Many Amway IBOs and prospects believe they've discovered a rock star as soon as they see the diamonds on the package. These individuals appear to have literally unlimited financial resources and to be living a life of excessive luxury with no cares in the world, at least on the surface level. Life is nothing more than a long, luxurious vacation with all of your favorite people. The reasoning behind this is that informing someone that they are a diamond who simply lives a middle-class lifestyle would not be particularly appealing to them.
Diamonds, on the other hand, are something that some of you are familiar with. As an independent business owner (IBO), I was also invited to the Diamonds House because I was considered to be a rising star in the industry. Despite the fact that our diamond was the proud owner of a respectable home, it was neither a mansion nor anything particularly noteworthy in terms of architectural significance. Their version of events was that the house had been sold and that the diamond would eventually relocate to a gated community.
In any case, fast forward more than two decades, and my former diamond has never been accepted into a gated community and has even fallen out of diamond qualification and been classified as an emerald rather than a diamond at one point in its history. He had qualified for diamond status, and I was informed that the diamond had been relocated from Hawaii to Washington State, rather than the gated community where he had been living at the time. Given that he was once quoted as saying, "I absolutely adored the ocean," this is intriguing.
What does this mean: do diamonds get to live happily ever after with an endless supply of cash? As a result of my research, I have come to the conclusion that diamonds (although not all of them) are in debt, just as much of the rest of the United States is. Income from the diamond industry is limited, and living a life of excessive luxury is prohibitively expensive, especially for those working in the industry. According to Amway, a Q12 diamond is worth approximately $600,000, but a Q12 diamond is extremely rare, with only a few hundred of them being produced each year. In accordance with Amway, the average non-Q12 diamond earns approximately $150k per year, in addition to any additional income from tools or functions.
Despite having a good income, paying off mansions and sports cars in cash has proven to be a difficult task. Unless they're extremely wealthy, I'm not sure diamonds and their families can afford to travel first class everywhere they go, with the exception of the most tenured and established diamonds. In fact, many people are surprised to learn that a diamond's monthly income can be quite low, due to the fact that the majority of a diamond's income is received in the form of annual bonuses.
The simple act of calculating the numbers and applying common sense to different lifestyles shows that a diamond cannot live the diamond lifestyle that they often portray unless they are in debt to someone. In a mathematical sense, it's just logical to do so.
