How are young amateur cinematographers getting their hands on Alexa Mini's?

As I've grown and networked in the NYC cinematography world I'm beginning to meet more and more super young amateur and Up and coming DP's who outright own an Alexa Mini LF or Alexa 35. I'm talking 22 year olds with $90-100k rigs. When I bought my C70 set up earlier in my 20's I thought it was a pretty big investment dropping $8-10K on new camera gear, but it's still an understandable investment for someone trying to advance. Same with a young DP buying a RED camera. But an ARRI ALEXA at 22-23 just seems so wild to me. When I ask them how they got it it's always a vague response like "Oh I just bit the bullet" or "I just saved up money and sent it". Like where are you getting this money from lil bro lmao? If anyone knows how some of these young DP's that have only been in the game for 2-3 years are getting their hands on insane equipment please share
