A 24-year-old entrepreneur, Latiesha Jones, has built a lucrative business earning $80,000 a year by selling her toenail clippings, spit, and bathwater to a global customer base.
Once a medical student, Jones turned to unconventional income sources during her university years to cope with financial strain.
Her journey into this unusual hustle began with a $270 offer for worn stockings while working part-time at a strip club, sparking her interest in niche fetish markets.
Now generating around $6,700 weekly, Jones sells a range of items, including foot-related products, sweaty gym wear, lingerie, and even vials of her spit, which once fetched $2,030.
Her hair extension braids are also highly sought after, with buyers particularly drawn to the unique scent of her scalp, adding to her profitable catalog.
On the Tea At Four podcast, Jones revealed the disturbing ways customers use her products, including one buyer who grinds her toenail clippings into a powder to use as salt for food.
Public reactions have been strong, with social media comments expressing disgust, such as “That’s knocked me sick” and “This is not normal. What is wrong with people?”
Despite abandoning her medical career, Jones defends her work, comparing it to her original goal of helping people, now by mentoring women in the same niche market safely.
She appeared on ITV’s This Morning, arguing that her business empowers women by introducing them to safe, profitable ventures they might not otherwise explore.
Jones dismisses concerns about selling biological materials, shrugging off fears of DNA misuse or cloning, likening it to selling clothes on platforms like eBay or Vinted.
Her financial success is undeniable—she’s debt-free, owns property, and mentors others, like Freya Ashthorpe, who sells hair for £50 and acrylic nails for £40, proving the earning potential of niche markets.
