Asking Coachella VIPs What They Do For a Living! (2024)

- For this video, I went to Coachella (weekend 1) to interview a bunch of people staying at the Safari Campgrounds, the most exclusive experience offered at the festival. In addition to that, I also interviewed people at the Coachella invite-only parties as well as die-hard coachella fans on the festival grounds. I got to ask strangers a bunch of questions about what they did for a living to afford their tickets, advice for others, and a bunch of other spicy questions about money, business, and philosophy.

If you're curious about pricing - tickets for the Safari pass range anywhere from $9,000 for a tent, all the way up to over $28,000 for a luxurious yurt which is absolutely insane (it's a 4 night stay). My girlfriend and I paid $11k for ours since we booked a bit late. I've always wondered what types of people are able to afford renting something like this, and surprise- the professions and careers we got were mostly entrepreneurs with cool businesses! And make sure you stay until the end, because the guests I talked to at the parties and exclusive coachella areas were also super interesting and successful.

Some more info about the Safari camping experience: Tents are $9-11k for 2 tickets, +$3k per additional person up to 4 total. Pricing depends on when you book. The cabanas are $12k for 2 tickets. The Residences (part of The Resort at Coachella) are $28k and come with a fenced off area, and includes 2 artist tickets. Yurts are also $28k and include 2 of the same higher-end tickets, I think you may be able to add on tickets for a fee. For residences and yurts, they both come with things like private golf cart, airfare, daily maid service, nightly dinner reservations, house car, and more.
For the standard Safari tents, the perks include free food (breakfast, snacks, and late night meals), a free massage, golf cart access the entire weekend (this was the biggest perk IMO), accommodations, concierge service, and artist guest wristbands that give you access to the artist/guest areas of stages. A lot of people think oh you're paying that much for a tent, it's not worth it - but the real perks are everything else that comes with it. As you can see from the tent tour, it's not glamorous at all and the bathroom situation is even worse haha. But the perks are in my opinion worth it if you have the spare money.
Last year I also stayed in the same level of tent- and this year I was really considering getting the residence/yurt and spending $28k. In the end, I decided that it was just too much but I wish I could've showed you the experience. Maybe next year!!

Coachella Weekend 1 2024 was a blast and I hope you enjoy this video! We interviewed a ton of cool people (some paid $40-50k for the weekend) and it was so interesting asking people what they do for a living and for their advice. Is this tent rental worth $11,000? Let me know in the comments haha.

“How much did your parents contribute to your success” should be asked way more than It Is.
wow, thats actaully very true, cause I'd assume about 30% or more of these people were setup by their parents
That question is only useful if you feel like a failure yourself and need something to blame it on
@@chad_usa no, its the truth the regardless, people get shit handed to them because of their parents, and at the end of the day you and those people know that, but choose not to aknowledge cause you know you didnt put in the same work ethic and time like the people who did :p
@@ltzdawn Oh no you lost the parent lottery and your life isn't as easy! Let's just cry about it even though we live in the United States and have every resource to start up our own business. Learning how to use Shopify takes way too many minutes and that would cut into your Netflix time 😰😰
@@ltzdawn yup, easier to make the ladder and then climb the latter when you weren’t burnt out doing 3 jobs and school for that last 5 years lmao
“DO WHAT YOU FEAR, AND FEAR WILL DISAPPEAR” wow…that one hit home, suprised I have never heard that quote
What if I fear death
@@Johnne009 If you're dead you no longer fear death
I think there's a similar quote in Dune the movie
I had to stop and dig deep on that one
What if I fear men? Do I do men?
I'm turning 25 next month, I've had a hard time finishing my undergrad but in September, I'll finally be in my last year. To anyone else in their mid 20s or late 20s, if you see all these "successful" young people here, just remember that you're enough wherever you are in life. I just had to remind myself of this as well
I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling that after this video😅
Finished my undergraduate at 25 in 2023. Finally seeing my finances improve along with more freedom. Continue! It will come at the right time. 🙏
“Success” whatever that is, is just a socially constructed illusion. Who cares
Thank you for this. I turned 25 yesterday and the only real things I have to show for myself are a decent savings (nothing compared to these people in the video) an old car, and a high school diploma. Birthdays have not been fun for me as I've gone through my 20's, wondering and stressing about my path in life & that I'm doing nothing with my life but hosting part time at a restaurant. But I did just attend Coachella for the first time this year which is what interested me in this video because Coachella was pretty pricey, just for the bare minimum experience. I'm glad I watched this video because it sparked something in me (also probably the fact that I'm now 25) to take control and start thinking, learning, and growing. Hopefully I can keep this determination and motivation. Good luck to all of you that even slightly feel stuck in life like me. We are enough, and we're doing just fine where we are. We've gotten this far. I got this, you got this, we got this :)
you wasted years of ur life in school when you could have learned an actual skill.. so ur starting from base 1 brodie
The first guy was so nice and real. They were all so friendly and seem approachable, love it.
