A 38-year-old Japanese man from Tokyo is reportedly earning about SGD$98 per session just to go out with strangers and do nothing.
All her has to do is exist near them and answer them with basic replies when asked questions.
The 38-year-old, Shoji Morimoto, spoke to BBC during an interview saying that everyone used to tell him that he was the only one among them that does nothing, and he thought to use that as a business where he’d rent himself out to others to do nothing.
Besides his payment of $98 for the sessions, his expenses such as meals and the activities that they will be going to will be paid for by the client.
He is charging 10,000 yen (SGD$98) to spend time with his customers and have meals with them, and he is often seen in his photos using his phone while with the clients.
Over the last 4 years, Morimoto has had over 4,000 sessions with his clients, earning about SGD$392,000 in 4 years, according to Reuters.
Presently, he serves about one or two clients each day, effectively earning almost SGD$6,000 (rounded up) per month just to do nothing.
