I got two sphinxes and a small tomb in ‘the valley of the kings’ for 22K. It doesn’t go far thanks to the welcoming committee. ;)

Betterware and the like are not Pyramid selling. They are Multi-Level Marketing. Some people can make a few extra bob from these type. :)

I once paid £5 to enter one... surprisingly I never got anything out of it, and now my life is ruined because I'm £5 short of being able to but a house and I have to live on the streets and its cold and I'm so poor I can't even afford a computer to type on....
