Now what? You'll need some employees. 
Let's say the cost to join this wonderful scheme is 100 dollars. Right there you have 200 dollars. The people who invested in the idea are allowed to recruit as many new people as they want.
Of course, there's a 25% service charge. So now for every recruit your recruits recruit (ugh) you get another 25 dollars. What happens when the chart looks something like this?

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And there's you at the top, getting richer, and richer, and richer! If you recruit 2 people and they do the same, until it looks something like this, you'll have 800 dollars from recruiting a mere 2 people! Now imagine playing in the adult league, charging up to 1,000 dollars for recruiting rights. If this happened, you'd have an amazing 8,000 dollars!
So I ask you...
Ultimate? Yes.
Stupid? No.
Pointless? Absolutely.
