Man Built a $188M Fortune Investing in Stocks Then Donated It to Charity
From the article:<p><i>Most millionaires opt for stealth wealth.  Their friends don’t know, their coworkers don’t know, their extended family doesn’t know.  In a few cases, not even their children know!  Wealth is accumulated through habits; at least in a free society like ours.  At the moment, something like 1 out of 25 households falls into the millionaire category, most of it self-made.</i><p>From the comments:<p><i>Your right in Jack MacDonald&#x27;s case too, he didn&#x27;t make his initial money from stocks, his wealth was inherited which was then invested, he didn&#x27;t spend any of it because he thought of himself as the steward of the inherited wealth<p>&quot;His wealth was inherited from his parents, who owned MacDonald Meat Co. in Seattle, and he sought to boost the funds by investing their money&quot;</i><p>&quot;Wealth is accumulated through habits&quot; is a great story to tell people but it seems very often to be complete BS.
