Few influencers in today’s world have as fascinating a backstory as Jay Martinez, who currently has 2 million tik tok followers. Jay Martinez is a New Britain, Connecticut-based social media influencer and stock option day trader.
But things were not always the same; Jay went from sleeping in a little hatchback Honda in Miami to driving a Ferrari in less than a year by saving every dime.
Jay worked for a phone repair firm to supplement his income by repairing phone screens on the side. He’s worked as a restaurant server, clothing store manager, strip club bouncer, and club promoter, where he was paid $100 and a bottle to lure girls to the VIP section to make the club look live and enjoyable. On his Facebook page, Jay has also modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch and Ed Hardy.
He enjoys seeing people succeed, and he is always willing to offer advice on how to survive on the streets, as he has done in the past. Even now, he claims that if he were left in the midst of the city with nothing but the clothes on his back and no family or friends to aid him, he would rise in no time. He’d buy a tent and sleep in the woods, then upgrade to renting out a climate-controlled storage unit and sleeping there at night when the workers depart, all while saving money by taking the bus to work for part-time labor pools and other savings activities.
He is a clever and skilled trader and investor in addition to social media. Throughout the day, he buys and sells securities and other financial instruments. Using the price swings as leverage, he is able to benefit. Last year, he made more than $600,000 from day trading.
When he is on stage in front of a crowd of people, he feels energized; it is such a benefit to him that he is ready to continue organizing and be free. To put it another way, the ability to follow his heart and passion is what gives Jay the most life.
