Here's how I made my money. I started with virtually nothing -- just one nickel. I used it to buy a single apple. I spent hours polishing the apple and then resold it for 10 cents. Then I bought two apples, polished them both until they were gleaming, and sold them for a total of 20 cents. I used that to buy four apples and did the same thing.
Then my uncle died and left me $10 million.
