Shoji Morimoto Monetized Doing Nothing

After a Japanese man named Shoji Morimoto was fired from an office job in 2018 for supposedly "doing nothing," he turned the criticism into a career. He began renting himself out as a "person who does nothing," offering clients his quiet presence at meals, outings, and events without performing any particular task. Morimoto later reported earning roughly $80,000 a year from the service.