He was my favorite.
His social media page about Las Vegas is super entertaining, too! It's called @VegasIssues
NPC behavior 😂
@@jjerkamillo You are a narcissist if you think that people around you "act like NPCs". We're not living in a videogame.
@@peachesandcream22 that’s not what a narcissist is, but pop off king
Randomly clicked on this video and got a ton of inspiration I wasn’t even looking for. Super cool hearing everyone’s perspective on hard work and entrepreneurship.
i agree!! 🙏🏼
THIS!!! It popped up randomly & I’m glad. Such a good video so far omg ✨
I was here to be nosey over the trust fund babies, but I was glad we got some great conversations with some true hustlers and entrepreneurs!
BEST thing you can do is to STOP drinking! You'll save so much money, you won't have any regrets, you'll feel great all the time. Be content with who you are without any highs or lows.
Fr
I second this, the amount of people that just accept that Saturday mornings are a write off due to hangovers are literally losing so much time and potential for progress
Just get a job where they offer you free beer.
Great advice!
But what if you already don’t drink?
I hate when they say “work hard” as advice for people who are poor….we’ve BEEN working hard since we were legally able to, probably to a higher degree than some of them. I know it just sounds like complaining but it’s way easier to ‘invest in yourself’ and double down. And be patient when you have a safety net (trust fund, well-off supportive parents, etc) most Americans can’t afford a $1000 emergency, let alone take off months or years off to pursue entrepreneurship. Working hard isn’t advice, it’s a a reality for most people.
thisssssss!
yo i feel you 👊🏾 these people are mad corny
Charlie is a genius for this. Basically makes coachella one huge tax write off every year 👀
you cant go on any vacation, film it and claim it as business expenses.. are you 12 years old and just watched ur first grant cardone video? yikes my man
I bet this trip was a tax write off.
If done correctly.
@@lilolme69 exactly…. Gotta do it right!
Good for him, if so!
100%. And he has proof! 😂
Notice how he laughed when the guy said commit tax fraud 🤣
Most of these people don’t seem to be self made starters like they’re trying to project.
I wonder how the flipping houses lady was able to afford investing a million dollars into a project. Maybe it was her ceo divorcee. Sometimes hardwork is not enough, the circumstances have to be right too.
Some of this advice is good. Go for your goals, entrepreneurship is not for everyone, fear can hold you back. The difference is these people likely have a huge cushion to fall back on if their effort fails. The violinist lady seemed to be the most realistic.
You’re not hearing from people who started a business, failed, lost everything, worked hard, turned it around and now are at coachella.
Spending over 4k for a single person including airfare for this festival is insane to me. They’re free to have fun, but coachella definitely has an elitist side to it.
Lies!!!
Facts
Definitely. They were talking more so for social media likes, what would he popular on social media than they actually were being honest and meant it
The flipping houses lady admitted that she started flipping houses after the divorce and that her ex-husband is the CEO of multiple companies. She also answered the question of how was she able to pay for Coachella by saying she is a divorced lady, before saying she flips houses. She was pretty honest.
He should have asked better questions like how are you self-made? Coming out of a divorce doesn't make you self-made if you're receiving alimony. Lots of people at Coachella and Ultra are being funded by their families.
Taylor is so mature for her age. The way she articulates herself is very grown up. I get she`s 23 but trust me as a 33 year old, I have been 23 and i did NOT articulate myself like that. And a lot of people her age still act like teenagers.
Oh yes completely. When I was 23 I was an idiot 😂
Divorce attorney is probably the best job in 2024.
Selling real estate as well.
Yes they were a great tag team, honestly if I had the extra money laying around I would move to Florida and flip houses
Do what you fear and fear will disappear.. i like that
100% regular So Cal gal here, love Coachella, car camp I spent about 3k total on a two tickets, regular car camp pass, gas, food prepped, I have tons of camping gear, and I spent about 500 of that budget inside the festival. Traveled with 4 friends so one ticket was bought by a friend. We traveled from Vegas this year because I just got transferred….hope that helps the average person looking to attend. And I’m in my 40’s no age shaming with the regulars. Always have a great time in the general area. This year the gates didn’t let you line up you literally had to be there about 1-2 before 9a any earlier and it would had been pointless because there was no waiting .
