In 2007, a teenager made headlines by selling his spot in line for the first iPhone for $800. He had waited more than 12 hours in Dallas when a woman offered to buy his place, and he took the deal. That teenager was Marc Rebillet, now known as “Loop Daddy.” Despite the one-phone-per-customer rule, he still managed to walk away with an iPhone of his own. The moment went viral on YouTube and became Rebillet’s first brush with fame. Years later, he built a massive following as a musician and comedian, known for improvised live performances delivered in his trademark bathrobe and briefs.
