--------
Billy McFarland discussed the chaotic creation of the infamous Fyre Festival, initially planned on Pablo Escobar's former private island. McFarland admitted to dubious financial claims, stating Fyre Media was worth $90 million despite only doing $60,000 in business. Assembling a team in early Fall 2016, McFarland's vision for a high-profile festival quickly spiraled out of control. The original location was lost after a promotional video mentioned Escobar, resulting in a cease-and-desist order. They relocated to a different island in the Bahamas, ironically still linked to Escobar through his attorney. McFarland confessed to lying to investors and misjudging the massive logistical differences between hosting a small event in New York and building a festival city from scratch. He revealed paying $250,000 to Kendall Jenner for promotional posts, underscoring the misplaced priorities and naivety that doomed the event.

I can so easily picture making this mistake if I was in the position 😂 they had so many mini successes that it just made sense to do this. He built a company that actually worked, he was able to host events and have many popular artists perform and also agree to the actual festival which was way later than all the other successes that lead to this idea.

Sucks that they did throw many other events with success, just this one didn’t because he admittedly miscalculated every nuance that comes with being able to throw a festival of that magnitude. He can easily do this again the right way 😂 and he should. They just blew their budget too early on.
