Default How DID you or your family get filthy rich?

Inspired by the missed opportunities thread. Tell us your stories of the stock you bought at 10% of its current value or the successful internet start-up that made your buddy a millionaire.

From the Finance and Investing forum it's clear that quite a few 2+2ers have done well in the past with investing and money-making. How exactly did you make your fortune or mini-fortune? If you haven't made yours yet, what's your plan? What about your family, friends?

How much do you consider a "fortune" to be?

My friends,

It all began many years ago when the President of Nigeria was assassinated and his considerable fortune somehow found itself under my control.

My first step was finding hundreds of trusting Americans to help me transfer the money out of the country. The second step is unimportant to the question at hand. The third step was to profit, my friends.

Your friend,
Idi
