re: How did that person in your class become rich?

Have a few that inherited oil related industries from their parents. I get invited to fish with them a good bit. Not sure how much money they have but the boats are a few million a piece.

Another one was this quiet nerdy kid. He Bought a few rental properties when he was in college and now has over 500 units throughout the country. He has a large yacht and 7 seater private jet.
