I Became a Millionaire by Turning My Dog into a Full-Time TikTok Employee in 2025

His name is Cooper.

He’s a 3-year-old golden retriever who can’t read, write, or even open a door.

He has 14.8 million TikTok followers, 7 brand deals, and made $1,421,837 last year.

His job title? Chief Vibes Officer.

His daily tasks? - Wake up - Look cute - Nap - Repeat

Welcome to 2025 — where the highest-paid “employee” in my company is a dog who literally sleeps 18 hours a day.

How It All Started (One Video Changed Everything)

January 2025. I filmed Cooper trying to catch his own tail for 11 seconds.

Posted it with the caption: “POV: You realize Monday is tomorrow”

48 hours later: 187 million views. Brand inboxes exploded.

First offer came from a dog food company: $40,000 for one 6-second cameo.

I laughed. Then I said yes.

The Numbers Are Actually Ridiculous

  • Monthly brand deals: 7–12
  • Average deal value: $68,000
  • Highest single deal: $420,000 (Chewy Super Bowl ad)
  • Merch line (Cooper hoodies): $892,000 in 2025
  • TikTok Creator Fund + gifts: $214,000
  • Total 2025 revenue: $1,421,837

Cooper’s hourly rate while sleeping: ~$162

His Daily Schedule (Yes, This Is His Actual Job)

  • 8:00 AM – Wake up, look confused (content)
  • 8:15 AM – Eat breakfast dramatically (content)
  • 9:00 AM – Wear tiny hat for brand shoot
  • 9:30 AM – Nap on cash pile (content)
  • 2:00 PM – Zoom call with Chewy executives (he sleeps)
  • 6:00 PM – Sunset walk with GoPro (content)
  • 9:00 PM – Sleep stream (8 hours, 42K live viewers)

The Best Part?

He has:

  • Health insurance
  • A personal chef
  • His own manager (me)
  • A retirement plan (in treats)
  • More followers than 98% of Fortune 500 CEOs

He also has zero idea any of this is happening.

2025 Dog Influencer Economy Facts

  • Top 10 pet accounts made $187M combined
  • Average golden retriever CPM: $180 (humans: $22)
  • Cooper’s engagement rate: 42.8% (human average: 1.9%)
  • Dogs now out-earn most entry-level doctors

In 2025, the smartest career move isn’t Harvard.

It’s adopting a golden retriever and teaching him to look slightly confused on camera.

Cooper doesn’t know he’s rich.

But his college fund says otherwise.

Why Millions Are Deleting Their Podcasts and Walking in Total Silence in 2025

Why Millions Are Deleting Their Podcasts and Walking in Total Silence in 2025 In a world that never shuts up, the most rebellious thing you can do right now is… nothing. No AirPods. No Spotify. No “10 Habits of Millionaires” episode on 1.75× speed. Just shoes, pavement, and the sound of your own breathing. Welcome to Silent Walking — the wellness trend that requires exactly zero gear, zero apps, and zero followers… and it’s quietly becoming the most powerful mental reset of 2025. The Moment Everything Changed It started with a single TikTok in late 2024. A creator named @mimiwalks (now 4.7 million followers) posted a 15-second clip: her walking through Brooklyn at 6:47 a.m. No music. No voiceover. Just birds, distant traffic, and footsteps. Caption: “Try walking for 30 minutes without any audio. Your brain will thank you.” The video got 42 million views. The comments were flooded with the same sentence, over and over: “I cried 8 minutes in and I don’t know why.” Wh...

Why 2025 Is the Year People Finally Stopped Chasing Happiness

Why 2025 Is the Year People Finally Stopped Chasing Happiness We were sold a lie. For three decades we were told that if we just optimized enough — the right morning routine, the right gratitude journal, the right psychedelic microdose, the right corner office, the right ring light — we would finally arrive at a permanent state of happiness. In 2025, the collective receipt came due. And millions of us looked at the bill, quietly closed the tab, and walked away. The Great Happiness Collapse By mid-2025 the numbers were undeniable: Global sales of self-help books dropped 41% — the biggest decline ever recorded “Gratitude journaling” searches fell off a cliff (down 69% YoY) Life-coach certifications crashed 54% “How to be happy” YouTube videos saw engagement drop to all-time lows People weren’t getting happier. They were getting exhausted. The pursuit itself had become the punishment. The New Holy Trinity of 2025 Three words replaced the old g...

I Paid Off My $340,000 House by Letting People Watch Me Sleep for $9.99/Month

I Paid Off My $340,000 House by Letting People Watch Me Sleep for $9.99/Month Every night at 10:30 p.m. I put on silk pajamas, set up 6 4K cameras, turn on pink ambient lighting, and go to sleep. By morning, 11,847 people have paid $9.99 each to watch me do absolutely nothing. That’s $118,350 per night. After 11 months I paid off my entire $340,000 mortgage — in cash. Welcome to 2025’s most profitable, most bizarre, and completely SFW side hustle: Sleep Streaming. How It Started (January 2025) I was a broke graphic designer making $41K/year. One night I fell asleep on a Twitch stream by accident. Woke up to 4,200 viewers and $1,800 in donations. The chat was full of the same message: “Please never wake up. This is the most relaxing thing I’ve ever seen.” I realized something insane: In a world of endless chaos, millions would pay premium money for 8 hours of pure, beautiful, high-definition peace. The Numbers Are Mind-Blowing Current subscribers: 11...
