How to Make the How I Become a Millionaire AI Video (ChatGPT Millionaire Trend)

Updated 2026-10-16 · By HowIBecome

Short answer: upload one clear, front-facing photo, pick the solo or pet template, choose 480p or 720p HD, and press the button — it shows how many credits the clip uses; short of credits, you pick a pack and pay first. About 5 minutes later you download a vertical 13-second MP4 where you're that one friend who asks ChatGPT everything: asking how to become a millionaire, being told to get a job, and reacting — lip-synced to the skit's original sound. ChatGPT itself can't render that clip, but it's handy for captions.

One photo · original sound, lip-synced

That one friend who asks ChatGPT everything: the setup

The skit plays the friend who runs every life decision past ChatGPT. Phone held to the mouth like a voice note, they ask how to become a millionaire in 30 days, read “Get a job.” off the screen and take it personally — “Bro, what are they talking about?” Your clip keeps those beats, the camera and the original sound; only the person (or pet) changes.

Step 1: pick the right photo

The face in your clip comes from one photo, so the photo matters more than anything else. Use a clear photo with one person — a real photo or an AI character both work — face close to the camera and turned toward it, in even light. No sunglasses, no heavy filters, no group shots.

Only upload yourself, adults who said yes, or your own pet. Photos of celebrities, public figures or minors aren't allowed.

Step 2: choose a template

Solo puts you in the lead. The pet template makes your dog or cat the one asking: it takes the person's place in the skit, standing up with the phone in its paw, lip-synced to the original lines.

Step 3: pick 480p or HD and check the credits

Your clip has the question, “Get a job.”, “Bro, what are they talking about?”, the angry typing and the second question. 480p is the standard; 720p HD is sharper and uses two clips' worth of credits.

The button shows how many credits the clip uses: 10 for 480p, 20 for HD. Short of credits, you pick a pack and pay first — one clip is $8.99 with the Single pack, two are $14.99 (or one in HD), and the Party pack brings it down to about $6 a clip. Pack credits never expire, and there's no subscription.

Step 4: download and post

Clips are vertical (9:16) from the start, so they're ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. You can also export a square or silent copy for free. The clip already carries the skit's original sound, lip-synced, so don't add it again — and if you add music, keep it quiet under the dialogue.

If the result looks off

Hands and fast head turns are the hardest frames for any video model, so small glitches can show up there. A sharper, better-lit, front-facing photo fixes most face problems. If a render fails, times out or a safety filter blocks the photo, the credits are refunded automatically.

Can ChatGPT make the video itself?

Not the clip. Typing “make me the ChatGPT millionaire video with my face” into a chat window won't give you a lip-synced, 13-second remake starring you. The remake needs three things in one video: your face, kept consistent through head turns; the skit's motion and timing; and the lines in sync with your mouth.

That takes two models in a row. An image model turns your photo into a character sheet — a close-up of your face and a full-body shot, in the outfit of the skit. Then a video model (Seedance 2.5) edits the skit itself, same movement, camera and cut, with your character in the person's place. You don't write a prompt; the scene, the beats and the lines are set up already. A chatbot is still useful around the clip:

  • Explaining the meme and where it came from.
  • Rewriting the lines for your own twist (“how I become a millionaire by Friday?”).
  • Captions, hashtags and posting ideas.
  • A shot list if you'd rather film it yourself.

Captions and hashtags that land

Let the clip do the joke and use the caption to set up who's asking. Pin a comment with the full line if the ending gets cut off by captions. A few that fit the format:

  • “asked ChatGPT how to be a millionaire in 30 days 💀”
  • “my dog's business plan got rejected”
  • “the one friend who asks ChatGPT everything”
  • “respectfully, no.”

Hashtags and the AI label

#chatgptmillionairetrend is the tag the remakes collect under. Add one or two broad tags such as #chatgpt, #millionaire or #aimeme, and #dogsoftiktok or #catsoftiktok for pet versions. Five tags is plenty; put them after the joke so the first line people read is the setup.

TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all ask you to disclose realistic AI-generated video, and some detect it automatically. Turn the label on yourself — it doesn't hurt reach, and it keeps your account safe. Don't present the clip as a real conversation with ChatGPT or as the original creator's video, and only post yourself, adult friends who agreed, or your own pets.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. The scene, the moves and the lines are already set up for the trend; you only add the photo and pick the options.

Can I do it on my phone?

Yes. The whole site works in a phone browser, and you can upload straight from your camera roll.

Will it sound like me?

No — your clip keeps the skit's original sound, with your mouth lip-synced to it. It doesn't copy your real voice.

Is this site made by OpenAI, and does the phone show the ChatGPT app?

No to both. HowIBecome is an independent fan tool, not affiliated with OpenAI (ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI), and the phone in your clip shows a plain, generic chat screen with no logos.

What's the best time to post?

While the trend is fresh. Meme remakes peak within a couple of weeks, so post sooner rather than later.

Ready to get told to get a job?

One photo, about five minutes, and the phone says no.
