To evaluate whether it’s possible to earn $1 million (and afford a $500,000 watch) by selling lotion to the Cambodian population, we’ll break this into a realistic business scenario.

🧴 Hypothetical Sales Plan
📌 Assumptions:
Population: 17 million
Buyers per month: 1%–2% of population = 170,000 to 340,000 buyers/month
Purchase frequency: 1 time per month
Product sold: Lotion
Price per lotion unit: Let's consider $5, $10, and $15 price points
Goal: Reach $1 million in profit and afford a $500,000 watch

💰 Revenue Calculations
Price per Unit 1% Buyers (170k) 2% Buyers (340k)
$5 $850,000 $1.7 million
$10 $1.7 million $3.4 million
$15 $2.55 million $5.1 million
➡ Conclusion: Even with 1% of the population buying a $10 lotion monthly, you can easily exceed $1 million revenue/month.

📉 Cost & Profit Estimation
Let’s estimate profit after production, marketing, and operations:
Cost per unit (manufacture + packaging + delivery): ~$2–$4
Net profit per unit (after costs):
At $5 price → ~$1–$3
At $10 price → ~$6–$8
At $15 price → ~$10–$12
Example (1% market, $10 lotion, $7 net profit):
👉 170,000 units × $7 = $1.19 million profit per month
So YES — earning $1 million/month is mathematically possible, if:
You capture just 1–2% of the market
Maintain good profit margins
Operate with efficient costs and strong branding

⌚ Can You Buy a $500,000 Watch?
If you reach $1 million net profit in 1–2 months, you could technically afford a $500,000 luxury watch — but business reinvestment is usually smarter early on.
A single product with a 1–2% pe*******on rate in a 17M market = a goldmine if done well.

🚀 Final Thought: Is It Impossible?
🔓 Not impossible — but challenging.
Here’s what it would take:
A strong, desirable lotion brand
Affordable pricing with good value
Trusted distribution (online/offline)
Effective marketing, likely localized and social-proof driven
Customer retention (so they buy monthly)
With this in place, a $1M revenue business in Cambodia through lotions is ambitious but plausible.
