The How I Become a Millionaire skit, beat by beat
Whichever way you choose, these five beats are what people recognize. The caption above the guy sets it up: "That one dude who asks ChatGPT everything."
- 1
Phone up, like a voice note
Hold the phone close to your mouth and ask: "ChatGPT, how I become a millionaire in 30 days?" Keep the broken grammar; it is part of the joke.
- 2
Wait and stare at the screen
A short, serious pause while the answer loads. Don't rush it; the joke needs the wait.
- 3
Read the answer out loud
"Get a job." Flat, word for word, like you can't believe what you're reading.
- 4
Take it personally
Look up, offended, then type something back fast with both thumbs.
- 5
Ask again
Raise the phone and ask once more how to get rich, this time without a job.
How I Become a Millionaire tutorial: film it yourself
The free way. You need a phone, a second person to hold the camera, and a few takes.
- 1
Use the trend's sound
On TikTok or Instagram Reels, open a video of the trend, tap its sound and use it for your own video. Or say the lines yourself.
- 2
Frame it like the original
One vertical, handheld shot, outdoors, waist up, with your phone in hand the whole time. The person filming follows you loosely instead of cutting.
- 3
Learn the timing first
Play the sound a few times and mouth along before you film. The pause before "Get a job" is where the laugh is, so hit it exactly.
- 4
Make the reaction bigger than feels natural
The offended look is the punchline. On a small screen, a face that feels too much while filming usually reads just right.
- 5
Post with the trend's name
Put "how I become a millionaire" or #chatgptmillionairetrend in the caption so people know which meme they're watching.
How to make an AI version with a prompt
This is how public guides for the trend set up an AI video tool that takes a reference clip. Treat it as a starting point; we have not tested these prompts ourselves.
- 1
Start from the skit clip
Give the tool the skit as a reference video and your photo as the new lead, instead of describing a new scene from nothing.
- 2
Write the beats in order
The question, the pause, "Get a job", the offended look, the fast typing, the second question. Short lines, in the order they happen.
- 3
Mark the pauses "mouth closed"
Guides add this to every silent moment so the lips only move when someone is talking.
- 4
Remove the caption first
Guides crop or clean out any text burned into the reference clip before it goes in. You can add the caption back when you post.
- 5
For a dog, say how it stands
Write "standing on its hind legs, holding the phone in its front paws", as guides do for pets.
Common problems with prompt-made AI versions
These are faults that guides for the trend report, with simple first things to try. We have not tested them ourselves.
Someone else's hair or earrings show up
The tool kept details from the person in the original clip. Use a sharp, front-facing photo where your own hair is clearly visible, then run it again.
Sunglasses appear out of nowhere
Use a photo without sunglasses, and write "no sunglasses" in the prompt.
The mouth drifts off the words
Mark every pause "mouth closed" and keep the video the same length as the clip. Even then, one guide warns the lip sync won't be exact.
The dog's paws turn into hands
Use a photo where the dog's face and front paws are clearly visible, and run it again before you change the photo.
How to do the How I Become a Millionaire trend on this site in 3 steps
- 1
Choose the lead
This is the one-person version of the skit, so you need one photo: yourself, an adult friend who agreed, or your dog. No co-star and no one to hold the camera.
- 2
Upload a photo that shows your outfit
A sharp, front-facing photo works best. What you wear in it is what you wear in the park, so a waist-up shot is ideal. For a dog, get its whole face in view.
- 3
Generate, no rehearsal or prompt
The lines, voice and timing are already set. You can close the tab; the clip lands in My videos and stays there for 30 days.

Add one photo of you or your dog. No prompt and no filming: the park, the phone, the lines and the timing stay as in the skit.
One person or one dog per photo, face clearly visible. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.
- No app
- No watermark
- Credits back if a video fails
