Jeff Bezos wife became the richest woman in America with the stroke of a pen. So, however long it took to sign her name, that quick.

When it was like $10 a coin I think

Growing up in Lafayette in the 60s, you saw a fair amount of families that seemed to up their standard of living real quick. As I remember, the dads were independent geologists or land men and hit a big find.

My old man had about 50 acres and still managed to pocket $300K or so over several years. Nothing changed for us other than buying more land. Neighbors with actual oil wells on their property did okay—built pools and remodeled houses. Don’t really remember anyone outright retiring.
