Another foreign-born businessman just cashed in big on American consumers. Rohan Oza, who came here from Africa, made a fortune selling drinks to trusting Americans. He just helped broker a massive $1.9 billion deal for some trendy soda called Poppi.
This guy has been working behind the scenes for years. He made millions by getting Hollywood celebrities to push beverages on regular folks. Stars like Jennifer Aniston and rapper 50 Cent got rich while Americans paid higher prices for fancy water and energy drinks.
Oza appeared on Shark Tank and learned how to work the system. He figured out that Americans will buy anything if a celebrity tells them to. Now Pepsi just handed him and his partners nearly two billion dollars for a prebiotic soda that most people never heard of.
The deal shows how out of touch big corporations have become. While hardworking families struggle with inflation and high grocery bills, Pepsi throws around billions for trendy drinks. They could have invested that money in American jobs or lowered prices for consumers.
Hollywood celebrities made bank on these beverage deals too. They got paid millions just for putting their faces on bottles while regular Americans footed the bill. These stars live in mansions while pushing overpriced drinks to working families.
The prebiotic soda craze is just another health fad targeting worried parents. Companies like Poppi charge premium prices for drinks that probably work no better than regular soda. But clever marketing and celebrity endorsements convinced people to pay more.
Oza represents everything wrong with modern business culture. Foreign entrepreneurs come here and get rich by manipulating American consumers through celebrity worship. Meanwhile, small American businesses struggle to compete against these well-connected operators.
This billion-dollar deal proves that the beverage industry has lost touch with average Americans. While families choose between groceries and gas, corporate executives celebrate massive payouts for trendy drinks that will be forgotten in a few years.
