YouTube megastar, Los Angeles neighborhood terrorizer, and definitely fake marriage haver Jake Paul has a new idea to better the lives of his Gen Z fans by teaching them how to be exactly like him.

Variety reports that Paul launched his new enterprise, the Financial Freedom Movement (FFM) at a skate park on Saturday after tweeting his desire to educate the younger generation on how to become online entrepreneurs in the vein of Jake and his brother Logan.

In his tweet, which explains the ethos behind FFM, Paul wrote "the education system is worthless" and that it's "teaching kids 0 real life skills to secure there [sic] own future."

Variety's report on his launch event also contained a quote from Paul in which he admitted to cheating on the online course he used to complete his high school diploma:

Paul dropped out of school after 11th grade, completing his diploma through an online course.

“I just got the answers from a cheat site and put it in and didn’t have to do any work,” recalled Paul, whose career includes a stint on Disney Channel show, “Bizaardvark.” He suspects other reluctant students are doing the same. 

Subscribers to the Financial Freedom Movement will pay $19.99 a month for online seminars with Paul and other YouTubers who hope to impart lessons on topics such as brand building and how to take business meetings once that brand building inevitably goes well enough to merit such meetings.

Paul also told Variety what his idea of financial freedom is, which is having enough money to throw big parties and go on two-month vacations.

"At the end of the day," Paul said, "it kind of ties back to if I want to throw a party, why not?”

Why not indeed.
