The man famous for street-prank Vines says he refused a seven-figure advertising deal to stay true to his ideals and travel the world .
You know Jerome Jarre, the 24-year-old French social media star with huge followings on Vine and Snapchat?
He says that he's just turned down the offer of $1 million from a New York advertising agency because he wants to "stay true" to his mission of self-discovery. He posted this video last week:
The set-up is that he's been invited to a big New York advertising agency (he doesn't say which one) for an important meeting.
This much is plausible. Jarre is one of the key figures in the emergent Vine scene and has 7.5 million followers.
And behind the silliness of his vines, he's a cunning entrepreneur. He co-founded GrapeStory, a talent agency for people making waves on Vine, Instagram and Snapchat.
