I know of someone who seems to have taken the hit by some sort of MLM embroilment (think flaunting her Mercedes AMG to deleting defamatory comments on her own social media). Can anyone spill the beans about how MLM works, how they afford luxuries after JUST graduating, and why do they often change company names or call themselves entrepreneurs?

I was actually approached by a Grab driver about a year ago. As my pickup location was in my school, the driver started the conversation by asking about my plans in the future. Honestly, I didn't really want to talk as I was really tired with my projects in school, but it would be rude of me if I did not answer.
I answered his question and he told me that he used to be working in a similiar industry that I am interested in, and said the working life was really tough and dirty etc. I simply nod my head and answered "Oh..", "I see.."
Then he asked me if I have heard of this MLM company, and I said yes because the office is actually near to where I live. So he started telling me about he knew this poly girl who worked really hard while she was studying and owns a VW Beetle at the age of 20. And she is just one of the example in the company. Again, I simply nod my head and gave a forceful smile to him...
When we reach our destination, he continues with his talk and pointed to the energy drink that was on his car dashboard. (Yes, he stick the energy drink using a blu-tack) He even told me that this energy drink will take on the big brands in the supermarket in 2 years time... I simply smiled and said "Ohh really?". He wrote down his name and gave me his contact number and told me to contact him when I'm interested in joining the company. I threw the paper away as soon as I was at my lift lobby...
Honestly, I don't mind if drivers share their experiences they had in their life. But to me, taking advantage of being a cab driver and attract young adults who are still studying really kind of disgust me.

I almost joined a particular MLM scheme (not gonna mention company name) back when MLM was new to me. The company did not change its name frequently, and they call themselves entrepreneurs as they are officially called IBOs (Independent Business Owners).
In most cases, how MLM works is as follows:
Regarding the flaunting of expensive cars, you will never know if the car is:
One can easily staged this by renting an expensive car and engaging a professional photographer, to create a FOMO effect while spending less.
