I’m an ex-cop — I ditched my badge and now make millions from my ATM business

He has the right to remain a multi-millionaire.
A retired San Francisco cop is making literal bank from his one-time side hustle managing ATM machines — Paul Alex’s now full-time job earns him over $8 million annually.
Alex, a former detective who found himself taking home as little as $2,000 per paycheck while serving the beleaguered Bay Area burg, got into the cash dispensing business around 2018 to supplement his income, purchasing a singular ATM for just $2,100.
The law-ntrepreneur installed his first machine inside of a nail salon, where it soon yielded him a $500 monthly profit.
In an Instagram video that has now gone viral, the savvy 35-year-old details his journey — and talks about how he was initially met with a great deal of skepticism.
“Since I started my ATM business 6 years ago, people have been telling me ATMs were obsolete or that I was 20 years too late,” he captioned the post.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
