The Tiger King Effect

When someone gets rich or famous because they’re in the right place, at the right time. Similar to the tiger king documentary in 2020. It was released at the perfect time. Everyone watched it and discussed that documentary because we were all bored during lockdown and tired of conversing about the nonstop covid propaganda. That’s why it spread like wildfire.

“Did you hear about Kevin?”
Yeah, that guy has the tiger king effect. I’m sure he earned that $20,000 bonus but he was seriously at the best branch in the entire company. It was only a matter time before that region started booming…