😂😂😂😂 imagine
I don’t ever comment on videos, but I just had to give my props to you for this one. Some of these videos tend to be so gimmicky, but this one was so full of gems. You found great people. Kudos to you!
I enjoy watching videos that interview people in settings like this. It's wonderful to witness the human experience in action. We all yearn for happiness and unity, especially in vibrant places like Coachella. The advice they share reveals their character and personality, which is fascinating to observe. Each person's uniqueness is beautiful to me. It's a reminder that even when we're unaware, our beauty shines through.
Shout out to the guy that got financially cut in half by the devorce lawyer and his wife so they can go to Coachella
No rings as well. lol
devorces? are you slow?
LMAO!
Yeah, they were awful
@@ivangotyokes How were they awful.
One tip that I can give for anyone that could use it, if you do not have an upbringing from your parents or even if you do, PLEASE finish high school for one, if you did not have the greatest GPA to give you a head start into college, take the community college route if you are not certain in what you want to pursue. If you are able to commit to a 4-year university, COMMIT. You will thank yourself in the future if you focus extremely hard for 4 years. Advice that I wish I had gotten and followed years ago from my dad is, "Sometimes you need to sacrifice 5+ years, so you can get 30 in the future. You can't pursue your passion if you're broke." To take from this, sometimes it can be best for you to take the "safe and secure" money making job. For example, I was above average at math and I wish I committed to finish Accounting because it is a safe, high base-pay career. As a current college student, your success is determined on how well you can learn and retain information. Learn and develop studying skills and methods. Live your life for you and not to prove to others what you have.
I’m a single mother of a 15 year old son. I am making him and his friends watch this right now. They all want to go to Coachella, but I can’t afford it at this time. I’m having them watch this to feed them some food for thought. It’s really cool for them to see advice from different perspectives!!!😎
Best not to have a 15 year old go anyway tbh, there’s tons of ppl smoking drinking and walking around basically naked 😂
Coachella is expensive. Trips like that you can't ask your parents to pay for. There are a lot of local music festivals and concerts that are way more affordable and fun.
If he’s 15, he’s old enough to work and pay for his own trip.
I went to coachella, got paid for it and had all access bracelet by working sight ops for the festival weeks befor it started. Had the best time!..
I love these, so inspirational and motivating for your younger audience. I'm impressed by everyone you interviewed. Nice work!
Here for Des and Alex 💖💖
23:23 I never thought I would see them on this channel. It makes me happy to see you including a variety of cultures and backgrounds in this channel. Thank you for what you do Charlie 🙏
Appreciate the comment! I just saw them and since they looked interesting I had to ask them. They were super nice
Yes I seen Blesiv and clicked just to see them. Lol
yay Jas!! Glad you guys did this for a second time
Honestly love this , I don’t have many people around me to share advice like this coming from a first gen family , this video is 🔥
I absolutely love Taylor!! Her financial advice is top notch, you can tell she’s very passionate and dedicated to her work.
Definitely love seeing all walks of life being interviewed! Time to take this content creating more seriously😎
Love this content! I love your questions on entrepreneurs! So much value! Thank you.
Steezy is incredible! I was so happy to see the co-owner in this video. I've been subscribed to the platform for years. They have amazing dance classes from incredible teachers, including pioneers of the particular dance styles. They made dance accessible, I didn't realize they had such a big amount of paying subscribers. They absolutely deserve it!
So cool how the first guy is the owner of that page, my friends were moderators for years lol glad you had such approachable people here!
that dude is so fucking chill and lowkey grinding good for him man,. open honest being
Thank you so much for this video! This was awesome! 😊
I definitely should try the festival out sometime. Since I choose to spend a bunch of money on skiing, I feel like the transition to a festival once in awhile could be a good experience
Great questions and getting insights. I'm learning so much from your interviews. Thank you.
You ask great questions! Good job.
I’m here for the inspiration and motivation. Thanks for making this video.
This was a lot more wholesome than I was expecting… super dope take
Great questions asked, and you’re also a great interviewer. Keep up the good work.
9:00 the 'work hard' suggestion bs. you thinking 'working hard' at McDs will get you anywhere in 25 years? Just a phrase rich people tell poor people so poor people don't behead them and start a revolution because if the poor knew wealth was impossible no matter how hard they tried, they would
Yeah, all those "work hard and you really can't fail" folk seemed like types who have parents (or divorce settlements) to pay their room and board while they are "trying hard." They have Beyoncé's 24 hours in their day, not the average person's.
