Indie hacker Marc Lou says he's been paid $103,000 so far to race in a Hyrox competition, with the auction ending in six hours — winning brands get tattooed on his body.
LinusEkenstam notes he made more in two days than most people make in a year, calling him probably the best-paid startup athlete on the platform. Another wild personal-brand marketing play from the indie hacker scene.
