A total of 40% of the funds, or around Rp1.5 billion, is used for several purposes. Among them are capital, job creation, and improving the quality of public services. The village's RT/RW administrators also receive electric bicycles for operational purposes and can be rented out to tourists.

The action began with the removal of the name "Billionaire Village" from the neon box on Jalan Raya Sekapuk. Specifically, at the entrance of the Village Hall.
