You’re 16 with €500. No qualifications. No assets. No place of your own—just a room in your parents’ home.
Life Inc. throws you into an unforgiving financial simulator where every month counts. Start as a shop assistant, DJ or streamer. Build toward investment portfolios, high-volatility crypto, rental properties and your own corporation.
But be careful: status costs money. To earn like an executive, you have to live like one... and take the risk that one bad run of loans or taxes can leave you on the street.
Start at the bottom and rise through administration, technology, finance, construction, sales and more. Education, time in the role and lifestyle requirements stand between you and the next promotion.
DJ: Master four specialized courses and 14 career stages, from bedroom sets to elite residencies and your own record label.
Content Creator: Script, record and edit videos; ride trends without fatiguing your audience, hire writers and editors, and secure sponsorships.
Football Career: Unlock in later generations. Manage training, nutrition, rest, goals, transfers and contracts on the road to legend status.
Education has a cost: Rent doesn't stop while you complete vocational courses, degrees, master's programs or coding bootcamps.
Build wealth outside your paycheck, but don't mistake it for a passive-income button.
Stock Market & Dividends: Trade 11 companies and 2 indexes. Earnings, momentum, payout ratio and fixed dividend payout months affect every stock.
Six Cryptocurrencies: A standalone high-volatility market with no dividends and its own risk dynamics.
Authentic Real Estate: Buy garages, land, offices, residential and luxury properties; select tenant offers, renovate to raise value and yield, take mortgages, and hire a property manager as your portfolio scales.
Financial Advisor: Unlock the desk, pick a strategy, and fund an automated monthly plan.
Step off the corporate ladder: launch your own business, run daily operations, and scale it into a corporate holding.
Choose suburbs, city centre or financial district: location changes rent, foot traffic and hiring capacity.
Set pricing, suppliers, marketing, payroll and hiring. Staff skills grow; underpaying the market carries consequences.
Actively manage employee compensation until HR takes over.
Invest in R&D, balance quality with demand, and handle tasks yourself until your team can carry the load.
Build a genuinely profitable enterprise.
Automation and Exit: Integrate your company into a holding group for full automation, or sell when the valuation peaks.
Loans and mortgages can accelerate a plan; debt payments and interest can just as easily break it. File annual taxes covering salary, rent, stocks and company profits. Property sales incur capital gains. At higher wealth tiers, Solidarity Wealth Tax kicks in.
The question isn't just what you're worth. It's whether you can still afford next month.
As your portfolio pays off, collect art and antiques, watches and jewellery, vehicles and yachts, aerospace assets, private islands and megastructures. Certain items among the 125 pieces unlock only in later generations.
At year 50, receive a comprehensive balance sheet of your lifetime: revenue, expenses, taxes paid and property returns. Draft your will. Your heir begins a fresh life with inherited capital, your collection, and new long-term objectives.
Play the guided tutorial, freeplay sandbox or an 11-chapter Story Mode. Sergio reacts to what you actually do: your first eviction, bankruptcy warnings, skipping dialogue repeatedly, reckless clicking, and decisions you might live to regret.
