed the pang they feel when a certain amount of money they make goes away in the form of taxes. Lanko said, “I’ll always remember the first time that when it finally hit seven figures I cried. I actually cried I had actual tears you paid seven figures in taxes in three past years.”
