2. A Homemade Rolls Royce
Young Moukanov is a 24-year-old man from Kazakhstan. He has a passion for the luxurious Rolls Royce Phantom, but that model costs over $300,000 USD. So instead of getting one, he decided to turn his old Mercedes into a Rolls Royce.

3. DIY Roller Coaster!
Theme park admission prices are not cheap anymore, and they go up year after year. Jeremy Reid from Oklahoma is a huge amusement park fan, and also very skilled, so he decided to make his own roller coaster.
Luckily, his parents’ backyard happens to be a 10-acre plot near Oklahoma City, and he built his roller coaster right there.
His roller coaster has a 16-foot drop and can propel riders to speeds of more than 15 mph; his investment in this project was $10,000.

5. Homemade Robots
Mr. Wu Yulu, 48, from the outskirts of Beijing is a very skilled person.
His unusual hobby of making robots forced him into heavy debt and also posed a great risk to his marriage — but he never gave up.
He started his hobby in 1986 and has continued to build robots in his backyard with scrap metal. So far, he has built a total of 47 robots. They can perform a variety of functions including jumping, painting, drinking and pulling carts.
In 2010, he was invited to exhibit 30 of his robots at a Shanghai Expo and he has gained worldwide fame as a result.
Hard work is rewarded; Mr. Wu has now received many prizes and contracts with universities.
