I Need an Idea...

Lots of possibilities. He invented some great computer thing like Bill Gates. He's an oil magnent like Onasis. He bought IBM when it was a dollar a share and he had a thousand dollars in it so he then ended up with every share being worth a hundred times that to equal whatever he got. He bought all the land he could in the 50s when it cost nothing and sold it all in the 90s and retired before this big recession mess. I like the British guy who worked for an airline, started at the bottom, when up the ranks, didn't like what was going on, created his own airline and was worth big bucks. Before the airlines were in trouble, 911, if he had sold out. . .. I like the simple invension idea, like the guy who invented eyes for shoes, I think that was the invension that made a guy a million.

He could have also been heired the money...or won it in a lottery... But ultimately to be "rich" like you're describing, and for your ideal of self-made honest wealth, he would have to be a suave investor, a lucrative business owner--a business whose product/service is/was in high demand, or be really, really good at what he does "directing/producing/specializing in certain medicine or surgery/architectural, etc." Hope that helps.

He could have been a stockbroker, a lawyer, a banker or owner of a thriving, family owned business. What a generous man to make this lady a big part of his will. Am guessing they didn't date very long before he departed or am I wrong?

Hi lily, Hmm... there can be a lot of things. Like he can be a big stock market dealer. A very famous sports person or a movie star or he is rich just becouse his parents are rich. You have plenty of options to work with.. lol. Good luck with the story Cheers, Tutul

the guy could have rich parents. he could have a trust fund or something. he could be and engineer for a big firm. or a lawyer. or an actor or anyone from the movie industry. lol.
