25 Shocking ways to make money with human body

Warning: Sensitive Content

King Midas who turned his beloved daughter in gold statue was always too unbelievable. There was never that much gold, nor gold turning magical powers. Were there?

Likewise, lying, begging, cheating, killing, (suicide/murder), kidnapping, loving, having sex, marrying, divorcing and dying for money was always prevalent and commonplace.

But, new age — new rules — new horizons

Now there are new shocking ambitious ways to make money, all with our human body, alive or dead. 

Mind you;

Not all of these measures are desperate. Some of them are even fun, or pleasure, or disgusting, or downright sickening!

1. Participating in extreme, dangerous experiments
2. Selling body organs. In 2011, Chinese teenager sold his kidney for $3,500 to buy an iPhone, later suffering permanent health damage.
3. Changing their name for money: In the UK, a man changed his name to "Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined" to win a bet.
4. Selling their death: Some people have terminal illness have sold their life insurance policies while still alive. Some have opted for space burial or other unusual method of body disposal in exchange for money.
5. Doing extreme-unthinkable acts to win prize money on reality television challenges: people have even live insects, human/animal excrement, revealed deep secret etc.
6. Participated in hugely unethical/illegal behaviour such as selling their legally wedded spouse/children/underage children for money.
7. Extreme sports and adventure: Running across countries and continents for prize-money, summiting highest peaks in the world in limited time. Some have cycled and walked barefoot across entire countries and continent to get money.
8. Going nude in public/nude bathing/ undressing/sex and more for money. Lady Godiva in 13th century rode on her horse naked to oppose her husband's high taxes against poor peasants which was at least not for self gain.
9. Selling virginity for money. Believe it or not, there's allegedly a huge market for virginity since ancient times.
10. Selling hair and virgin human hair: Virgin human hair can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
11. Selling urine: People sell their urine illegally for fetish market and drug tests.
12. Selling dead body, human organs, human body parts illegally. A West Bengal woman allegedly sold her husband's kidney on the black market, stole the money, then fled with her lover.
13. Selling used underwear, nail clippings, sweat, menstrual blood!
14. Poop selling, although illegal for obvious reasons is also already on the list.
15. Marrying for green card, residence permit, visa, travelling to foreign lands.
16. Marrying, or killing for inheritance.
17. Selling personal stories, breakups, private occurrences, or embarrassments.
18. Flashing ones's underwear in public or before camera is old and replaced by flashing one's private parts.
19. Consuming human faecal matter or poop for money. It's a fetish thing.
20. Killing/crushing mice, fish, snails or other small animals though, of course it can involve bigger animals and even human beings as 'Crush Fetish' for sexual arousal and satisfaction. Worse: there are currently no laws that forbid crushing of animals!
    In 2006 an Internet crush video surfaced in which a woman stomps on a kitten with stiletto high-heels. Eventually the woman drives her heel into the kitten's eye and penetrates the eye socket, leading to loss of blood and the death of the kitten
21. Selling fetus and baby body-parts. Sickening as it is, it is sadly true and companies and people have been caught at it.
22. Renting their bodies to advertisers: Some have tattooed logos or QR codes onto their bodies as human billboards, either temporarily or permanently.
23. A Chezch Republich woman became an instant sensation, instant inspiration to thousands of girls and advertising companies and quite rich by selling her breasts as advertising space.
24. Selling wife: Curiously this was practised in old days, notably Britain when divorce-getting was problematic and continued marriage was unbearable. The wife in this case was paraded before buyers with a halter around her neck, arm and waist and she would go the highest bidder in public auction. Evidence of wife selling is found in Thomas Hardy's 1886 novel 'The Mayor of Casterbridge.' In modern times, it is becoming sickeningly commonplace for men to sell their wives for money, fun, publicity, gratitude, promotion, fetish or revenge.
25. Selling husband: Usually women in 19th century sold their husband to new wives to escape slavery. But it was relatively rare. Nowadays, it's a trend.

Bonus Point: Selling soul to the devil for spectacular and instant money and fame

In recent times there has been a lot of talk on a lot of famous people, having literally sold their soul to the devil in return for success, fame and money. The above picture is of Infernus, a famous Norwegian black metal guitarist. In his notorious Krakow, Poland Show 2004, he displayed nude crucified models, actual sheep heads pinned on stakes and 80 litres of sheep blood, not to mention other symbols. For shock value, negative pblicity and of course for worshipping the Satan he has allegedly sold his soul to.

Bob Dylan, Lil Uzi Vert, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Nicki Minaj, Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Johnson, Taylor Swift and many others have been accused of making a pact with the devil in return for money, success and fame.

And this list is not by any means complete…!