Love your video from last year and this year! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing again. I watched your post last year. very informative . Like how people keep it real and honest about the careers and direction/ recommendations and advise!! 💯👍
Awhhh, I’m from Fresno 🤣 how exciting to see someone from here on your vid!
Terrific video!! Loved every minute of it, learned so much!
This was so inspirational to see so many young successful people. Thanks for making the content that you do.
Great video, thanks for all the inspiration 🖤
pumped for what steezy has in the future!
What lovely people and great advice. I’ll admit I didn’t expect it and was pleasantly surprised!
New subscriber, thanks for providing value and footing such a large cost to do so.
Charlie awesome video!!!!! 🙌🏼
Dude this was an awesome video, so much great info
great insight, advice, and tips in this video! great job man
I wish you would have asked, "Where did you start at?" or "How much capital after high-school did you have?"
Fabian seems so chill and down to earth. Loved his vibe.
I remember watching your video from last year. Its also so interesting to see who goes to coachella its a broad mix of people it seems
Advice that was repeated:
1. Believe in yourself
2. Show up and be consistent
3. Start creating instead of watching
4. Build Communication Skills
5. Things take time
6. Enjoy life
Great interviews, Charlie! I really enjoyed this video.
Ahhhhhh I was looking for you !!! We were directly opposite your tent in safari zone 😆😆 we booked safari after watching you RUclips videos hahaha
This was so encouraging and inspiring! Thanks for sharing, Charlie ☺
We look at this as a once in a lifetime thing. My bf and I really enjoyed watching the live stream this year and we looked at the prices of the campgrounds with two VIP tixs and it’s up there but seems like the best option. We plan on going in 2026.
The video I was WAITING FOR !!!!!!!
super helpful! to keep going guys. It will be worth it in the end BE KIND ALWAYS XO
A lot of those ppl are very nice and successful in their own way.. the older ppl worked for their money it’s amazing and motivating to see ppl have significant amount of money
Hi! I’m a new follower….this video is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing with a fellow Coachella lover 😁
Yes, just be nice. It goes a long way❤
Listening to these people was so inspirational yet made me also feel like Damm wtf am I doing with my life!!! 😢
Thank you for this video
Great interviews & advice - well done!
Amazing video, Charlie. I watched the entire thing. Very insightful and I enjoyed the people you interviewed. Keep up the great work.
Much appreciated!
This video was awesome last year, this is gonna be hella good.
This was a great video! Amazing! I have not yet been to Coachella but it’s on my list! So many great tips and suggestions! Thank you! 🙏 ❤
I loved this. I hope this starts to become annual. Thank you 😊
LOVE STEEZYY!!
love this series
Love the first guy you interviewed! So nice, humble and honest and really inspiring how many unconventional ways there is to make money :D
Great Video Charlie. I especially like the advice Blesiv said just be yourself and its ok to be WEIRD. "You will have dust boogers by the end of the weekend"😂😂
If Taylor is 23 then I'm 2
shes the only one who was in the process of building a business and it shows
Everyone had such solid advice!
I loved this sm
happy belated to ishaan!
Great video, loved the people you met
loved this video
The first guy, dope
The second women, dope
LOVE STEEZY!!
This video was pretty educational
I’m glad I did Coachella when I did. We went every year between 2008 and 2016. We had VIP tickets every year and stayed in hotels near by. I don’t think we ever spent more than $3K. The first year was probably under $400. You were able to pay for a day as opposed to a weekend back then. Also, I’m glad I found your content. This is interesting stuff.
29:32 she got there with humility, dedication and a traditional career. Being yourself, keep trying and CC post every day only works if you know the LA social scene, high-end demographics to partner or collabs
Love the wisdom and excitement. Japan already has a professional dance league though so it won’t be the “world’s first” but I’m excited to see you happen in the U.S.
What a great video!!!
This video made me subscribe today!! ❤❤
Thank you Christina!
Amazing! So cool your gf is an NP, I'm also one too! With a passion for teaching yoga and music also 🥳🥰
You talked to Yas?! Actually insane, she’s on the come up 🤩
this is very inspirational
Prioritize yourself, I love it!!!
Lots of great advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
the way i stress and get annoyed when i spend more than £20 on something temporary like food but these people have no problem spending up to or more than $50,000 on Coachella BAFFLES ME
Vegasissues!!!! Hahaha. I live in Vegas and was not expecting to see someone from Vegas
Asking you what you do for a living?
You - "I ask people what they do for a living for a living."
😂
11k for a tent is wild
So be born rich.
Always interesting
I was hoping we'd see another series this year! Lollapalooza next?
Lalapalooze. Few hundred dollars
Doesn’t have a camping ground
awesome video i'm inspired
thank you bro
