Скачать или смотреть $180 Became $7 Million: 3 True Stories of Ordinary People Who Got Rich Slow

A secretary with $180. A janitor with safety-pinned shirts. A clerk with a tiny pension.

All three became multi-millionaires.

Not through luck. Not through crypto. Not through get-rich-quick schemes.

Through patience, compound interest, and a strategy so simple that anyone can replicate it.

In this video, I'm starting a new personal finance series by sharing three TRUE stories that will change how you think about wealth building:

Grace Groner: Turned $180 into $7 million over 75 years
Ronald Read: A janitor who secretly amassed $8 million
Anne Shyer: Built $22 million from a $3,100 annual pension

These aren't fairy tales. These are real people with verifiable stories who proved that regular people can build extraordinary wealth.
