Does $27.40 a day really turn into millions, or is that just podcast math? In 1959, Ronald Read, a World War II veteran pumping gas in Brattleboro, Vermont, bought his first stock: 39 shares of Pacific Gas and Electric for about $2,380. He kept pumping gas for another two decades, then worked as a janitor at JCPenney. He drove a secondhand Toyota Yaris, cut his own firewood into his 90s, and held his coat together with safety pins. Nobody in town thought he had any money. And he kept buying. Boring companies like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, and he almost never sold. When he died in 2014 at 92, he owned at least 95 different stocks. His estate was worth about $8 million. Brattleboro found out when the hospital got $4.8 million and the library got $1.2 million in donations.
