What is Marilyn Monroe Money vs Danny Devito Dollars?

Also known as: Marilyn Monroe Money vs Danny Devito Dollars, Danny Devito Dollars

It is Travis Sago's way of splitting income into two kinds. Danny Devito Dollars are ugly: traded for your hours and energy, and they stop the moment you do. Marilyn Monroe Money is collected, not toiled for, for renting access to an asset you own or control. It arrives while you live your life, even while you sleep.

Most people have only ever been paid one way. Trade an hour, get a dollar. Stop trading hours and the dollars stop with you. Travis Sago calls that Danny Devito money: ugly, sweat-soaked, and gone the second you stop working for it. Every job pays this way. So does most freelancing.

The other kind shows up without you bleeding for each one. You rent out access to an asset, and a share of every sale is yours, earned while you’re at dinner or asleep. Marilyn Monroe money.

The part most people miss is that you don’t have to own the asset to collect it. You can get control of someone else’s list and offer, do the follow-up they keep skipping, and keep a share. That’s the found money idea, and it’s the whole difference between money you chase and money you collect.

FAQ

How do you earn Marilyn Monroe Money without owning an asset?

You get control of someone else's list and offer instead of owning them. You do the follow-up they skip and keep a share of the sales, so the money is collected rather than traded hour for hour.

Is this passive income?

Not entirely. It takes real work to set up and run, and there are no guarantees. But once a partnership is running, a share of sales can keep coming in without you trading an hour for each dollar.
