TikTok user @chadwfranke is sharing a story about how he caused a significant financial loss to his family. In a TikTok video uploaded on March 23, 2026, Chad Franke explains that when he was just 14 years old, he “ruined” a “multi-six-figure” brand deal. The deal was with Wet Ones, which sells wet wipes, and they were supposed to pay Franke’s family about $ 100 to $ 200,000 for a single video shoot.
In his video, Chad Franke reveals that Wet Ones flew him and his family to Universal Studios in Florida, covered their hotels and travel, and even cleared the park for two hours during opening hours just for the shoot. Chad notes that the first day of filming was at the park’s entrance, where the big globe was located. He was excited to go on the rides but was instead asked to pose for a few shots, which he did. However, what he did caused all the photos and videos to become unusable, leading the brand to refuse payment because the agreed deliverables were not met. So, what exactly did Chad do that cost his family so much? Keep reading to find out.
