If you took a fourth of 250k, you'd still have more than my annual salary, yet somehow this guy in Austin, Texas is making that money by dumpster diving.

Matt Malone already makes six figures at his day job, but added 225k to his income by diving in the dumpsters behind major retail stores.  A few years back he was doing this looking for documents to help him hack retailers who had paid him to test security.  While scrounging around looking for sensitive info, he realized that many of the chain stores throw out new or practically new merchandise on a regular basis.

These days, Matt shows up with a truck and hauls away the goods to sell online.  After pulling down over a quarter million in 2014, the humiliation of being seen digging stuff out of the trash seems pretty damn well justified.
