A young man asked a old rich man

A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money:

“Well, son, it was 1932.”

The depth of the Great Depression.

I was down to my last $10’s.

I invested that $10’s in an apple.

I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for $20’s.

The next morning,

I invested that $20’s in two apples.

I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them for $30’s each.

I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I’d accumulated a fair fortune for back then….

Then my wife’s father died and left us two $2 million dollars!
