The Man Who Sold Air — and Became a Millionaire

In 2015, a Canadian man named Moses Lam decided to sell something no one thought had value: bottled air.

He collected pure air from the Rocky Mountains, sealed it in aluminum cans, and sold it online to smog-filled cities in China.

It started as a joke. His first listing on eBay sold for $60. Then 10 more. Then 100.

Within months, Vitality Air became a global sensation — he made hundreds of thousands of dollars selling literally nothing.

His company’s tagline?

“Guaranteed fresh — unless you already breathed it.”
