While working at Dunkin', in the evening,[6] he traded on the London Stock Exchange[7] with a US$100 initial investment.[8] According to interviews and promotional materials associated with his brand, he started with a small trading account and developed strategies focused on technical analysis and short-term market movements.

Bugatti Chiron Crash and Restoration Project

In 2025, Gonzalez was involved in a notable incident involving a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport hypercar, one of a limited series of just 60 produced. He crashed the multi-million-dollar vehicle into the back of a smaller vehicle in Miami, resulting in substantial front-end damage. The damage included deployed airbags, cracked carbon-fiber structure, and significant mechanical damage — and the insurance company declared the car a total loss. Gonzalez subsequently repurchased the wrecked car at auction through Copart.[11]

Due to Bugatti’s strict policy on repairs for its limited-production hypercars, the manufacturer initially refused to sell replacement parts for independent rebuilds and required that any restoration take place at its factory in France. This stance effectively “locked” the vehicle’s identification number (VIN), preventing third-party repairs.[12]

Gonzalez publicly threatened to 3D-print his own replacement parts if Bugatti did not un-blacklist the car, prompting a direct response from Bugatti’s CEO, Mate Rimac, explaining the impracticality and safety risks of additive manufacturing for structural components of such an advanced hypercar.[13]

At the same time, British automotive YouTuber Mat Armstrong — known for rebuilding exotic cars — became involved in the ongoing restoration efforts. Gonzalez asked Armstrong to help repair the crashed Chiron in Miami rather than send it to France. Armstrong documented initial teardown and assessment of the extensive damage, with preliminary repair estimates reaching around $1.7 million if conducted through the official manufacturer.[14]

As of early 2026 reporting, Gonzalez and Armstrong continued to evaluate options for rebuilding the car outside of factory authorization, with discussions still underway about parts acquisition and potential alternatives.

In 2024, during Super Bowl LVIII,[15] he streaked across the field during the third quarter.[16] He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on misdemeanor charges.[17]

On February 9, 2026, early in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LX, the Santa Clara Police Department arrested Alex Gonzalez, and Sebastian Rivera Jimenez, at Levi Stadium during the game for allegedly trespassing. They entered the playing area at around midfield. Gonzalez ran between a pair of officials, one of whom dived after him and missed, then took off toward the end zone. Gonzalez made it near the 10-yard line, with Patriots rookie receiver Kyle Williams in pursuit at one point, before sliding to a stop.[18]
