1. You missed point 1. It's not about making 26K/day, but it's about 26K not being a huge amount of money.

Tell you what, I live in Tunisia, and still $26K is not huge or even big by any measures

2. Within a 24 hour period, he earned 26k.

Not true, if he were to do it again, he'll need to write another book; and that can't be done in 24 hours. But again, tell you what, I'll accept that argument.

He made a lot of money in a short time based on notoriety and marketing.

He has a brand. No one is born with a brand. You make the brand. The brand is a capital, just like a car or something of value you have. You can't make a brand in 24 hours, far from it.
