I'm pretty sure you can't buy 365 * 24 man hours for 25k.

Minimum wage in the USA is, what?, $7.25 / hr?

So you'd need two shifts to cover your waking hours, so call it $30,000 per year. The last driver takes the car home and the first one picks it up.

Making a lot of assumptions here. It was just a silly thought experiment.

They don't even need to drive continuously. They could just park it at a semi-legal location nearby until asked to move.

What an existence, lol!

Uhmmm Poland, first world country, the minimum wage is about ~$7k/year. So three men working full time around the clock = $21k/year. Easy.

Maybe not in Hong Kong, but try the Philippines or some other countries and it's very realistic.
