If I had bot BRK.A in 1997 at its lowest price of around $33k per share with all the money I had to my name at that time - being around $8k I would have been about to buy approx 1/4 of a share which would be worth ~ $129k today.
I've had single day penny stock trade (taking profits) more than that.
It's easier for rich man to go through the eye of needle than it is for a camel to get into heaven.
