Meet the Man Who’s Made $15 Million Diving For Golf Balls
Ever wonder what happens to all those balls you lost while playing golf? Meet Glenn Berger.
Glenn isn’t your average entrepreneur. After finding himself without a job 14 years ago, he decided to make a career out of his two biggest passions: golfing and scuba diving.
According to Berger, he’s made around $15 million over the years from finding, cleaning and reselling golf balls to courses in the Florida area. Glenn claims to sell between 1.3 to 1.7 million balls a year; which averages out to over 5,400 ball per day.
This definitely isn’t a job for a weekend warrior. In addition to the normal risks of scuba diving, Glenn often encounters snakes and alligators while searching for unwanted balls. Talk about an investi-gator!
